Explore how agentic AI is reshaping network engineering and how to turn that shift into measurable business outcomes and value for your business or your customers.
You will use the augment, replace, create (ARC) adoption model to identify where AI should be used; determine when people belong in, over, or above the loop; and apply governance and security controls for agents operating across the network.
You will create a business case for a real-life AI network automation, build it as a custom skill in Extreme Exchange™, integrate it with systems beyond the network, and frame an outcome-led value case for customers or leadership. Through real-world network issues in a live lab environment and a build-focused workshop, you will use Extreme Agent ONE™ to investigate and resolve issues, assess the quality of its recommendations, and plan network design and change.
This workshop is designed for network engineers, network architects, network managers, sales engineers, solutions architects, consultants, and service practice leads from Extreme customers, partners, and distributors who design, operate, sell, or advise on networks and AI adoption.
You should have professional networking experience and familiarity with Extreme Platform ONE™ or ExtremeCloud IQ. No AI, data science, or programming background is required.
This two-day, instructor-led course is the required first step toward professional certification in Extreme Platform ONE.
You will build the foundational knowledge and practical skills to install, deploy, configure, and manage wireless networks with Extreme Platform ONE. Working through a guided deployment, you will navigate the interface, establish organizational and site structures, onboard wireless access points, configure network policies, deploy SSIDs, apply security settings, and validate connectivity. You will also use Extreme Platform ONE intelligence and AI-assisted capabilities to support day-to-day wireless operations.
This course is designed for network administrators, wireless network engineers, pre- and post-sales partner engineers, technical support professionals, solutions architects, and implementation or professional services specialists who install, deploy, or configure wireless networks using Extreme Platform ONE.
No formal prerequisite is required. To get the most from the course, you should have a working knowledge of LAN fundamentals and basic 802.11/Wi-Fi concepts.
Advance your Extreme Platform ONE expertise through instruction, demonstrations, and hands-on labs that mirror a live deployment. You will configure and validate identity and access services, SPBM fabric and Layer 3 services, advanced wireless authentication, RF and 6 GHz AFC, user and security policies, third-party management, and analytics. Using a repeatable, evidence-based methodology and multi-vendor diagnostic tools, you will troubleshoot wired foundations, RF health, client connectivity, authentication, roaming, and packet-level issues, then apply your skills in an end-to-end capstone that follows a client from association through monitoring.
This course is built for experienced network engineers, wireless and systems engineers, solutions architects, deployment engineers, pre- and post-sales partner engineers, technical support professionals, and implementation or professional services specialists who are ready to advance their Extreme Platform ONE expertise.
Completion of the Extreme Networks Certified Administrator (ENCA) for Extreme Platform ONE, or equivalent hands-on experience, is strongly recommended. You should also understand core LAN technologies—including Ethernet, VLANs, TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, and IP routing—along with basic 802.11/Wi-Fi, RADIUS, and 802.1X concepts.
Develop the practical expertise to install and configure Extreme Fabric Connect from initial design through full deployment. You will work with VSP 8400, Universal Hardware 5520, and ExtremeXOS equipment as you build an operational fabric featuring L2VSN, L3VSN, IP Shortcuts, Fabric Attach, and a vIST core switch pair. Instructor-led learning is reinforced with substantial hands-on lab work based on real deployment scenarios.
By the end of the course, you will be prepared to deploy Extreme Fabric solutions using reference architectures drawn from customer environments.
This course is an ideal starting point if you install, configure, or manage Extreme Fabric Connect switches.
You should have a solid understanding of LAN switching and routing, advanced Ethernet concepts, and TCP/IP.
Strengthen your ability to design, extend, and troubleshoot sophisticated Extreme Fabric environments in this fast-paced, lab-intensive course. You will expand a campus fabric with Fabric Extend, including fabric over SD-WAN; use multi-area SPBM to optimize routing; redistribute external routes into IS-IS with route policies; and integrate additional protocols and services. You will also use VOSS and Fabric Engine tools to verify proper operation, identify misconfigurations, and troubleshoot Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3, and fabric service issues.
Hands-on exercises cover management network setup; switch boot images, logs, and key health indicators; port configuration and diagnostics, including Time Domain Reflectometer testing and LLDP; IS-IS and SPBM infrastructure; VLACP and vIST core switch pairs; and Layer 2 VSN, IP Shortcuts, Layer 3 VSN, Inter-VSN routing, and IP multicast.
Each exercise is designed to sharpen the advanced configuration and diagnostic skills you need to support resilient, scalable fabric deployments.
This course is intended for network administrators, support engineers, and systems integrators responsible for the architecture, deployment, administration, and troubleshooting of Extreme Fabric networks.
You should bring professional networking experience, a working understanding of Layer 2 and Layer 3 operations, and a firm grasp of the concepts covered in the complete Extreme Fabric on-demand training.
Build the core skills to deploy and configure switching and routing environments with the ExtremeXOS/Switch Engine CLI. Through focused instruction and hands-on labs using networking equipment, you will apply proven methods to complete the real-world tasks involved in bringing an Extreme switching environment online and preparing it for reliable operation.
Choose this course if you are responsible for installing, configuring, or managing the Extreme Networks family of switches and want a strong foundation for continued technical development.
You should be comfortable with LAN fundamentals, including advanced Ethernet and TCP/IP concepts.
Advance your command of Extreme switching through intensive, scenario-based configuration and troubleshooting exercises. You will harden and optimize the network with authentication, authorization, and accounting; ONE Policy; and access control lists, then use CLI and Python scripting to automate repeatable actions and improve operational efficiency. The course emphasizes the judgment and technical precision required to administer complex switching environments with confidence.
This advanced course is designed for network administrators, support engineers, and systems integrators who architect, operate, and support networks built on Extreme switches.
You should have professional networking experience, a practical understanding of Layer 2 and Layer 3 operations, and a strong foundation in the concepts addressed throughout the course.
