Description
ACE: L2 is a 5-day course that expands on ACE: L1, focusing on features and skills used daily within the Arista customer network. Candidates will be exposed to the Arista Universal Cloud Network (UCN) model for Layer 2 Leaf-Spine topologies, leveraging Multi-chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) and Virtual-ARP (VARP). This architecture is then presented in the context of the Arista Campus Network and will introduce Arista's WiFi and campus-specific features such as Power over Ethernet (PoE). All topics taught in this course are skills utilized in running an Arista network.
