HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Advanced Configuration

This advanced level course is taught as a workshop. Participants will be led through a real-world design and implementation scenario encompassing all aspects of the HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass security product. This 5-day course will cover the design, implementation, and troubleshooting of ClearPass solutions. The course is presented as a workshop, meaning that it is focused on student participation and hands-on labs to reinforce concepts through design exercises and lab debriefs, as well as planning and implementation of the design. This is not a course that relies on a step-by-step lab guide and you will be challenged to find creative solutions to the scenario. By the nature of this workshop, you will master troubleshooting techniques in ClearPass.
