@Harl-Hockeborn,

the episode has been updated with the right notes now for this episode.

I've re-watched the sections; the area I am struggling the most with on the practice test is Explaining the types and purposes of audits and assessments. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@Shannon-Wright,
There are hardware limitation based on the backplane of the switch model itself--(switching capacity). So, for example...the C9200L-24T-4G and C9200L-24P-4G have a 56Gbps back plane with port forwarding rates of ~41.5 Mbps. This ranges to the models C9200L-48PXG-4X and C9200L-48PXG-2Y that have 392 Gbps and 340 Gbps backplanes, respectively and each port can do from 292 Mbps and 252 Mbps, respectively as well.

So way to increase to the data sheet specification is for you to not set policies or ACLs, etc. on these switches...in other words reduce the switches need to not use the control plane as much as you can...then you're unlimited to the point of the data specifications of the hardware itself.

Hi @wes-bryan !

Awesome! What would be the difference between the AZ800 and the AZ104? Would one be a prerequisite over the other?

Thank you!

@Nnanna-Nwoke Are you still looking for a study partner?

Thanks Ronnie!

Could you please respond to my message. Thank you

We don't really know what AWS is doing behind the scenes for our NAT - it just works! For companies that do want to precisely control how the NAT functions, AWS does offer various solutions for NAT. Most customers, however, LOVE the fact that they do not have to worry about the configuration of Network Address Translation.

It sounds like you might be interested in Azure Role Based Access Control. Here is the documentation for this feature - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/

@Jeff-Gortney,

Sounds like a great idea. You have to make decisions for dividing up your LUN across your SAN. Do you need larger and fewer LUNs or smaller and more LUNs.

Take a look at VMWare's documentation on this decision and some good considersations: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-2C8FAE1F-98F7-4E0B-AEA0-83A4FF16A252.html

I've been a long time ESXi user, which is fine but with a SAN, to fully take advantage of the SAN you may also want to consider vSphere to manage ESXi to the fullest capabilities.

Congrats on you passing the Linux+!

I signed up for a continuing edu course with a local university that will be a month long. I still plan on using ITPro to firm up concepts, as well as a Mcgraw-Hill book.

Thank you @Ronnie-Wong
I have just sent my assignments to the email address provided. I don't believe that email is any longer attached to the instructions in the course materials. I have looked through them several times and I couldn't find one. I assume the current instructions are provided in the materials you can download as part of the course.
Kind regards,
Daniela
