Title: Get certified on Arista!
Post by: NetworkGroover on December 14, 2015, 02:59:22 PM
 :wtf:

An associate level certification on Arista is out!  Go look for it on Pearson Vue ;)

Be forewarned - this is not a "learn basic networking" certification.  This is Arista-specific.  It's assumed you already have a basic knowledge of networking, from what I hear.

Professional and Expert level certifications are in the works!

If you take it - let me know your feedback.  8)

No official study guides that I'm aware of, no.  Just the ACE program/class, config guide, etc.

Passed.  Kind of an interesting exam.  VERY Arista-specific (Like probably close to 100%) - similar to Brocade and their BCNE exam. Not going to be friendly to those who don't actively work with Arista gear or haven't taken the training program.

Naahhhhh I kinda like the obscurity and how it makes me look like a useless tool.  I can claim stupidity at any moment.  :problem?:

EDIT - Actually, there ya go.

Nahhhh it's not nearly that developed yet.  I can tell you the content is pretty much all covered in the training program.  It's kind of wide and shallow.  If you know about Aboot, VMTracer, MLAG, a little VXLAN, scripting, TapAgg, and worked with the gear for a bit you'll be fine.
