At the end of this course, you will understand API and Automation concepts and be aware of a variety of tools and methods for automating ExtremeCloud IQ deployments. Automation is about turning repetitive jobs into self-proceeding procedures with use of scripts. Besides automating day-to-day tasks, this course is also about automating deployments. All these automations, tasks, workflows, and scripts result in a more efficient and effective way of doing business, but it also reduces human errors for “simple” and recurring tasks. Scripting skills are required to master automation and implement solutions independently, but instruction about custom scripting is limited. All scripts required for the labs are provided.
Extreme Switching – Advanced Configuration
Students will learn methods to enhance their existing switching and routing environment with security, traffic optimization, automation, and integration features.
Course Duration
2 Days
Target Audience
This course is designed as the first step for individuals responsible for the installation, configuration, and management of the Extreme Networks family of ExtremeXOS/SwitchEngine switches.
Course Overview
Students will learn methods to enhance their existing switching and routing environment with security, traffic optimization, automation, and integration features. Several network management tasks will be exercised. This knowledge will be reinforced through actual hands-on experience with networking equipment in a lab environment, where students will perform real-world tasks.
