This lab simulates a real-world enterprise network upgrade involving the replacement and configuration of core switches, port migration, ACL deployment, and rollback planning. So far I have two options. The wiring rack has 3810M switches as well and I will be putting in a QSFP module for faster fiber connection. So my question is, what would your recommendations be for replacing the 3810's. also, i second the question above. is this for a business? all your. Should I shut down all VMs as best practice or it is not required? Will the VMs running during the upgrade procedure freeze & pickup automatically from where they left off once online or they can go corrupt.
