vSphere 8: Configuring and Managing vSphere Networking
This course teaches you how to configure and manage vSphere networking from standard switches to distributed switches, and how to configure advanced vSphere networking features and policies. Learn how to configure vSphere networking like a pro.
What you'll learn
VMware vSphere powers the majority of the on-premises datacenters in the world today, and vSphere administrators are highly sought-after in the job market. The VMware Certified Professional (or VCP) is the most popular virtualization certification in the world. In this course, vSphere 8: Configuring and Managing vSphere Networking, you’ll learn all about the vSphere 8 virtual network. First, you'll explore how to configure the vSphere standard switch. Next, you'll delve into deploying and configuring the more advanced vSphere distributed switch. Finally, you'll discover how to configure vSphere networking features, such as load balancing, failover, traffic shaping, and more. By the end of this course, you'll know everything you need to know about configuring and managing vSphere networking.
