This course is approximately 50% lecture and 50% hands-on lab exercises.</p></div><div id="course-pills-2"><h4>Introduction to Aruba Switching</h4><ul><li>Switches overview</li><li>Architectures</li></ul><h4>NetEdit</h4><ul><li>Overview</li><li>Centralized configuration</li><li>Switch groups/templates</li><li>AOS-CX mobile App</li></ul><h4>Network Analytics Engine (NAE)</h4><ul><li>Overview</li><li>Configuration</li><li>Core NAE feature lab</li><li>sflow, local mirror, remote mirror</li></ul><h4>VSX</h4><ul><li>VSF vs. VSX: access and Agg/core design</li><li>Stacking review</li><li>VSF and uni/multi packet forwarding</li><li>Stack fragments / split brain</li><li>VSX Overview: roles, control, data, management planes</li><li>VSX components (ISL, Keepalive, VSX LAG, Active Gateway, Active-Forwarding, Link Delay)</li><li>Split Brain scenario</li><li>Upstream Connectively Options (ROP single VRF, SVIs with multiple VRF, VSX Lag SVIs with multiple VRFs)</li><li>Upstream/Downstream unicast traffic flow (South-North and North-South)</li><li>VSX Configuration: VSX and Active Gateway</li><li>VSX firmware updates</li></ul><h4>ACLs</h4><ul><li>Overview: types, components</li><li>MAC ACL, Standard ACL, Extended ACL,</li><li>Classifier-based Policies</li><li>Configuration: wildcard bits, logging, pacl, vacl, racl</li></ul><h4>Advanced OSPF</h4><ul><li>Review basic OSPF</li><li>Multi area: setup and aggregation</li><li>Area-Types Stub, Totally Stub, NSSA, Totally NSSA</li><li>External routes</li><li>OSPF tuning: costs, bfd, gr, auth, vrrp, virt link</li></ul><h4>BGP</h4><ul><li>Overview: i/e bgp, as numbers</li><li>Best path selection</li><li>Configuration: route announcement</li><li>Route filtering to prevent transit as</li></ul><h4>IGMP</h4><ul><li>Overview</li><li>Querier</li><li>Snooping</li><li>Unknown multicasts</li></ul><h4>Multicast Routing: PIM</h4><ul><li>Overview</li><li>PIM DM</li></ul><h4>802.1X Authentication</h4><ul><li>Overview: roles, requirements, coa, accounting</li><li>Dynamic port configuration: avp, acl, qos, VLAN</li><li>Port-based vs. user-based: examples</li><li>Radius service tracking, critical VLAN</li></ul><h4>MAC Authentication</h4><ul><li>Overview: Use cases</li><li>Radius-based MAC Auth</li></ul><h4>Dynamic Segmentation</h4><ul><li>Leverage dynamic segmentation features</li><li>Configure tunneled-node on AOS-CX switches</li><li>Describe when and how to configure PAPI enhanced security, high availability, and fallback switching for tunneled-node</li></ul><h4>Quality of Service</h4><ul><li>Overview</li><li>VoQ (Virtual Output Queue)</li><li>QOS: queueing, QOS marks, dot1p, dscp</li><li>Trust levels</li><li>QOS configuration: port, VLAN, policies</li><li>Interaction with user roles</li><li>Queue configuration</li><li>Rate limiters</li><li>LLDP-MED</li></ul><h4>Additional Routing Technologies</h4><ul><li>VRF - Management VRF</li><li>PBR</li><li>MDNS</li><li>PIM SM</li></ul><h4>Capitve Portal Authentication</h4><ul><li>Overview of guest solutions</li><li>Built-in web auth</li><li>ClearPass redirect with CPPM</li></ul></div>

<p>Stress continues to have a major impact in organisations. According to HSE research, the total number of working days lost due to this condition last year was 9.9 million days with stress accounting for 43% of all working days lost due to ill health. Despite this huge impact, CIPD research shows that many organisations are failing to take adequate steps to proactively identify and reduce stress in the workplace and many struggle to recognise and support staff who are already suffering from stress-related symptoms.</p>
<p>This programme has therefore been designed to help HR professionals identify how they can best support their organisation in preventing, reducing and managing stress. It recognises the role that HR can play in helping develop proactive strategies to reduce incidents of work-related stress as well as helping individuals to cope with or recover from stressful situations. It also recognises the important role that HR has in equipping managers with the necessary knowledge, skills and confidence to manage stress within their team appropriately. The workshop provides participants with a wealth of ideas, strategies and tools to use within their organisations. It draws on current research, best practice guidance, lessons from case law and learning from a wide range of organisations in the form of case studies.</p><ul><li>UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF STRESS AT WORK AND THE CAUSES OF WORK-RELATED STRESS</li><li>UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS OF PROACTIVELY MANAGING STRESS, INCLUDING MINIMISING LEGAL RISK</li><li>KNOW HOW HR CAN BEST SUPPORT THE ORGANISATION AS A WHOLE IN MANAGING STRESS AND, IN PARTICULAR, HOW TO SUPPORT MANAGERS PREVENT AND RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO STRESS WITHIN THEIR TEAM</li><li>HAVE LEARNT HOW OTHER ORGANISATIONS TACKLE STRESS AND THE RANGE OF SUPPORT AND WIDER TOOLS AND INITIATIVES AVAILABLE</li><li>HAVE REVIEWED HOW THEIR ORGANISATION PREVENTS AND MANAGES STRESS AND HAVE IDENTIFIED AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT</li></ul><section>

<h2>Leadership - Turning Values Into Action: In-House</h2><p>Leadership implies followership. And that means trust. Because who's going to follow a leader they don't trust?</p><p>This programme takes a values-driven approach to leadership. It gets current and aspiring leaders to hold up the mirror to themselves and to see their reflections as leaders of people. It asks them whether what they see justifies their view of themselves as leaders. It helps them understand just what it takes to be an effective leader.</p><p>And it does so in a highly practical, constructive manner. It helps the participants to truly understand the core skills of effective leadership. It focuses on the difference between leadership and management, defining what high performing teams do and how they do it. It helps people to see their teams from different perspectives, allowing them to adapt their styles to maximise team outputs. And it explores concepts such as emotional intelligence, authentic leadership and the RAIV approach (relationships-achievement-independence-vocation) to help explore underlying values and use them to drive effective leadership. Because what worth do our values have unless we put them into practice?</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><ul><li>Appreciate the key skills a leader needs to be effective</li><li>Understand what the organisation expects of you as a leader</li><li>Recognise your leadership style and the impact it has on others</li><li>Consider your role models - who inspires you?</li><li>See leadership from the &amp;'followers' perspective - how do you like to be led?</li><li>Discover what holds you back - limiting beliefs</li><li>Examine your core values - do they support your ambition?</li><li>Explore the concept of Emotional Intelligence - how do we manage ourselves?</li><li>Discover how to lead through change</li><li>Explore the concept of &amp;'Authentic Leadership' - consider how it can work for you</li><li>Practice some of the skills essential to motivating and influencing for success</li><li>Use the RAIV approach to generating enthusiasm and commitment</li><li>Plan how best to &amp;'walk the leadership talk' - in your role, in your organisation</li></ul><p>Above all, this workshop will help you put theory into practice, values into actions, in a mature, considered, effective way.</p><section>
