Exam description
This exam tests your knowledge of the features, benefits, and functions of Aruba networking components and technologies used in the Aruba Mobile-First architecture. This exam tests your ability to implement and validate a basic secure wired and wireless network with the use of ArubaOS switches, CLI, various technologies, and Aruba Instant Access Points (IAPs). This exam also tests your ability to manage and monitor the network with AirWave.

Ideal candidate for this exam
Typical candidate is a technical professional who has at least six months experience with small to medium enterprise level network deployments. The candidate also demonstrates knowledge of wired technologies used in edge and simple core environments, and fundamental knowledge of wireless technologies; 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, basic RF interactions and issues, and basic wireless security methods.

Complete the training and review all course materials and documents before you take the exam.
Exam items are based on expected knowledge acquired from job experience, an expected level of industry standard knowledge, or other prerequisites (events, supplemental materials, etc.).
Successful completion of the course alone does not ensure you will pass the exam.
