Moving along with our series of esxcfg & VCDX related series of posts, we come to esxcfg-vswitch. The example we’ll work with here has us setting up a new virtual switch, adding an uplink NIC, adding a port group with VLAN 393, and changing the MTU. Ready? Here we go:
Add the vSwitch: [...]
As a plethora of my last posts suggest, I am spinning up study towards my VCDX. My first stop on that journey will be with the Enterprise Admin exam. Along the way I hope to share bits that I learn, review, and otherwise enjoy about the process. Today that is figuring out all manner of [...]
We may have an impromptu call between now and then, but I am in the midst of getting some good things prepared for the next one, like a conference platform that works… mostly. That said, if you have any specific topics you would like covered during the next session, drop a line in the comments [...]

After logging into the host via SSH, and getting to root, this can be done with [...]
Following up on the interest from our last post, Tom Howarth and I will be running the first of what should become a series of VCDX Enterprise Admin Brown Bag sessions. The topic this week will be the CLI.
We’re going to give this a shot with DimDim, and can accept a total of 25 folks. [...]
Some folks in the community have expressed an interest in expanding my quazi regular VCP brown bags into some additional brown bags to support those seeking their VCDX, starting with the Enterprise Admin exam. This post then, is to serve two functions:
1) Is there interest? – Basically, If I built it, would y’all come?
2) Content [...]
