The CK Daily – October Adventures
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! It’s hard to believe we have already made it to October! This is always such a magical month as it seems like this is when Fall truly begins. The cool mornings are such a relief from the hot and muggy Summer weather, football is in full swing, and the rich and delicious Fall foods start getting made!
I have a lot to look forward to this month as my family does an annual vacation to Hilton Head during the month of October. It’s such a great time of year to be there since the crowds are light and the weather is normally fantastic! I’ve been in a busy and stressful season of life lately so the chance to get away and hopefully recharge the batteries a little bit sounds amazing!
Towards the end of October, I’ll be heading out on a camping trip that will take us up to North Georgia for one night and then to Bryson City, NC for two nights. It should be peak leaf week so really hoping to get in some fun hikes and see some stunning views of the Great Smoky Mountains!
Excited for the month ahead!

Learning Center Article – What Is a VLAN?
As you get deeper into networking, you’ll learn about additional tools and techniques that grant you more freedom and flexibility. As networks grow in capacity and complexity, freedom and flexibility become invaluable.
On that journey, one of your most valuable tools is the VLAN. It’s a way to group devices in a network pretty much however you want, giving you more control over the flow of information across your whole network.
