vSphere 6.5 Foundations: Configure vSphere Networking
This is the third course in our eight course vSphere 6.5 Foundations series. This course will teach you the foundations of vSphere networking as well as how to configure vSphere standard switches (vSS) and vSphere Distributed Switches (vDS).
What you'll learn
The vSphere virtual network is the virtual version of the traditional physical network. This course, vSphere 6.5 Foundations: Configure vSphere Networking, you'll first explore how the vSphere virtual network is the virtual network that connects all virtual machines together. Next, you'll discover how the vSphere virtual network connects those virtual machines to the physical network. Finally, you'll learn how VMware administrators need to know how to add, remove, and configure vSphere virtual switches, port groups, virtual ports, uplinks, policies, and capabilities in order to be able to successfully administer any VMware vSphere virtual infrastructure. By the end of the course you'll know everything you need to know for configuring vSphere networking for the vSphere Foundations exam
