What you'll learn:
- How the VSS and VDS work in vSphere 7.0+
- How to configure both VSS and VDS from scratch
- Understand how traffic flows between Port Groups
- Learn how to mirror packets from individual Virtual Machines, as well as configure advanced policies
- How to migrate from VSS to VDS with little to no downtime
Need to learn about vSphere networking, but don't want to read documentation all day? I can help!
A lot of people learn about vSphere, but most forget to learn about the virtual switches - Virtual Standard Switch, and the Virtual Distributed Switch (VSS and VDS). Whether you're setting up a lab at home, or you're trying to manage a production vSphere environment, this course will prepare you!I take a different approach than most courses, often starting with a slide or two, and then diving lab demonstrations.
Here's what some of my 7,000+ students are saying about my VMware courses:
"One of the Best courses I took on Udemy"
"The course is amazing, I followed everything step-by-step in my home lab and everything worked like magic"
My name is Mike, and people know me as the VMware (and NSX) guy. I’ve got years of experience with both Cisco and VMware technologies, including two CCIE certifications, and most importantly, I have struggled through learning this stuff - so I know exactly how to make you a pro! I have taught this same curriculum to many students around the world, and I've now created this course based on that curriculum just for Udemy!
In this course we'll start with the basics of VSS vs. VDS, talk about how to implement them, and most importantly - actually configure both virtual switches!We'll modify uplinks, set load balancing methods, and even configure Network I/OControl for system traffic (such as vMotion), as well as individual Virtual Machines.
