Designing HPE Aruba Campus Access Solutions 23.312 (DCAS)

 Welcome to this week's class (DCAS)


Be sure you have downloaded the course learner guide as per the instructions you received in an email from HPE last week.  Check your email history, spam folder, etc... for the keyword "OnSecure" if you cannot find the email.  You only have 10 days to print this learner guide (PDF or paper).
      • in this spreadsheet, you will find the links for:
        • Lab guide (Scenario - Lab 1)
        • Lab guide (full guide, use after you complete Lab 1)
        • Lab worksheet (within, record your answers for most lab questions)

        Class Preparation Notes

      • Although there is a remote lab, you may not need to use it for this class, you can set up the required software on your own computer. You will need:
      • IRIS:
        • as a partner or employee you should already have this, if not:
          • your company domain name should be whitelisted for IRIS
          • this means you can go to www.intangi.com/register.php, register and login using your own partner email address, then download/install iris.
          • if your partner company is not registered with iris, one time only, a representative of your company must email irisaccess@hpe.com giving them your:
            • partner name
            • partner country
            • partner source account id (aka: location id)
        • alternatively use the copy installed in the remote lab
        • after you login to Intangi, visit their video tutorial site, there is some very good training available to augment the instructions provided to you in the lab guide
          • recommended video watch list order
            • 1: Get to Know Iris
            • 2: Configure a Product
            • 3: Connecting Products
            • 4: Design groups
            • 5: Connection dialog
            • 6: Topology & Mapping
            • the rest of them
        • Central Floor Plan
          • you have been provided an account during the lab access time period
          • you can use your own account, otherwise 90 day evaluation accounts are available

      Tips on how to google our site for documentation

        • googling for AOS-Switch related topics
          • site:hpe.com 16.09 -inurl:pdf -inurl:cx "dhcp-snooping"
        • googling for AOS-CX related topics
          • site:arubanetworks.com -inurl:pdf inurl:AOS-CX inurl:10\.11 "dhcp-snooping"
        • googling for Aruba Central related topics
          • site:arubanetworks.com inurl:latest "802.11.k"
        • search option notes:
          • site:x only searched that domain
          • -inurl:x don't report links with this text in the URL
          • inurl:x only report on links with text
            • (ideal for finding specific version documentation)
