Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on WGU E025 – Cloud and Network Security Models.
For anyone who has recently passed the E025 OA, I’d really appreciate some advice:
What topics should I focus on the most?
How difficult was the OA compared with the PA?
Were the OA questions mostly scenario-based or definition/knowledge-based?
Were there any areas you wish you had studied more before taking it?
What study materials helped you the most?
Any tips from people who have taken it recently would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I was wondering if anyone could fill in some blanks for me, because I feel like I've found multiple answers to the same question. The AI generated diagram for the first part, is that supposed to have the AI components we want to add? The video in the email showed just turning the existing diagrams into a merged diagram, it never mentions anything about any changes at that point. It's annoying because the instructions, video, what people have said online and what my instructor took three days to respond with are not lining up with each other. If anyone has passed this and can give me an idea what they're wanting, it would be greatly appreciated.

Am I the only one reading this and finding it somewhat ambiguous or poorly written?

B and C1, are fine those 2 are easy,

C2 also fairly straight forward, just make a script that pings the devices and make a ticket for those who don't reply. Except the caveat of all devices within the GNS3 Topology are all replying.

C3 simple enough is just making a ticket for the devices in C2 which are not replying to pings.

C4 is what's really confusing me though. The DNS server settings are exactly what they should be and are un-alterted. additionally telling me to update the ticket? There wasn't one made for the DNS servers. Unless their talking about the C3 ticket, if they are that would mean a DNS server would be unreachable? Right?

I haven't started on C5. due to trying to figure C4 out first.

I could just make bogus information to facilitate these sub tasks and hit the rubric, but how can i be certain the grader will accept this?

Anyone else in the same boat i am, or anyone who has tackled Task 2 and passed have any beneficial information?

Taking the OA in a few days. Any tips/recommendations?

I am trying to figure out how to telnet into the PC's. This is what I get from router 1, anyone have another method they use or am I just totally doing the task wrong?

vyos@vyos:~$ telnet localhost:5032

Server lookup failure: localhost:5032:telnet, Device or resource busy

vyos@vyos:~$

D415 - Software Defined Networking
E010 - Foundations of Programming (Python)

Last 2 classes then I’m graduating. 4 1/2 months left in the term. Hopefully I can do it 🙏

Sometimes the devices that normally show up as misconfigured, show up with the correct dns settings, even after i power down the gns3 and retart it. Im trying to figure out where I can solve this issue. Sorry if this doesnt make sense, Ive worked a 12 hour shift and have spend 2 hours on it both before and after my shift. If someone could help that would be appreciated.

Best resources/tips to pass D415- Software Defined Networking?

Before WGU I purchased a few individual courses from Udemy for my pre-req or work certs. Individual courses were cheaper than the annual, even with their often-discounted memberships.

When I joined WGU, I was in learning heaven! Thousands of courses for free! I completed two additional certs outside of what I needed for my BSCNE/AWS degree.

When I graduated, there was this hole…. 😭

But I just learned that my county library gives me the same Udemy Business access that I had during WGU.

You need a library card and a Google or Microsoft account to sign up.

Type ‘gale’ in the Udemy Business app (gale dot Udemy com) and you’ll be taken to a search box for your library to see if they also have a partnership.

You can’t carry over any course progress from other access you may have had but that’s ok.

Good Luck!

PMP here I come!!

I'm not sure what to expect for the write-up portion of the class. My rough draft of ideas is about 10 pages (single-spaced), and I was wondering if I'm overthinking or overcomplicating the writing. I'm going over the rubric, but I'm not sure if they want a super-detailed explanation of how the topology and AI features will work. Most of the issues I've seen with the class are usually in the topology, but not much in the writing.

Would appreciate it if anyone had any tips and how many pages they wrote just so I can properly grasp the scope.

Thanks!

Failed D413 OA by a hair - On the second attempt, will the questions be the same?

Any tips/recommendations? Taking OA tomorrow

I am having trouble getting the services on DNS2 to restart. I have the script built that successfully restarts the services on DNS1 and 2, but my script tells me that the services on DNS2 are failing to restart.
