This is amazing. I’ve been studying network and currently preparing for an exam and this video is an invaluable resource. Learning network topography on paper is one thing, but seeing everything in a practical setting ties everything together. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for this. I have a off grid CCTV system that I would like to broadcast the cameras signal over (I believe) a Local Area Network. Right now all 4 cameras connect to a DVR and can be viewed at the monitor in the control room. I am wondering if I could somehow broadcast that same signal to a router that a cell/phone laptop across the building could pickup?

I find this technology so interesting, I do not deal with this enough to retain the information so I am grateful for your teaching style and your willingness to share information.

I was able to log into the wireless router with my cell phone but that was as far as I could get. I am in the dark as to what to do next. Keep in mind there is no internet access at this location for the time being. Any suggestions?

@@mannaiazza2502 First check and see if your home router has VPN capabilities. You can do this by going to command prompt on a Windows computer and typing the command "ipconfig". The IP address you are looking for is the "Default Gateway". Youll type that Default Gateway address in a browser and login to the router. You can then look for VPN.

It will depend on the space you are working in. Id recommend purchasing at least 2 48 port switches and a spool of CAT 7 cable. Does the building already have structured cabling in place? Feel free to join the discord and we can talk about this in more depth.

Hi! Question: how do these devices actually communicate with each other once connected to the switch? In this scenario, you know the IP address of the computer. But what if this is in a larger organization?… for example: how would “Bob” know how to send data to “John” without knowing his IP or MAC?
@ltnlabs
@ltnlabs Жыл бұрын
Great question. Thats where DNS comes in to resolve hostnames to IP addresses. You would also have routers in place to route traffic between different subnetworks. I discuss these later in the course

Make sure each of them has an IP address in the same network but don't duplicate IP addresses. Also keep in mind that the Windows Defender firewall blocks ICMP by default :).

Yes but a special type of ethernet cable called crossover cable is needed. The physical wires inside the cable is connected in a different manner which allows hosts to network directly.

Your videos are SUPERB! I like how you think of everything, even small details such as setting the notebook to go to sleep so that you can point out that detail about the switch light turning off, or some machines not having Ethernet ports but needing the USB to Ethernet adapter... the list goes on! You also have a lot of practice explaining things as simply as possible. At least I assume it's practice, but you could also have a natural talent for that. I've found your videos by searching for this specific topic, and I can see it also has a lot of hits. If I were you, I'd check out some of the most viewed videos on other tech channels and do my own video on them. A lot of people search for a solution to a very specific problem, and there are some videos which do a very good job of explaining the solution, which is why they have so many views. I'm sure you could do a much better job than most (or probably even ALL) of them, and the people who stumble onto your channel by looking at those videos would start browsing your other content. Just a thought though. I'd love to see your channel thrive! :) Here are some other awesome IT channels which you might find interesting: Best networking channel: www.youtube.com/@PracticalNetworking Best CCNA course (has a paid version with amazing labs): www.youtube.com/@Flackbox Best explanations of IT technology (has a CompTIA A+ and Network+ video in the playlist, both around 4 hours long): www.youtube.com/@PowerCertAnimatedVideos Also excellent networking explanations (has the best networking site): www.youtube.com/@Networklessons I hope to watch more of your videos!!! :) You've earned a subscriber!
