Really good lesson on switches, and I enjoyed the real life IT stories too. Also, thanks for showing an actual switch again, and using pics of them in this vid too. That definitely helps noobs that watch your vids.👏

Hey Eli, great video as always. I love this type of content from your channel! I only want to point out that SFP RJ45 modules do exist, they aren't fiber-only as implied.

Eli still doing Youtube. Good to know.

[CyberTronics]

Oh yes, gonna watch this on the weekend :)

Would love to see how you do out of band management

I love these basics of networking coz I went to lectures but that is always pure theory, while normal life and equipment contain tons and tons of "shortcuts" and not by the book implementations and wackyness. Eli's normal life contrasts (experiences) are valuable hybrid with theory.

Oh wow - the scenario to TS a loop, sounds like a nightmare for production systems. A reminder for change controls!

Hey Eli could you do a video on JavaScript programming?

[kristopherleslie]

I’ve got a client who can easily manipulated by hearing other companies and individuals use cases (not a detailed one btw). I heard company A does blah. I want that now. Next week I heard company B does blah. I want change everything, stat. Rinse and repeat no matter topic.

I'm a fan of using managed in default settings(use it as an unmanaged switch) over a unmanaged in small business applications unless the people never touch network cables:P only because they usually provides network loop other comments, d-link is d-link, netgear seemed ok, hp is nice, juniper is super nice ** token ring is the future!
