This lab guide is intended for administrators who are responsible for deploying and configuring Cisco IOS-XE solutions. Participants should have at least a basic understanding of WLAN concepts. It is assumed that participants have at least a working understanding of fundamental wireless concepts as well as Cisco technology.

This lab provides exposure to the new technology and capabilities of the Arista products used. This lab introduces the Arista Cloud Vision Portal(CVP) and includes 3 VXLAN EVPN scenarios based on best practices from the Arista design guides, ACE3 course material and Arista TAC support the Arista EOS forum posts. There are many different ways to create an Arista-based VXLAN EVPN fabric; these 3 lab scenarios presents 1) a migration phase from a standard 3 tier VLAN and SVI-based network to a VXLAN fabric, 2) using Asymmetrical IRB and 3)Symmetrical IRB. BGP routing is the underlay, overlay, and connectivity to the remote data center under migration. This sandbox and configs can be further used to explore other configurations and functionality of Arista CVP.

The Juniper Mist Foundations Lab is designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the features of the Mist Management Portal, Mist AP's and the Juniper EX Switch line.

Nexus Dashboard provides a centralized platform to simplify the deployment, management, and extension of VXLAN EVPN fabrics. In this hands-on lab, you will start by onboarding devices, then configure vPCs, VRFs, and networks to enable segmentation and tenant connectivity. You'll also implement external route advertisement, route leaking between VRFs, and explore the roles of Border Gateways versus Border Gateway Spines. Finally, you'll integrate multiple fabrics into a Multi-Site Domain, building a scalable, distributed architecture. This lab demonstrates the value of Nexus Dashboard in providing centralized visibility, streamlining operations, and simplifying complex fabric management across sites.

The Nexus Dashboard Sandbox provides a self-paced environment where you can explore and experiment without guided instructions. Unlike a structured guide lab, this sandbox offers multiple isolated environments for you to practice onboarding devices, configuring vPCs, VRFs, network segmentation, and tenant connectivity entirely on your own. You can test external route advertisement, route leaking between VRFs, and the interaction of Border Gateways and Border Gateway Spines, as well as experiment with Multi-Site Domain integration. This sandbox is designed to give you hands-on freedom to explore Nexus Dashboard's centralized management, visibility, and operational capabilities, building confidence in fabric management through trial, error, and discovery.
