HPE Aruba Networking Basics

In HPE Aruba Networking Basics, you will learn what a basic computer network is, compare local and wide area networks, use cases, and implementation types. Communication over these networks relies on protocols. Once you learn about those, you will be well on your way to understanding network communications and well prepared to learn VLANs and how to configure an HPE Aruba Networking Switch! This course includes a free Hands-On Lab to help reinforce the concepts. Typical candidates for this course are individuals who are new to networking and want to learn the basics of wired networking.
