Real-World Interoffice Switch Connections! Ep.4: Real-World Business Switch Network Build

[@AlexGrayTech]

I work in Cisco TAC now, but before that I was doing this kind of work in smaller businesses. I have that exact fluke tester/tone generator. I miss the hands on of cleaning up racks, running and terminating cables and patch panels...but it’s better on this side for sure. I’ll have to get my home lab on to satisfy the itch. This is the great content the beginner networking community needs!! Keep it up Jermey, you’re the best!!!

[@memem1792]

do you put labels on the cables?

[@TanukiSack]

Love this guys attitude. LETS GO!

[@DD-mr2tk]

you are the deal jeremy. Watching ur vids since 2016 and still i feel that hype to learn watching your videos :)

[@moonmelt9351]

would really like to know how you guys connect the cables to the right port for cable management?

[@eddiexyyy3325]

I notice the fiber port is not covered. I am just wondering should this port be covered all the time just for eye safety?

[@jasonc6397]

great videos... When you generated tone on data cable in suite 4 and then walked to suite 1 to check tone.... You changed dress shirt? Is that a requirement? 😉

[@ajaykabadi1995]

Great Explanation.....nicely explain the things

[@kosmicken]

I’m digging this and the previous cabling series. I’m really confused about one detail of this scenario, though. I am getting the impression that these are separate businesses renting these suites, not one business that is expanding into multiple suites. If that is correct, why are we connecting them? (If incorrect, why did I think this??)

[@ugoskates]

Been waiting a long time for this

[@henryclarke3371]

Great video sir... Please, where can I get episode 1-3?

[@wally19]

look into his channel, last videos are this same serie.

[@johnmichaelechavez5979]

good job great man erik.. can u make spine leaf network

[@safdarkhan542]

Nice video! Please can you tell me How will i connect 4 different IDFs to the MDF ? what i dont understand is that the 4 uplinks ports on the core switches will not be enough. Is it ok if i use the normal fastethernet or gig ports?

[@JoaoSilva-gs5jb]

If you can't upgrade or 100mbps is enough, you gotta uplink every IDF core switches multiplied by the number of core switches on the MDF.

[@manishkad9284]

Waiting for next video.. eagerly

[@tg9460]

Great tutorial. What certification do I need for this? I passed CCNA certification in R&S a few months ago.

[@williebrown4266]

You should look into Bicsi training. Here is the link: BICSI Education | BICSIwww.bicsi.org

[@alihmd1628]

Thank you for this video jeremy,i have a question, what if the 2 sites were seperated more than 100m what could you do ?

[@REKT_Industries]

Fibre

[@skarshad]

Single mode fiber

[@Marbell26]

I’m confused as to why you’re not just stacking the core switches. This would allow you to LAG the links back to the access switches. You could then not have to worry about STP.

[@Viatto]

The core switches this client has do not support stacking. And you’re right, that would be a much more elegant solution.

[@ElPulZe]

Big S/O to Erick

[@CZF-ci8uw]

"That's on the same scale as a data center power outage." 🤣💀

[@ravirajsinhzala9535]

Make collaboration with network chuck and david bombal

[@MickeyM__]

WHY WHY WHY would you stuff all that cable into the cable tray VS making it into a cable bundle in the back of the cabinet?

[@pepeshopping]

Wow...safety third eh. To be a pro, you have to really be a pro am bring all needed tools, like a ladder! Bad example for the dummies that follow without discernment.
