Configuring HP FlexNetwork Technologies for Comware Devices (H4C87S)

COURSE OVERVIEW

This course introduces network professionals to the basic features of modern networks such as VLANs, redundancy technologies such as MSTP,IRF, link aggregation technologies like LACP, static IP routing, and dynamic routing with OSPF.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this course participants will learn how these technologies are implemented in the HP Comware 7 switch platform, and will have opportunities to practice configuring these features, monitor their functionality, and design a solution based on provided criteria. This course also includes an introduction to network management with HP’s Intelligent Management Center (IMC) version 7.

This course is approximately 40 percent lecture and learning activities and 60 percent hands-on lab activities.
