Course Overview
This training course covers monitoring, managing and configuring your edge-to-core network with the HPE Intelligent Management Center software platform (HPE IMC). This course starts with a discussion of how HPE Intelligent Management Center is installed, how devices are added through discovery, and then how they can be viewed. The course also goes through configuration management, along with VLAN management and then explains how HPE Intelligent Management Center is used to manage both firmware and configuration on devices. We also discuss how alarms are received and processed in HPE Intelligent Management Center, along with trap management. Finally, we look at performance management and the Virtualization Resource Management (VRM) component against an ESXi host. The lab exercises are focused around Comware, Aruba Edge (AOS) and Aruba CX Switches, and some Cisco. This course is approximately 40 percent lecture and learning activities and 60 percent hands-on lab activities.
