Fantastic video David. Love it. Do more practice videos with fiber optic. This was cool with light. Cheers. :)

[@educastellini]

-Great content Professor David...!!! -Aruba is a fantastic manufacturer and I still want to get certified on their equipment, because although jobs like Aruba are not common as they are with Cisco environments they make a really good equipment. -By the way, the other day I did an interview for a position in Europe that didn't ask for Cisco, but for Extreme Networks, Aruba and Fortinet. -Thanks for the knowledge Professor David...!!!

[@IBM_Museum]

I loved the demonstration of visible light through fiber - in my home, I've done multi-mode fiber links between my switches for years. Of course, the use-case between single-mode and multi-mode is different too.

[@ivosarak959]

MM vs SM is mostly about the run length. Then it is about speed and network topology, but in the context of that video these are details of no importance.

[@scottstephenson1279]

It is great to see visual examples such as the fiber and also the high end networking equipment. Great videos David

[@Joeron79]

Por fin !! Entiendo los cables SFP, SFP+, QSFP+. Eres muy amable. Muchas gracias por explicarme. Saludos desde Colombia. Finally !! I understand SFP, SFP +, QSFP + cables (2.5gb, 10gb, 25gb, 50gb and 100gb). You are very kind. Thank you very much for explaining. Greetings from Colombia.

[@benkingshott8159]

Awesome home lab, I am jealous. I note you kinda indicated yellow = SM and purple = MM... people will be confused if they come across any MM other than OM4 🤣 Cool to see the light patterns though.

[@Finchnz]

not sure if this has been pointed out before, but if your in a pinch and trying to work out if your getting light out of a fibre, often the camera on a phone will pickup the light coming through. but yeh don't look into the fibre to look for the light source, especially on Single mode!

Really Great to see you are still spend on learning. ❤️👍

Thanks David for explaining multimode and single mode fiber and producing great content for us thanks again.

[@ivosarak959]

As what comes to the optics then the general rule is to have caps-plug covers on all the time, so as less dust can get into the connector parts the better. Just in time of plugging it in the cover comes off and if to unplug then the cover will go on.

[@BiblicalArchaeologyAR]

Love this video, especially the last 5 minutes. Thank you!!

[@javacqt]

Thank you David for your content!

[@dbtwiztid]

I just want to say that Mr. Bombal actually gets me excited about the content being presented. I wish the Cisco Network Academy tried to make their material half as engaging.

[@thisduderockz]

can u do a series where you go through a network configuration setup? showing us the whole topology of how everything is connected and setup? i havent found one proper video on youtube going through switch and router configurations. im sure it can be very boring and arduous, but with all the networking channels i havent seen anyone show how a network is actually configured. router on a stick intervlan routing, vlan setup, port security, voip, firewall, ACL's, port channel bonding... etc etc... everything that would make a network work with a managed switch.

[@selvapriyan81]

You are doing a great work David Keep going

David is the best KZbinr because you can learn tech and if you feel low his motivation gives you the pump!

[@ivosarak959]

It was to show connectivity as a dumb switch, but these boxes are managed ones with their value tied largely with in that management side. Do you plan to show how and what will it take to stack, vlan, monitor, fault detect, ... the whole set?

Thanks for another great video - still awaiting the continuation of the video from GNS 3 2.2.22 where you said you will show how to upload the aplliances and images.

[@frederikholmquist3160]

Hi David. Could you maybe do a video we’re you go more in depth with the things you are talking about in this video. Like sfp, the different types of cables and connectors etc. I don’t really understand it, but I’m watched the video anyway, cause I’m interested in learning more😊

[@patthetech]

I first encountered HPE/Aruba when I started my current job. Being from a Cisco world, the small differences trip me up to this day sometimes (un/Tagged for ex) Nice to see Aruba sponsoring a youtuber like you. Do you plan on, or have you already, getting any Aruba certs?

[@davidbombal]

I have an older HPE MASE cert. I used to teach a lot of HPE courses before they purchased Aruba.

Thanks much for the very informative video David. Requesting you to make a video on Fiber Connectors.

[@venkatesh4760]

@@davidbombal Yes David.

[@jasonthomashorn4794]

Apologies if this has been asked. I see the 100gig end would not be physically redundant because of it's single point of failure and I assume the 25gig ends could be considered multipoint one removed would not limit the others. So is it accurate to say the 100 to 25 cable break outs create 4 separate logical routes that could be considered redundant?

Fiber optics has come a long way. I remember being in college many moons ago, this technology was in its infancy. The technology of today didn't exist at that time. You get insane bandwidths which results in fast transmission of data using laser at the speed of light. Also, it's extremely hard to 'tap' in to intercept the data/communication. Fun video, thanks Dave for sharing your craft with us.

[@GuyPipili]

@@davidbombal That's actually an under statement. 😆 I remember the lab work we had to do. We even had to splice the cable after it was cut! Kids nowadays has it so easy!

David, Thank you for explaining the different SFPs and fiber. A quick question on the 10G Copper SFP, Is Aruba making a 10G Copper SFP? I thought and read that most of the OEM did not make it due to the heat and power issues. Please confirm.

Thank you for this great video! I'm really interested in these 2,5/5Gig usb Ethernet adapters. It would be amazing for you to test the latency of them in comparison to a 1Gig PCIe nic, since I think about running a small Ceph cluster on nuc sized mini PC's to save some power and gain ha and write latency must be low of course.

With the Aruba kit are you able to bond / etherchannel the two virtual ports on the 100G port side? This apparently isn't supported on Juniper QFXes with the 40G->4x10G breakout cables.

Yes, that's it. Apparently you can use the ports individually but not bond them.

So I may have a dumb question, I have 6 or 7 switches at work that are linked via FSP, I need to configure a VLAN on each of those switches, which are all linked to layer3 switch. Is it possible that I can configure the FSP port for VLAN or does it have to be a regular interface? I only configure VLAN on regular interface.

[@abudi45]

so cool I love it......

[@deadcatthinks6725]

No inspection or cleaning of the fibre connectors before plugging them in? Tsk! ;) With A1/A2 fibre youre usually good for a minimum bend radius of 10xdiameter. B3 fibre you can tie in knots with barely any increase in insertion loss.

[@xAngryDx]

Hey David, how are you? Appreciate your video, and I hope Aruba will read my comment as well. The equipment is very nice, but the support in my current region feels bad. Also, I would kindly request you to make another video about fiber connectivity. More details about single mode, multi mode, short range, and long range fiber. Thank you again for your efforts.
