IPv4 is one of the most popular protocols in the world. In this video, you’ll learn about the fundamentals of IPv4 addressing, automatic IP addressing, and the difference between public and private IP addresses. << Previous: Binary Math Next Video: Classful Subnetting >> If you’ve done anything with networking, then you’ve probably run into an […]

If you’re calculating IP subnets, it will be useful to understand the basics of binary math. In this video, you’ll learn how to convert between decimal and binary IP addresses. << Previous: Network Architectures Next Video: IPv4 Addressing >> In the next part of this course, we’re going to talk a lot about IP subnetting.

Many networks are built using well-established design criteria. In this video, you’ll learn about three-tier architectures, collapsed core designs, and traffic flow in a data center. << Previous: Network Topologies Next Video: Binary Math >> Many enterprise networks take advantage of a three-tiered architecture. This is a very common design. And you’ll find many organizations

We often use broad descriptions when describing network topologies. In this video, you’ll learn about star, mesh, hybrid, spine and leaf, and other network topology types. << Previous: Copper Connectors Next Video: Network Architectures >> Networks can connect to each other in many different ways. And in this video, we’re going to look at a

Not every copper connection is the same. In this video, you’ll learn about RJ11, RJ45, F-connectors, and BNC copper connectors. << Previous: Fiber Connectors Next Video: Network Topologies >> One common copper connector we use on our networks today is an RJ11. This stands for Registered Jack type 11. It is a six-position connector, but

There are many different ways to connect optical fiber devices. In this video, you’ll learn about LC, SC, ST, and MPO fiber connectors. << Previous: Network Transceivers Next Video: Copper Connectors >> When working with fiber optics, one of the first things you’ll notice is there are many different connector types. You have to make

Transceivers are used to provide a modular networking environment. In this video, you’ll learn about Ethernet transceivers and the differences between SFP, SFP+, QSFP, and QSFP+. << Previous: Copper Cabling Next Video: Fiber Connectors >> Transceiver is a combination of two words– “transmitter” and “receiver.” And these are usually combined within the same piece of

There are many different copper cable types used in modern networks. In this video, you’ll learn about twisted pair cable, coax, and the importance of plenum-rated copper cables. << Previous: Wireless Networking Next Video: Network Transceivers >> Cabling is the foundation of everything we do in networking. Whether you’re using a router, a switch, a

If you are networking over an extended distance, you’re probably using optical fiber. In this video, you’ll learn about multimode and single mode optical fiber technologies.  << Previous: Wireless Networking Next Video: Copper Cabling >> Many of us are accustomed to using twisted pair copper, especially if we have networks that we use at home

Every Ethernet device in the world can communicate with every other Ethernet device, thanks to the international standards. In this video, you’ll learn how Ethernet standards are created and updated. << Previous: Wireless Networking Next Video: Optical Fiber >> If you’ve connected your computer to a wired network, then you’re probably using Ethernet. Ethernet is
