Today in class, we continued working on the pre-lab for the networking lab. Then we started working on the required lab for the networking lab. Thanks to Jose’s help, I was able to move a bit further in the lab when I was stuck on how to get pfSense to run at first. I had to shut down the virtual machine to get VirtualBox to work correctly. Tomorrow is tech article presentations, and continue working on network lab assignments.
Today I learned more about networking and I started the Network Building Block lab. I got stuck at the configuration of pfSense, I asked for help and sorted it out. Now I have all three VMs in my LAN set up, and tomorrow I will test the network.
Most of the day was working on the networking lab. I finished up the prelab and was finally able to move onto the actual lab. For today, that mostly involved setting up the pfSense Virtual Machine (VM). Which unfortunately is extremely temperamental so I had to go in and modify a bunch of settings to make sure it was just right. Like my original VM was giving me error messages because on the directions it said to set the VM to Linux and Other Linux when in actuality pfSense is BSD and FreeBSD. Oh well….that’s part of learning. Hopefully I’m past the hard part of the lab and its at least smoother sailing from here on out.
September 15, 2026: The majority of today’s class was working on the Networking pre-lab and project. It was interesting to see how VMs can connect together on the same network. The challenging part was getting everything set up.
Posted 3 jobs. It is amazing what some jobs are asking for in an entry-level position. Please be careful when looking at jobs.
