I always find it interesting with all the emphasis on cloud and wireless computing these days ; the general public often forget there is some serious hardware that’s the backbone of the internet. I’d be interested in a presentation about the global connections (undersea cables, cables to cities, satellites, etc) .

[@tulasideviful]

Yes!

[@loreyoungtech]

How you explain stuff and your sense of humour is the best way to teach people. And your contents are enjoyable to watch.

[@futuredreamstoreality8361]

I am a 100% noob to cyber security/IT-related fields. I am currently in my first class for Cyber Security. This series has been SOOOO helpful!! I get excited for the quizzes because I actually understand what you are teaching ONLY because of the way you are teaching it. thank you so much!!❤ I am actually learning more with you than my college class😊

[@Larimuss]

Yeah it’s 100x easier to learn something if you have good material and teacher. Most books and stuff are a nightmare to start off.

I passed my CCNA last January, in the form of ICND1 and 2, but I'm still learning from your videos! The explanation is clear and logical, really like it!

[@way2virgo]

I worked on a network literally in a janitorial closet. The rack was next to a floor drain used by janitors. This was a silicon valley hospital pathology lab. They finally upgraded out of there in 1994.

[@MegaFemer]

Hey, Chuck! Great video, I’m glad you covered data center networking. I’ve been a data-center technician, analyst and system admin, now I’m a data-center operations network engineer. Thanks to you, I’ve been able to dicier a lot of networking questions. I would like to see more coverage on data-center networking, it’s amazing and complex. Just to give you a side note, we are currently implementing a spine-leaf topology running bgp, underlays and overlays, etc.

[@MegaFemer]

We actually do connect two leaf nodes together using MLAG (Arista). However, only two per (pod). So they are in pairs. We currently use superspine -> spine -> leaf. And we have protocol switches within the racks the connect to the leafs. From the leafs up it’s all L3. And we use ECMP for the load balancing. Man, it be nice to chat with you about this sometime. But for now, hope the next video goes over ASNs lol.

[@Battleraiser]

As someone that works in the data center environment, this is awesome.

[@JustSkillGG]

I am following a lot of computer science channels. But this guy is simply my favorite teacher. I don't feel like I am watching an educational video ( which is what I do actually), I feel entertained and I am having fun. Networkchuck you are unique and awesome!

[@johnwick5142]

I would gladly pay for a course like this.. without a doubt. The way you pair your enthusiasm & passion for our industry with the great explanations & knowledge is phenomenal! We NEED strictly Network Chuck courses!!! Much love & peace!

[@glenncoates]

I just found you on youtube a week ago and love this content. I'm working on my CCNA because I fell into setting up Cisco networks for Data Center Physical Security systems. At first I was doing basics like setting up network management and vlans. But now they've gone full redundancy and I'm learning spanning tree and portfast commands as I go. I share in your enthusiasm for this and love learning more and more. Thanks for all the visual explanations and simplifying some pretty complex information. Great Job.

[@saleemogunniyi7328]

You make ccna so simple, thanks for building solid foundation for everyone here. I feel like talking ccna exam again to score 1000 points

[@cesarausan]

I never tired of repeating it over and over again !!! THANK YOU CHUCK for teaching us in this pleasant way the structure of data center and giving us the knowledge of network devices that in Latin America are out of budget. This is the best CCNA course you can take and it's free !!! You are simply amazing !!!

[@jasonmarin5139]

What a fantastic, helpful, engaging, fun, and rewarding course! I'm still studying for my A+, and I started this series with the "subnetting" chapter, and then went back to the beginning. I'm so glad I did! Chuck is one of those gifted individuals who not only *really* understands what he's sharing, but you can tell that he loves to share what he knows, not least because he's really passionate about what he's sharing! Any of the videos for this course are excellent for seasoned veterans and novices alike. And every time I hear the "click" of an ethernet cable being plugged in, I will think of Chuck!

[@Lyricsss34]

I love people who love what they do. You are such an inspiration man. Thank you!

[@teresas.3979]

I love that actual devices are shown. Since we are currently upgrading, I recognize various devices and helps me understand our network better.

[@spuriustadius5034]

There's been a lot interest lately in using the new "bare metal switches" loaded with linux-based open networking software like SONiC for Spine and Leaf functions in a datacenter. How does one get involved with those? Or, how do you decide to use bare-metal hardware rather than offerings from Cisco or Juniper? I really like the concept of something like SONiC but it seems intimidating to get started with.

[@JP_Net_Evolve]

Great video, finally seeing folks interested in a Spine/Leaf Design or Clos Fabric ( Level 2), I have been designing Clos Fabrics since 2000, started with Catalyst 6509’s with 8 Spines using ECMP with some special tuning for hashing method like a pearson hash!

[@MrSloppyLoppy]

That was AMAZING!! Mind you a lot of what I learned prior to what was explained here was where I was laughed at. So I made my own rack NOT containing a load balancer or software till I now understand why this needs to be part of the network. So much to learn and remember with the fact that I have to forget about half of what I was taught in the past. Soon as cloud computing came out, things were just beginning to change faster and quicker. It still made it much cheaper to buy the old or replaced hardware. Thank you so much for the videos and all the work that you do and hand to us for free. I will not download your videos anymore though, hope that was not a "my bad" situation.

[@rishabhtomar7071]

The way chuck explains things is really awesome. Keep going dude. Love from India.

I've worked in Datacenters for the last 13 yrs. I work on Network capacity ( Scaling). Thank you for your courses. They have helped quit a few Techs that I know

[@Clema]

Great video. I have worked in a datacenter and never knew this. It all comes together now. They would use the old network design en forget about redundant power. A switch would fail and so would the whole rack or racks. On hot summer days the hvac system could not cool enough en drives in raid arrays would fail by the hour because of the heat. Vps is the way to go and if you could ditribute them across different services and locations you have no worries. Not to mention server maintanance. Keep up the good job.

I also work on all of the building automation for these buildings as well so learning the in depth workings of the networking has been so cool. It is very cool to walk through this data center looking at all of the servers and even the computer housing the AI for the school. I am planning to go for CCNA and more just to gain more knowledge and certs for the future. Keep up the great work sir!!!
