This was an eye opening conversation. I like how he questions everything and doesn't just go with what is the new craze. I was in an interview were I was told that the company was not implementing SD-WAN because of security concerns. From this video I can see why but I would like to know more because now I work for a company that is implementing SD-WAN on a large scale. Could you go into more detail about the security concerns of SDWAN?
As always very matured knowledge sharing to us. David don't know the reason but you are laughing today from the heart & so much happiness on your face.
Thank you, Ivan and David, for this informative and entertaining video. As a CCNA, if I wish to be a successful (and relevant) Network Engineer, what order should I do these things in? Is the list of ten skills to learn as a Network Engineer also in the recommended order to learn them in (CCNA/CCNP -> Linux -> Git -> Python -> Ansible/Bash, etc)? I’ve also wondered if I should go directly for the new CCNP Enterprise when the materials start being released this November, or if I should learn Linux and other technologies first, and build out a broader foundation before getting the CCNP Enterprise? My problem is, I get halfway through a video course, such as ACloudGuru’s AWS course, and start thinking that I should learn more Linux or Python first; otherwise, the AWS skills or certification will be irrelevant. I sometimes spend so much time researching what to learn - and especially what order to learn them in - that I end up not really getting anywhere. It would be great if you could help point me in the right direction. Thanks very much, in advance. I’ve already purchased a couple of David’s courses on Udemy, and have a SafariBooksOnline subscription, as well.
This is packed full of brain food and I've bookmarked it to return several times. My biggest challenge is to find a good mentor. I thought it would be possible through work (Cisco) but not many people willing to help out.
Purchase cheap routers and switches to learn on. Learn the problems in networking and troubleshoot them. Learn your fundamentals for those never change. And learn to think for yourself when fixing things. Always look at root cause analysis.
Hi David, I have been following your videos for a while now and I have to tell you this you inspire me to study and get updated with new technologies. I finished my CCNA R&S exams and I am now confused whether to learn Python or Linux as an add- on. Please provide your valuable insight on this. Thanks and much appreciated.
I have just started studying networking though starting with basics , looking in terms of career further in networking .. however need to the main fingerpoints that I must need to have while studying for networking and for interview purpose
I‘d like more specific questions and answers. I mean, it was awesome, but it would be so much better if you‘d talk about how certain technologies/implementations work.
Both Ivan and I have courses and webinars that cover these technologies in a lot of depth. It would many hours to cover all of these technologies and we could not cover them in an hour call like this.
At what point do local Area networks get cellular based cloud treatment? So think of a A single cell tower handling all of the infrastructure needs of a mom and pop shop. They no longer need to run Ethernet from their pcs to a switch or even have a router on site. Just Cellular cards in all of their machines and a dashboard to the cell carrier's Cloud configuration tool. You could even go larger and have the network handle MANs and larger. Excellent work David as usual..
The root problem is shared versus switched media. You can't push as much data through a wireless frequency to N clients as you could on N dedicated point-to-point links. There are environments where it doesn't matter (= laptops, tablets...) but then you have to deal with security issues of clients coming into your network from public infrastructure (not that you wouldn't have security issues within your network anyway).
Good point Ivan, but couldn't similar be said about wireless 802.11? And we are seeing smaller shops converting their entire cabling plants over to wireless. I am not suggesting that large campuses would adopt this model, even @ 5g, But what about what comes next after that? However, smaller networks of 10 to 20 hosts in some of the less densely populated areas of the world could take advantage of 5g easily. It's not going to happen anytime soon in large Metro areas where towers will still be saturated. Eventually wireless bandwidth will become so cheap and the wireless space so large that it could, in theory, support 100s of users sitting at desktop PCs. We are probably talking 10-15 years out at the earliest for that consideration, given how long it takes for new standards to be adopted in cellular networks. But I wonder if this is more of an eventuality than a pipe dream. Your thoughts are appreciated..
The reason I am focused on small shops is because the largest percentage of network engineers in the US, and probably globally, make their living off of small shops.
Sure - but at least with wireless you know how many clients you'll have per AP (and hope there's no interference ;). Also, wireless AP footprint is much smaller than celltower footprint (so you can pack multiple APs on the same frequency in the same area). As for "what comes next", eventually we'll hit the Shannon limit. If I understood it correctly they're already working around that with directed antennas, but there's only so much you can do before physics rears its ugly head ;))
planning to go the security path after CCNA. when do you think is good time to pick up Linux and Python? Is cloud skills a must that makes me considering to put it down in my plan of development here? Thanks.
I would learn Linux and Python as soon as you can. Ivan recommended these skills - Top 10 technologies and skills to learn in 2019: 1) Networking - obviously you need to know networking if you are a network engineer :) Get your ccna / CCNP / CCIE 2) Linux 3) Git 4) Python 5) Higher level automation tool like Ansible / Bash / Make 6) Networking on Linux 7) Cloud skills like AWS or Azure 8) Application Architectures 9) Soft skills 10) Mentoring
David Bombal I think I will start your Udemy course after my CCNA . But I have no programming knowledge. Do you have a course for complete Linux beginners? Thank you

Hi David Bombal, I have a question, I'm studying both ccna r&s and Linux at the moment, planning to take both exams at the end of this month. I see your python 3 network programmability courses on gns3 and udemy is there any difference between them before making a purchase, which one do you recommend? You may also share with me some career advice as well! Looking forward to hear from you, Thanks
Content for the Python3 course is the same on all those platforms. On davidbombal.com, you get access to all my video courses as part of your subscription. Use whichever platform you prefer.
I think you should also open a Spotify account for these valuable contents. Some of your followers watch your videos with their smartphones and 77 minutes video length finishes battery sooo fast:)
Excuse me sir , i need some guidelines for my dream profession. i want become a good cyber specialist as like ethical hacker. How much skills need for my dream profession. i mean what kind of skills? how to become a Cyber specialist? please give me some guidelines. i’m very depressed in my career.😞😣
You're talking about apples, oranges and lobsters ;)) Public cloud: AWS or Azure. Go for AWS unless you plan to work in more traditional enterprise environment where Azure might be the way to go. Cisco: while they try to do everything (and everything else), they are still primarily a network infrastructure company, so if that's what you want to work on, definitely go for a mix of Cisco training + open networking (Linux on network devices) VMware or Hyper-V: Go with VMware unless you work for someone using Hyper-V. Sorry, Microsoft ;)
It seems to me that the progression outlined would be cisco NA, then on to other topics. Gotta get your basics straight to be able to tackle the larger subjects easily.
