Modern enterprise networks are rapidly evolving from traditional VLAN-based campus designs to automated, policy-driven fabric architectures.

In this course, you will learn Aruba Central NetConductor (ACN) in depth and understand how Aruba builds modern Software-Defined LAN (SD-LAN) environments using industry-standard EVPN and VXLAN technologies.

Unlike many courses that focus only on configuration steps, this course explains the architecture, design principles, packet flow, control plane operations, segmentation models, and deployment considerations that every network engineer, architect, and consultant should understand before implementing a campus fabric.

Starting with the fundamentals of SD-LAN, you will gradually move into advanced topics including:
