Not a bad week at all. Not at consistent as previous weeks and I’m a bit under hours but I just want to start this by emphasizing how useful the FDN Hands on Labs (HOL) are. I spent a good portion of the week going through the SD-WAN HOL. Need I repeat from last week’s blog post that the HOL guide is over 200 pages long? It’s 7 labs that cover everything from simple hub-and-spoke SD-WAN from scratch with Jinja Orchestrator to ADVPN 2.0 and ICMP embedded SLAs.
Quick update on lab costs as well – last month we got close to $50 after the FGT licensing free trials expired and before I got a chance to apply the eval licenses. This month we’re looking at something closer to $40.
No other big updates other than starting the Authentication and User Access Phase (Phase 4) today and a bit of trouble getting access the FortiAuthenticator VM in my lab. Hoping to figure that out tomorrow.
