Do I need prior experience to join?

Advanced level. Hands-on experience with Arista technologies - or an associate-level certification in this track - is strongly recommended before you join.

Is the training classroom or online?

Both. Classroom batches run at our Mumbai campus, and the same batch streams live for online students across India. Both get identical lab access and the same instructor.

Are the labs hands-on?

Yes - the course includes 10 hands-on labs, practiced on real equipment with 24/7 remote lab access through Skillopia, our own lab platform, for practice between classes.

Can I attend a demo session before enrolling?

Yes. Sit through a live class with the instructor before you decide - call +91 91672 24466 or send an enquiry and we will schedule it.

Objectives

What you'll be able to do

The course objectives, as the vendor's own blueprint states them.

Design Layer 2 Leaf-Spine (L2LS) data center architectures considering performance, redundancy, and scale requirements.
Configure and troubleshoot VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol, LACP, and MLAG for resilient Layer 2 data center fabrics.
Implement first-hop redundancy using VRRP and VARP for high-availability gateway configurations.
Build L2LS data center networks using both CLI and CloudVision CVP configlets.
Design Layer 3 Leaf-Spine (L3LS) architectures with BGP underlay and understand the role of VXLAN and EVPN.
Configure eBGP underlay with load balancing and deployment options including BGP with MLAG.
Deploy VXLAN overlay networks and configure multiple control plane options including HER and EVPN.
Implement EVPN with MP-eBGP control plane, route types 2, 3, and 5 for Layer 2 and Layer 3 overlay services.
Configure symmetric and asymmetric IRB for inter-subnet routing within EVPN fabrics.
Deploy and manage L3LS data center networks with EVPN and MLAG using CloudVision Studios.

Included

What you get

Design and implement both Layer 2 and Layer 3 Leaf-Spine data center architectures on Arista platforms.
Master Layer 2 technologies including VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol, LACP, MLAG, and first-hop redundancy with VRRP and VARP.
Build L2LS data center fabrics using CLI and CloudVision configlets for scalable network deployment.
Configure BGP underlay for L3LS designs with eBGP load balancing and MLAG integration.
Design VXLAN overlay networks with multiple control plane options: multicast, HER (Head-End Replication), VCS, and EVPN.
Implement EVPN fundamentals including route types 2 (MAC-IP), 3 (IMET), and 5 (IP Prefix) for comprehensive overlay networking.
Master advanced EVPN concepts including symmetric and asymmetric IRB, VLAN-based and VLAN-aware bundle service interfaces.
Configure EVPN Active-Active multihoming with ESI and route types 1 and 4 for multi-chassis redundancy.
