Course Description

In this challenge, you will configure standard virtual switches to enable network connectivity. First, you will remove the default virtual machine port group from an existing switch, and then you will create a new virtual switch that has a virtual machine port group. Next, you will add an additional virtual machine port group to the switch, and then you will modify the active and standby network interface cards (NICs) for a single port group. Finally, you will create a new switch that has a VMkernel port configured for VMware vSphere; vMotion. Note: Once you begin a challenge you will not be able to pause, save, or return to your progress. Please ensure you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge before you start.
