Introduction To Network Engineering0:46
Mo introduces network engineering basics using routers and switches. Learn command-line access, ip configuration, routing between sites, vlan and inter-vlan routing, stp, port security, lacp and pagp.

Overview Of All TCP/IP Classes and How Binary and Decimal Work (Part1).9:43

Class A7:25
Explain class a ip addressing, showing how the first octet forms the network while the last three form hosts, using the default 255.0.0.0 (cidr /8) mask.
Class D And E1:55
Explain class d and class e, with class d for multicast to specific customers and class e for research. Highlight routing protocols such as RIP, EGP, and OSPF that notify neighbors and update routing tables, and note the classful ranges 224-239 and 240-254.

What Is The Difference Between TCP And UDP and What Are Port #s. (Part1)7:51

Configure The VTY Line (Remote Connection Telnet)9:34
Configure remote access by assigning an IP address on the interface and enabling Telnet or SSH with an enable secret. Learn DHCP setup and VTY line limits and timeouts.
Configure Usernames For Console and Telnet.4:25

Master switch port configuration by adding descriptions, setting speed and duplex, and administratively shutting unused ports with range commands, then verify with IP interface brief and show commands.
The MAC Address Table5:54
Explore how switches build and use the mac address table to forward frames per port, eliminating collisions and replacing hubs with smarter, dynamically learned hardware addresses.
Storage Types Of The Switch.(RAM,NVRAM,FLASH)4:41
