Network Tools - CompTIA A+ 220-1001 - 2.8

[@ianrobinson222]

The hardest chapter is over. Thanks Professor Messer. You are the man

[@mylesharris8672]

is this the hardest chapter? that's a huge relief. Hopefully the next chapters will be more merciful towards me. LMAO.

[@sheepnoisebah]

why did he start with the hardest? thats just cruel.

[@evolutionzero1302]

I’d argue that the printing chapter is the worst but everyone has their strong suits

[@Fale55]

@@sheepnoisebah he follows the order of CompTIA list of objectives for the A+. I prefer having to learn this early on. It's best to rip the bandage off quickly.

Whoo! Hardest chapter complete club

[@ililililil8385]

Feels like I've learned more in a week watching these videos than I have 4 years at university. Thank you professor.

[@auralplex]

I did the stupid Google IT course. Learned nothing. This is way better, I agree.

[@HearMeLearn]

@@auralplex Like a year ago I was looking into the google IT course and I almost bit the bullet, but I looked at reviews and "does it actually help you get an IT job" and it actually seemed kinda useless in practice even though on paper it looks like a good way to get your foot in the door

[@cgme7076]

That seems to be how it always goes. College is just to get a degree. I'm also in college right now, but I still hold to the truth that you don't really *learn* anything that useful in college, especially if you don't have an interest in the field you are studying.

[@70Se7en]

I couldn't agree more. I'm nearing the end of my bachelor's and I feel like I've only learned the absolute basics of computers because every single course just kind of repeats the same basics that the other course stated. I have more background experience since I grew up with computers as a teenager, but with people who are just coming into IT with no personal experience, only using college as a resource gets you nowhere.

chapt.1 and chapt.2 done. Thanks for the vids my dude.

[@princeraj592]

What chapter is this video??

[@Mak2Grim]

@@princeraj592 2.

[@OldgoodAle]

Thank you for the explanation of how the tone generator works. It was hard to understand from the book material how you can determine the cable using it.

[@neilwinchell7468]

Mid way point *wipes sweat from my brow*

[@VictorTheGoalie]

Very thoroughly enjoying how much I'm learning. Thank you for making this accessible to people passionate about technology all around the world.

God Bless you James Messer

[@trahman9844]

great video!, at 6:52 what do you mean by fooling applications?

[@teacherrussell5206]

Professor, you said performing the crimping process was outside of the scope of the Network+ exam.....did you mean A+?

[@professormesser]

You don't need to demonstrate any crimping skills for the A+ or Network+. You still have to know what a crimper is and when to use it, for both A+ and Network+.

[@OramiIT]

Also technicians tend to write all kinds of stuff on covers or boxes and such. Just one more place to look.

[@lucasmills1246]

On the 1001 and 1002, will I have to demonstrate that I know how to use all of these tools? I'm just not sure if I only need to know what they are, or go ahead and buy them all to learn to use them.

[@professormesser]

There is no hands-on portion of the exam, so you won't need to physically operate any of these tools. You should ideally understand what functions these tools can provide and when you should use them in your troubleshooting efforts.

[@lucasmills1246]

@@professormesser Ok, thanks for clarifying that. Much appreciated sir, and thanks so much for the videos. You are a great help

[@hamzapuris]

7:26 This wall could be the patch panel that you mentioned in one of your previous videos?

[@Astroq7]

Does the tone generator go through splitters ?

[@professormesser]

As long as an analog signal will transmit through the copper, the tone will be heard on the other end.

[@magic7mark]

hi does cable tester same with multi meter?

[@AjayKumar-un9gy]

cable tester mainly testes the punching of network cable & the type of cable, for example, if it is straight or a cross-over cable. a multimeter is an electronic measuring instrument it measures the current, resistance, various voltages, etc. on the cable. it can be also used to check if the cable is good or not.
