Why this program matters

  • Without mastery of VLANs, tagging, and Extreme switching, teams expose the company to recurring network outages that can cost more than 5 000 euros per hour of downtime.

  • Segmentation errors drive security incidents and data breaches with GDPR fines that can reach 4 % of revenue.

  • Technical debt builds fast, extending troubleshooting times by 40 % and raising maintenance costs by 25 % per year.

  • Finally, the lack of internal skills delays transformation projects and weakens the continuity of critical operations.

Extreme Networks VLAN Tagging Switching training objectives

  • Administer VLANs and 802.1Q tagging on ExtremeXOS switches
  • Configure advanced switching and traffic policies in production
  • Secure traffic flows with ExtremeControl and segment isolation
  • Optimize performance and redundancy of Extreme infrastructures
  • Monitor switches via ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeAnalytics
  • Troubleshoot connectivity and tagging issues in real environments

Program

Extreme Networks VLAN Tagging Switching curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days

Module 1 : VLANs and tagging: creation and propagation on ExtremeXOS (Switch Engine, CLI, production scenarios)

Participants deploy static and dynamic VLANs, apply 802.1Q tagging, and configure trunks on ExtremeXOS switches. They perform practical propagation exercises, verify connectivity, and deliver a functional map of network segments.

Module 2 : Advanced switching: aggregation, QoS and redundancy (Fabric Connect, VOSS, business use cases)

Learners configure high-availability switching mechanisms, implement link aggregation and QoS policies, test resilience on Extreme switching platforms, and produce an optimized production configuration guide.

Module 3 : Security and access control: ExtremeControl and isolation (NAC, dynamic policies, audits)

Trainees integrate ExtremeControl for authentication and dynamic tagging, apply isolation rules, analyze flows with ExtremeAnalytics, validate anomaly detection scenarios, and submit a compliance report.

Module 4 : Monitoring and troubleshooting: ExtremeCloud IQ and incident resolution (tools, logs, field feedback)

Participants monitor switches from ExtremeCloud IQ, run advanced diagnostics, correct tagging or switching faults, analyze real enterprise cases, and deliver an operational maintenance plan.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Extreme Networks VLAN Tagging Switching 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.
