Why this program matters

  • Without expert mastery of Spanning-Tree and EAPS, a single fiber cut can trigger 30 to 90 seconds of downtime across the entire production VLAN, generating up to 180,000 euros in losses per hour in a banking data center.

  • BPDU attacks or inconsistent configurations multiply the risks of persistent loops and blackholing, resulting in reported security incidents in 22% of network audits.

  • Technical debt builds from uncontrolled convergence times, raising support costs by 35% and delaying cloud migrations by several quarters.

Extreme Networks Spanning-Tree EAPS training objectives

  • Administer Spanning-Tree instances on ExtremeXOS switches in production
  • Configure EAPS for rapid protection of Ethernet rings
  • Deploy loop-free multi-path redundant topologies
  • Secure redundancy mechanisms against L2 attacks
  • Optimize convergence times in case of fiber or port failure
  • Monitor protection status via ExtremeCloud IQ
  • Troubleshoot partial or total failure scenarios

Extreme Networks Spanning-Tree EAPS curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Advanced Spanning-Tree: analysis and configuration (ExtremeXOS, MSTP, edge safeguards)

Participants study MSTP and PVST+ variants on ExtremeXOS, apply edge protection and root-guard commands during hands-on labs on stacked chassis, then analyze timers and priorities to minimize interruptions, delivering a validated convergence diagram in under 2 seconds.

Module 2 : EAPS and protected rings: deployment and tuning (Switch Engine, master controller)

The day focuses on configuring EAPS with master and slave domains, synchronizing control VLANs and verifying failover counters, complemented by fiber-cut labs and feedback from 40 km campus rings, resulting in a reproducible configuration plan.

Module 3 : Multi-path redundancy and Fabric Connect: integration (SPB, LAG, MLAG)

Learners deploy LAG and MLAG aggregates alongside EAPS, integrate Fabric Connect links to extend redundancy to the datacenter, test simultaneous loss of two links and produce a resilience matrix deliverable with measured recovery times.

Module 4 : Securing and monitoring protections (ExtremeControl, ExtremeAnalytics)

The session covers adding NAC controls to block illegitimate BPDUs, setting up alerts via ExtremeAnalytics on STP and EAPS instabilities, as well as L2 attack simulations, delivering a supervision dashboard ready for the production team.

Module 5 : Troubleshooting and continuous optimization: complete cases (logs, scripts, ExtremeCloud IQ)

Trainees resolve reconstructed incidents of failed convergence, automate checks with Python scripts and ExtremeCloud IQ, compare SLAs before and after and submit an audit report with quantified recommendations for their own infrastructure.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Extreme Networks Spanning-Tree EAPS training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
