Hello guys!! For this video, I'm sharing another a day in a life my main task is migrating switch cable for our Switch upgrade. I'll show the entire process from preparation and best practices and also some communication skills tips.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the video!!

Hello!! I hope that you enjoy watching this video. Just wanna let you know that whatever tool you use to edit config is fine (Notepad, Word etc). It's your preference and I'm not pushing you to use Visual Studio and RoyalTS so this shouldn't be a big deal. What's important is getting the job done regardless of your preferred tool. Thank you!

[@dramanationz]

I really get to learn so much from your videos. And also can you create a CCNA course for beginners.

[@Manu-rd4pc]

@@dramanationz a CCNA course would really take a long time though and for beginners it would be more CCST

[@alham__aa]

Never saw this level of IRL videos; Really helpful

[@EastCharmer]

I really wanted to be as realistic as possible. Glad you find it helpful

[@silvestervochot9643]

The NotePad++ can do the same, plus it highlights the selected text if appears more than once. You can compare there the configs as well or you can use an online tool for this comparison, it's free and it will take you less time compared to doing it manually. Good job and keep up the good work!

[@EastCharmer]

Thanks!! and yeah whatever tool used is fine. just happened that we use RoyalTS at work and it already has the features so I won't have to open different programs. It's just easier for me since we use it to access our switches so I can also compare it there.

[@RileyRR]

This is an awesome video series, thank you!

Glad you like them! You're very welcome!

My good old days working in IT. Loud A/C with loud music playing Daft Punk on repeat and of course cold pizza late in the night and early morning just finishing my 4th Rockstar energy drink. The spaghetti RJ45 cables with all the cable colors in world on every switch port and server port from 5ft to 20ft, cleaning it all up and in a year do it all over again lol.

[@EastCharmer]

oh wow thanks for sharing!! haha your description of cables is on point!

[@wopr137]

@@EastCharmer I love it all! Great times!

[@BlackBagData]

I’ve never configured switches at work because there were always teams to do that. I’ve only configured my Ubiquiti switches. Nice video.

[@EastCharmer]

Thanks! oh yeah other companies have in-house Network Team. We are an "all around" IT team coz we have no special teams in our location. Sometimes it's challenging to wear many hats but also a good learning experience. I haven't touch Ubiquiti switches yet. I've only worked on CISCO for now

[@Manu-rd4pc]

@@EastCharmer I bet it's challenging to wear many hats but it's also great!! I worked for a company with many teams (network team etc...) and basically you learn nothing (well, almost nothing...) and basically you get no experience. So yeah, being able to do a lot of different things is really good in my opinion 🙂

[@JoeClyde579]

Great job. Very organized and you showed how important it is to communicate.

[@EastCharmer]

Thank you! Yes it's just as important as technical skills

I'm glad I'm not the only one cleaning up cable messes, it's so painful to look at :D

[@EastCharmer]

oh yeah for real. I can't work in that environment

[@TheDexterFishbourne]

I am just about to start a buildout of a new core (stacked 9500's) and lan stack (4x9200's) for a new building, transitioning to the new core from the old facility, then completing a buildout of a 10 strand 10G fiber loop. I love my job, I am always learning something new.

[@EastCharmer]

Thank you! I wish I'm more technical that's why I'm trying to study again

[@DRCHEESE387]

The part about being the only one cleaning up the space. I feel that. 🙃 Worked in 3 different places and it only seemed to be me. Like some people think they are above cleaning. It's still very much a part of IT or any job really.

[@EastCharmer]

Indeed! Like how can you even work if the env is messy omg. Some people also think that clean up is beneath them too just bcoz they're "engineers". If you made a mess , clean it up. If you don't wanna clean up don't make a mess

[@nicolaslugtu7681]

Can't wait to graduate and actually start doing this ❤

Can you show a video to configure a switch from scratch like how to physically access and configure

[@EastCharmer]

I already have a video about that. You can check the channel.

[@CupidAmoroso]

What you meant by copy over configurations to the new switch? My company is actually switching out the Small Business SG500x with the Cisco Catalyst 9200L. Already implemented some.

[@EastCharmer]

before moving the cables to the new switch, the config from the old ones need to be copied first(VLAN, speed, desc) so the transition to the new switch will be smooth.

about LAN cables or patch cord. did you buy them or you crimp it manually?

Preference. In this case she only used it for text editing, which you can even use Word, or notepad instead lol

[@EastCharmer]

@@manphan6689 I use Visual Studio for Python so might as well use for this since I have it open. whatever tools used shouldn't be a big deal. Plus VS code is not used for preference. it's used for its features

coz I really don't do intense coding I guess

[@manphan6689]

@@EastCharmer Oh yeah definitely, but in this specific case in your video, the only feature needed was search and replace which is in every text editor on Windows so it shouldn't matter which one you used. Obviously for different tasks it'll require more than just text editing. I personally just use VSC for most of my coding and Visual Studio for app developments (C#).
