Typical candidates for this course are Aruba implementation expert and experiences Network Architects who will design and plan complex multi-site networks based on Aruba wired and wireless products and solutions.
The recommended prerequisite is the Aruba Certified Design Professional (ACDP) V1 certification. Participants should understand basic networking technologies and design concepts as presented in the ACDP certification exam. Participants should have some experience designing campus networks and using tools like RF Plan and IRIS before attending this course.
The HPE6-A49 ACDX 8 Written Exam is required to be passed before the practical exam. Once the written is passed, you will only have 18 months to pass the ACDX 8 Practical Exam. Candidates who do not pass the ACDX 8 Practical Exam within 18 months will have to wait for a new version to be released. HPE recommends that you register for the ACDX 8 Practical Exam within 12 months of passing the written exam to ensure that you pass in the allotted 18-month timeframe.
