I find that many are challenged with understanding basic networking when it comes to building their home labs. I use VMware vSphere in my home lab environment. In the video we walk through understanding the basic constructs of VMware vSphere networking, VLANs, the vSphere standard switch, and networking with nested ESXi virtualization.
