This Learning Path will take you through configuration of Aruba 8360 and 6300F AOS-CX switches from OSPF to VSX. Aruba CX switches run on the AOS-CX, which is built to provide advanced networking capabilities. When configuring a WLAN in Aruba Central, you can choose different forwarding modes based on network requirements such as Bridged Mode and Tunneled Mode. WLANs are configured and managed through the cloud-based interface of Aruba Central. Aruba Central is Aruba's cloud-based network management platform.

A tutorial outlining Catalyst Managed Mode in the Meraki Dashboard which allows a Cisco Catalyst switch to be fully integrated and managed through the Meraki dashboard. The user will see how Meraki Monitor Mode allows the Meraki Dashboard to monitor the Catalyst switches and Wireless Lan Controllers without the ability to configure or manage them through the Meraki Dashboard and will walk through the conversion of a 9300-24UX into Managed mode as well as Monitor mode. The user will also see a demonstration on routing between a Catalyst Switch and a Meraki MX Appliance.

The Cisco Layer 2 Fundamentals Learning Path focuses on key networking concepts including VLANs, Trunks, CDP, LLDP, and UDLD. It starts with understanding how VLANs segment networks for better security and performance, followed by learning how trunk links enable communication between VLANs. You'll explore CDP and LLDP to discover network devices and topologies, and finally dive into UDLD for preventing unidirectional link failures. This path equips you with essential skills to manage, secure, and troubleshoot Layer 2 networks, providing a strong foundation for more advanced networking topics.
