Network+ Labs

---

Hey everyone,

I did a search for the answer but was unable to find anything.

What I would like to know is: what are the goals for the vlab in Network+? I love this feature by the way. Am I correct in the understanding that this is simply a sandbox for us to play in?

For example, I went in after the "install and configure the following networking services/applications" episode, and was able to get the 2 client computers to configure automatically through the DHCP server I set up. Additionally, I was successful in having the DHCP give out the DNS server IP (which the clients seemed happy with).

The default gateway I also assume is non existent in the sandbox environment.

When I finished the above goals, does it matter when I exit if I select 'cancel' or 'mark it complete'?

Thanks,

I appreciate your patience with my questions. I am motivated and want to make sure I am not missing anything.

@James,

You're correct, the sandbox is there for you to experiment and try things. We also do not allow for internet access; we don't want anyone deciding they will try and do , let's say bitcoin mining, from our solution.

So it doesn't really matter if you cancel or mark complete.

We're introducing a new solution soon that will have step-by-steps, etc to mark progress. At that point, it may matter if you want to keep track of it or if the lab involves multiple steps that you want to save and come back to later.

@Ronnie-Wong Thanks.

I really appreciate the labs. They are a huge part of my hands-on-learning-requirement.

You guys are great by the way- thank you for all that you're doing.
