So, to help reinforce the concepts that we've covered in this skill and in
these videos,
here is the customer challenge I'd like you to take on as part of the
validation of what
we've learned.
So, here's the scenario.
The customer has this tier 0 gateway, gateway 5, connected to this external
segment, and
they also have verified basic connectivity to the IP address of the external
router at
1090 0.1.
So, no problem with that connectivity there.
They also configured a default route that looks something like this for IPv4
that's using
that IP address as the next top. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
that IP address as the next top.
However, what's not going well for them is that when they go down to their VMs
like VM1
here or VM2, when they try to ping that IP address at 1090 0.1, that ping is
unsuccessful,
meaning there's no response back here at the client, so they don't know exactly
what
went wrong.
And that's where you and I come into play.
They've asked us to come and help them identify what is the problem.
So, here's what I'd like you to do.
I'd like you to take a moment and think about what could be the issues
preventing a successful WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
preventing a successful
ping, for example, from VM1 to that IP address on that external router.
And then after you've taken a moment to list several things that could be
possibly wrong,
I'd then like you to offer what could we do to fix those problems.
So, if it's an issue with a default gateway, for example, on a VM, the solution
would be
train the VMs to go ahead and have a correct default gateway.
So, I'd like you to take some time and maybe identify three or four potential
problems,
and then the three or four potential solutions based on those problems you've
predicted.
So, have some fun with this exercise. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So, have some fun with this exercise.
If you need to refer back to any of the previous videos, feel free to do that.
And then when you've taken a moment or two to work through this exercise, join
me in
the next video and we'll compare notes.
