This course provides an in-depth review of Extreme Networks’ Fabric Connect advanced features for integrating SPBM with other protocols and solution requirements. You will learn how to expand the campus configuration by implementing Fabric Extend including Fabric over SD-WAN. You will see how Distributed Virtual Routing (DvR) is used to optimize routing in the Fabric. Redistributing routes from outside protocols into ISIS is discussed with route policies. Lectures are supported with hands-on configuration of VSP8400, Universal Hardware 5520, and EXOS.
