    CCNP 3560E or 3750E or 4948

    Hey - thanks for your detailed reply. I am way below the level of the Nexus line at the moment, I just passed my CCENT this week and currently studying now for the ICND2 then I am onwards to the CCNP R&S.

    CCNP 3560E or 3750E or 4948

    Interesting that you mention VIRL I've been keeping my eye on it for a while but it seemed to get mixed reviews. The problem for me with real gear is IOS 15 and the "new" licensing model, it's near impossible now to run the latest / greatest at home without spending a small fortune. I am...

    Hi guys I'm slowly building up a solid lab for the CCNP, I know I could virtualise to some extent and / or run GNS3 but I want real gear for the following additional reasons: 1. I have a VMware lab and would like something that doubles study and performance 2. I want gigabit can I use...

    VMware NSX

    I am extremely interested in VMware NSX and SDN but what I would like to know is does anyone have any solid experience with using it in production? I'm not talking about a slice of its components but I am talking a full scale NSX SDN deployment, DLR, DFW, ESG, Controllers - the full works...

    10GigE NIC Recommedations

    I've been looking at the Mellanox ConnectX-3 cards also, they are actually not badly priced now compared to when I last looked!! Must admit I am tempted. Broad comment but I'm assuming QSFP to SFP breakout cables are supported as well?

    Sorry - yes that's right. I did contact them and they just said it should work but it doesn't, just wondering has anyone else on here tried it and is it working for them? I upgraded from 5.5 to 6.0 and used the exact build that the download link in VMUG offers for vSphere 6.

    I know it lists it as that is why I decided to purchase the sub. About 1-2 weeks ago max.

    I have 3 of these and use Brocade SFPs, they work flawlessly I am really happy with them and the combined cost of 3 x Brocade 1020's plus the SFPs was pretty good. I bought a job lot of 4 x Brocade 10GE SFPs for about $90.

    Hi all I am wondering if this has the full vSphere 6 licensing available now? I purchased a subscription myself and can license vCenter Server 6 but cannot license vSphere ESXi 6, the included key with "VMware vSphere with Operations Management Enterprise Plus" only seems to work with 5.5! Has...

    Help with purchase for home lab

    Hi all I am hoping to get a concensus vote on how to spend my hard earned, I am in the UK and looking to spend a total of $1492.00 (£1000) on switch(es) in order to build a reasonably modern lab in order to advance skills and provide high performance to my ESXi environment. What would you...

    VMUG Advantage EVALExperience

    Ok I see thanks for the clarification. I am currently running both a 5.5 and 6.0 lab at home (blame legacy software on the 5.5 deployment) - the 5.5 lab has just got NSX installed (trial) which I am really excited about, took a lot of emails to / from our VMware contact, so I will be using that...

    I was wondering this too around 5.5, if I purchase licenses now I get 5.5 and then 6.0 is released do you get to retain the 5.5 licenses until the end of their annual term AND receive 6.0 licenses? If not there is little point in buying now.

    Hi all I am ready to pull the purchasing trigger on this subscription but do you receive vSphere 6 license keys yet or is it still 5.5? It is a shame that they do not include NSX licenses. :D Thanks
