This is a great source of knowledge for any newbies or those wishing to gain a better understanding of what goes on behind the scenes with those 1's and 0's. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next one.
These are things I already know, but I watched the entire video anyway. It is extremely well done and I appreciate the information you give and how you present it. I will be passing this video along to some friends who may want to learn some networking basics. I especially enjoy the structured cabling videos and the problem solving that goes with that aspect. But I look forward to more videos in this series also!
Grate Video. But on that switches you forgot the cable coming from the router. so from 8 ports + 8 ports - 2 ports from 1 switche to another switche you need another port for the roter. so is not 14 port avaliable, it will be 13. 2:34
Ah, but I did that on purpose :). When I cover switches in the second chapter I will explain it more, and more so when I discuss IP addressing. Computers are capable of being networked and communicating between themselves without a router present. The router is there to get you out to the internet and usually is the source of the IP addresses you receive, but it doesn't have to be that way. I'll share in the next chapters how I set up my lab for students and get them to build out a LAN before we get to adding the router.
For a permitted job, you'd need either a C15b, which is a telecom installer license, or you'd want a full C15, which is an electrician's license. For non-permitted, you do you :)
