Designing Aruba Solutions Certification Practice Tests

Course description

This course teaches you how to plan and design enterprise Aruba

campus wireless and wired networks. Hands-on labs give you

experience with network design from information gathering to planning

and high-level design including RF Planning, Redundant Campus

Architecture design, and Remote Access Branch office design. This

course teaches Aruba Mobility Network Design for Aruba Secure

wireless and wired network deployments using Aruba Best Practices

on how to plan and design enterprise campus networks including

designing for redundancy and high availability.

Suggested prerequisites

The recommended prerequisites are the Aruba Certified Switching Associate (ACSA) and the Aruba Certified Mobility Associate (ACMA)

certifications.
