This course focuses on configuring and troubleshooting a VMware NSX® deployment. This course presents NSX as a part of the software-defined data Centre. You will learn how to use logical switching in NSX to virtualize your switching environment and how to use gateway services, firewall configurations, and security services to help secure and optimize your NSX environment. In addition, you will be presented with various types of technical problems that you will learn how to identify and solve through a systematic process. You will also be introduced to several operational, management, and troubleshooting tools.
