This 2-day course teaches students how the HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 Series with Pensando can improve data center network (DCN) security and performance. Students will learn why the CX 10000 is unique and how its placement in the DCN will dynamically change the performance and security. Students will learn how and where to install the CX 10000.

Through the HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer, students will create and configure their entire network, as well as create and apply policy, including micro-segmentation. Using AMD Pensando PSM, students will understand how it integrates with Fabric Composer and the CX 10000, and they will be able to monitor switches and policy performance.
