In this course, you will focus on configuring the network for resiliency, QoS for traffic prioritization and security, and device and network security. You will learn to configure convergence features, including PoE, 802.1AB, and Automatic Detection, and Avaya IP Phones. You will determine which management tools to use to manage and troubleshoot networks with ERS 5500 and 4500 series switches. Through hands-on labs, you will configure the network infrastructure at Layer 2 and Layer 3.
