Before you leave on a road trip, you want a map. And before you build a lab for Firepower, you want a sense of what you're building and why you're building it. Keith reviews what you'll need to build a lab environment, complete with networks, hypervisors and software. The very first step is VMWare's ESXi software (which you can get for free). It gets installed as a Type 1 hypervisor, and from there you can create and emulate an entire network environment. Watch to see the rest of Keith's steps for building your lab environment. 🌐 Download the Free Ultimate Networking Cert Guide: https://blog.cbt.gg/ehex ⬇️ 13-Week Study Plan: CCNA (200-301): https://blog.cbt.gg/kba0 Start learning with CBT Nuggets: • Describe Network Switch Functions and How to Locate Network Devices | https://courses.cbt.gg/8s0
