Prerequisites:

 

Target Audience:

ACE:L3 is designed for senior network engineers, network architects, network operations professionals, and advanced-level network administrators.

 

Course Objectives:

This training will help you design and implement robust Layer 3 Leaf-Spine architectures, configure and troubleshoot BGP for both underlay and overlay networks, utilize VXLAN with BGP-EVPN for scalable and efficient network virtualization, and integrate Arista's CloudVision to automate and orchestrate advanced network operations.

 

Course Outline:

Course Outline:

CloudVision:

  • Onboarding devices with eAPI integration and provisioning
  • Executing Configlet changes, including MLAG configuration
  • Managing network changes with snapshots, action bundles, rollbacks, and reconcile
  • Automating tasks with the Configlet Builder
  • Managing tags, workspaces, and deploying configurations using Studios
  • Monitoring events, dashboards, topology, and ensuring compliance in Day 2 Operations.

Layer 3 Leaf-Spine Architecture:

  • Understanding Layer 2 Leaf-Spine architectures, limitations, and MLAG configuration
  • Exploring Layer 3 Leaf-Spine design, including routing, underlay, VXLAN, EVPN, and best practices.

Underlay:

  • Configuring VRFs, route distinguishers (RD), and route targets (RT) for network segmentation
  • Understanding various EVPN route types and their roles in VXLAN EVPN deployment
  • Implementing different routing types (MAC IP) and their application in EVPN overlays
  • Exploring symmetric and asymmetric Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) models within EVPN L3LS architectures.

Overlay – Data Plane:

  • Understanding the necessity of overlays and the relationships between VXLAN, VNI, VLAN, and the underlay
  • Key VXLAN concepts including terminology, headers, and encapsulation techniques
  • Exploring control plane options for VXLAN, including Head End Replication, VXLAN Controller Service (CVX), and MP BGP EVPN integration.
