VMware vSphere is everywhere. In order to stay relevant, you must understand vSphere. Perhaps you’re also preparing to take the VMware Certified Professional Datacenter Virtualization (VCP-DCV) exam. In this series of courses, Rick Crisci, a VMware Certified Instructor, walks you through over 50 real-world demos in a vSphere 7 environment using the HTML5 vSphere Client. This course focuses specifically on vSphere networking. Rick reviews the foundations of virtual networking, then goes into standard switches, distributed switches, distributed port groups, and how to integrate vSphere 7 with NSX-T 3.0. He shows you how to configure security settings, NIC teaming and failover policies, and traffic shaping for distributed port groups. Rick steps through migrating VMs to a vSphere 7 distributed switch and verifying your network configuration. He concludes with detailed looks at Network IO, private VLANs, port mirroring, and netflow.

In this series of courses, Rick Crisci, a VMware Certified Instructor, walks you through over 50 real-world demos in a vSphere 7 environment using the HTML5 vSphere Client. This course focuses specifically on the process of updating and upgrading your vSphere 7 software. As Rick explains, the best way to learn about updating the software is to build your own home lab and carry out installations and upgrades. Rick shows how to use the update planner to keep your updates in priority order. He also shares some of the specifications from his own home lab for you to try out. He then demos upgrading processes for VMware tools, virtual hardware, ESXi, and the vCenter Server Appliance Note: This course was created by Rick Crisci.
