Boost your server design expertise and start building fast, scalable, and secure HPE infrastructures with confidence. This course shows you how to architect, deploy, and optimize modern ArubaOS-Switch–based networks—from redundancy and routing to security and QoS—so you can deliver robust enterprise environments end-to-end. Level up your technical capabilities and turn complex HPE server and switching technologies into practical, production-ready solutions.
This course is ideal for IT professionals who design, deploy, or manage HPE ArubaOS-Switch–based networks at scale. It fits consultants, network engineers, systems engineers, and solution architects who want to build resilient, secure, and high-performance enterprise switching and server infrastructures.
Knowledge and/or certification of Aruba Switching Fundamentals
Introduction to Aruba Solutions

• Describe how the Mobile First Network from Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, delivers the digital workplace
Data Link Layer Redundancy Technologies
• Compare RPVST+ with RSTP and MSTP
• Implement spanning tree protocol and loop protections
• Describe how Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) and Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) detect and handle unidirectional links
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
• Ensure redundancy for a network’s default gateway by configuring VRRP on Aruba switches
• Ensure redundancy for a network’s default gateway by configuring VRRP on Aruba switches
• Use best practices for implementing VRRP with MSTP
ArubaBackplane Stacking andAdvancedVirtual Switch Framework (VSF)
• Describe the three topologies supported with backplane stacking and the roles members play in the stack
• Explain how backplane stacking handles stack fragments
• Implement and manage an VSF fabric
• Describe what a split VSF stack is and configure the mechanisms designed to detect and remedy this problem
Advanced Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
• Deploy ArubaOS products in single-area and multi-area OSPF systems
• Use area definitions and summaries to create efficient and scalable multiple area designs
• Advertise routes to external networks in a variety of OSPF environments
• Promote fast, effective convergence during a variety of failover situations
• Use virtual links as required to establish non-direct connections to the backbone
• Implement OSFP authentication
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
• Use Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) to optimize forwarding of multicasts within VLANs
• Describe the differences between IGMP and IGMP snooping
Protocol Independent, Multicast–Dense Mode (PIM-DM)
• Distinguish between PIM-DM and PIM-SM
• Implement PIM-DM to route multicast traffic
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
• Establish and monitor BGP sessions between your routers and ISP routers
• Advertise an IP block to multiple ISP routers
• Configure a BGP router to advertise a default route in OSPF
Access Control Lists (ACL)
• Define ACLs and identify the criteria by which ACLs select traffic
• Configure ACLs on ArubaOS switches to select given traffic
• Apply static ACLs to interfaces to meet the needs of a particular scenario
• Examine an ACL configuration and determine the action taken on specific packets
802.1X Authentication
• Implement 802.1X on ArubaOS switch ports
• Integrate ArubaOS switches with an Aruba ClearPass solution, which might apply dynamic VLAN assignments, ACLs, QoS priorities, and rate limits
MAC Authentication
• Implement RADIUS-based MAC Authentication (MAC-Auth) on ArubaOS switch ports
• Implement local MAC Authentication (LMA) on ArubaOS switch ports
Captive Portal and Other Guest Options
• Configure captive portal authentication on ArubaOS switches to integrate them with an Aruba ClearPass solution
• Implement Web Authentication (Web-Auth) on Aruba switch ports
• Combine multiple forms of authentication on a switch port that supports one or more simultaneous users
• Use the Unauthenticated VLAN on ArubaOS switches to provide guest access
Integrating with an Aruba Mobility Solution
• Configure tunneled-node on ArubaOS switches
• Describe when and how to configure PAPI enhanced security, high availability, and fallback switching for tunneled-node
Secure Device Management
• Set up RADIUS authentication and authorization for managers
• Describe the differences between SNMPv2c and v3 and configure SNMPv3 settings on ArubaOS switches
• Explain how technologies such as RMON, sFlow, and traffic mirroring allow you to monitor network traffic
• Explain best practices for managing configurations and monitoring network traffic using a solution such as Aruba AirWave
Quality of Service
• Describe how ArubaOS switches prioritize traffic based on its queue
• Configure ArubaOS switches to honor the appropriate QoS marks applied by other devices
• Configure ArubaOS switches to select traffic, apply the appropriate QoS marking, and place the traffic in the proper priority queues
• Implement rate limiting
• Configure a voice VLAN and LLDP-MED
Additional Security Features
• Implement DHCP snooping and ARP protection to defend networks against DHCP exploits, ARP snooping, and ARP poisoning attacks
• Implement the proper port security measures for various use cases
• Explain how MAC lockdown differs from port security and use the proper solution for each use case
• Implement connection rate filtering to provide a first layer of protection against viruses and worms
