Description

Virtual networking within ESXi is a key area for every vSphere administrator to understand. Designing and building virtual networks with ESXi and vCenter Server bears some similarities to designing and building physical networks, but there are enough significant differences that an overview of components and terminology is warranted. When you create virtual networks, you have two options available; you can choose a virtual standard switch or a virtual distributed switch.
This course defines the various components involved in a virtual network as well as the factors that affect the design of a virtual network. The course discusses the differences between a virtual standard switch and a virtual distributed switch as well as their features and the advantages of using one over the other.
