Overview By attending the ERS Fundamentals bootcamp, you will gain a fundamental understanding of IP routing protocols with emphasis on the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol. The course explains the theory, configuration, operation, and support of the OSPF protocol with special consideration given to OSPF areas, summary ranges, and external routes.
The course also includes a discussion of address masks, Routing Information Protocol, the use and configuration of IP route policy filters along with an introduction to Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and IPv6.
You will also explore the installation process for Ethernet Routing Switches including licensing and PoE configurations. You will examine the processes involved in the implementation of Avaya's small, medium, and large converged campus solutions.
Hands-on labs will allow you to configure the ERS 8600 to serve as the network core and ERS 5500s to serve on the network edge. Labs will use a combination of the ERS 8600 CLI, NNCLI on the ERS 5500, and Java Device Manager.
