Course Overview
This course introduces the participant to Enterprise SONiC Distribution by Dell Technologies through a series of video lectures and hands-on labs. The participant learns the necessary skills to configure and verify Enterprise SONiC installations on a data center leaf spine topology using the Management Framework-CLI (MF-CLI). The hands-on labs cover installing Enterprise SONiC, administration commands, Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Boarder Gateway Protocol (BGP), Virtual eXtensible Local-Area Networks (VXLANs), Q-in-Q and VLAN translation, QoS and performance, and IPv6 neighbor discovery. Participants are each assigned a lab environment running Enterprise SONiC on virtual Dell PowerSwitches running in GNS3, to complete self-guided labs.
Who should attend
This course is intended for professionals who will implement Enterprise SONiC on Dell Data Center Networking products.
