VMware NSX ICM

The VMware NSX course is a comprehensive program designed for network and security professionals to learn how to install, configure, and manage VMware NSX environments. This training covers the core components of the NSX platform, including the architecture, logical switching, logical routing, bridging, and firewalls, as well as advanced features such as threat prevention, services, and user and role management.

Key Learning Objectives and Outcomes

Understand the VMware Virtual Cloud Network vision and NSX product portfolio, including key features, use cases, and benefits.

Learn NSX architecture and components, along with the functions of management, control, data, and consumption planes.

Deploy and navigate NSX Manager nodes, configure transport nodes, and verify their status and connectivity.

Configure and manage logical switching, including understanding Geneve encapsulation, segment profiles, and handle L2 unicast packet flow.

Setup logical routing using Tier-0 and Tier-1 gateways, configure routing protocols like BGP and OSPF, and understand the two-tier routing architecture.

Implement NSX bridging to connect virtual and physical workloads, and understand when to use bridging versus routing.

Configure NSX Distributed and Gateway Firewalls to enforce micro-segmentation and Zero-Trust security models.

Deploy and configure NSX Advanced Threat Prevention, including IDS/IPS, Malware Prevention, and Network Detection
