This is really very usefull information , collocated in one place..

 

I have three more question  on top of this.

 

1) Do you have topology detail /Network diagram as per new patter.

 

2) Can we prepared the simulation in Hyper-V , supported in Window 10

 

3) Can you also highlight the minimum hardware requirement of the laptop, in order to make home made lab in order to practice it..

 

Best Regards

Anil Singh
