Today we started a Networking lab to create an entire virtual LAN network in VirtualBox. We went over a network diagram of the basic network building block in preparation for the lab, and it helped me understand a lot about how networks work, so I was able to make some nice progress with the lab during lab time. In the final hour we went over the router configuration together, and talked about IP addresses and MAC addresses. I’m excited to continue on this lab this week because it was been very instructive for me, and computer networking is a foundational skill in the professional world I’m interested in, so it’s important for me to learn.
