Description

Are you looking for NSX Training? Do you want to learn from an experienced trainer who makes complex concepts simple and easy to understand?

I am a VMware Certified Instructor who has taught thousands of hours of live training directly for VMware. Most lectures in this course are 5 - 15 minutes long. A few deeper topics are slightly longer. This course gives you a complete understanding of NSX concepts. So join me in becoming an NSX Guru today!

VMware NSX is the most disruptive network technology in recent memory. Demand for employees who understand NSX will continue to grow as the product reaches maturity. This course is designed to help you understand all of the concepts behind NSX. We'll start at the very beginning, and learn basic networking. If you are a vSphere Administrator with a limited networking background this will be a huge help.

We'll then learn about the networking tools included with vSphere Enterprise Plus, including Standard and Distributed virtual switches. Basic concepts such as port groups and VMkernel ports will be explained in a clear and simple manner. We'll also look deeper into the feature set, covering topics like Private VLANs, Port Mirroring, and Network I/O Control.

NSX will be covered in a few different sections. First we'll learn the basics about NSX objects, and differentiate the Management, Control, and Data Planes. From there we'll dig deep into switching and routing functions within NSX. We'll also cover security, and how NSX can provide microsegmentation. I'll explain how Service Composer can be used to provide third party integration. And we'll look at Cross-vCenter NSX, which was released with NSX 6.2.

This course will also help you prepare for the VMware VCP exam. The new VCP-NV 2019 Certification can be achieved by passing the NSX 6.2 exam that this course is based on. In order to take the VCP6-NV exam you will need to complete some course requirements from VMware as well. Be sure to check those out as you prepare to get certified.

Deep dive in to NSX-topic. Very nice. Just one little point, sometimes it tends to be a bit redundant to read out, what is writen on screen entirely. But all in all excelent course.

Good theoretical knowledge provided in this course. Providing course slides, PPT or PDF could have been helpful. is there a practical NSX course are you planning? thank you.

I thought the topics were useful, and the instructor was easy to understand. Also , cleared up a few things about basic networking that were always a bit fuzzy to me.

Overall great walk through on getting to know NSX. I plan on getting my second VCP for NV in the next month or so. I also purchased Rick's NSX-T course which i am going to be starting shortly. This course good how Rick presents the information and with the design layouts and packet walks was very useful. Cant wait to see his other course!

This course is great. Rick is an excellent narrator and instructor. The material is very clear and easy to understand. I found it to be comprehensive as well. It would be good to see a 15 minute chapter towards the end that talks more about how to configure NSX with an existing cloud instance on one of the platforms like AWS, Google, Azure. A short deep dive into that aspect would be great.
