I seriously wish my Netowrking teachers at UNI taught more like this rather than from a pre made presentation, I am so much more of a visual/hands on learner so when they just talked from a slide that didnt show much then threw us into a lab and expected us to know exactly what to do made it hard.

[@BallsworthBallsbury]

Traditional school is obsolete. This video is a perfect example why! I can't describe how grateful I am for this content, while also being simultaneously angry about all the wasted time from traditional shitty classroom "learning"

[@marcuspvxea]

Teaching like that goes hand in hand. Presentation about a topic covering sumurised infromation > Reading more in depth about what the teacher presented > Practical exercise > Test on the chapter. It's by far the easiest way to learn something. I had no problems learning when i found this out for myself, Teacher had a presentation for 10-15 minutes about a chapter, then i read through the chapter in the book after that i did a practical exercise or try to think of a few situations where it could be applied and then i was done for the rest of the chapter. A example by what i mean with trying to think of a situation where i could apply what i learned in the chapter using the video as a example would be building up a different network with 3 switches and a few computers in each network and then on papper, note how they can communicate with each other. And thats all i would need to do to score perfectly on the test afterwards. I usually did this in one lesson and then could spend the rest of the week doing whatever i wanted , then the day before the test i would have a summary of the chapter and just quickly go over it. I went from barley passing to straight A's and sometimes A+ (which is the highest grade u can have here)

Dude, I appreciate your ongoing efforts in making content like this, not only available to people but accessible as well. I am a senior network/security administrator with a 12 year old daughter who just started her CCNA journey. She loves your approach and method of teaching; basically it's a huge IT world that is an essential part of our lives. Learning about it is no longer just the domain of nerds, it is something that we should understand, same as we know how to check the oil or coolant in our cars, change the filters in our vacuums, or know how to balance our (virtual) checkbooks. I'm a fan of your teaching style as well. Between you, Jeremy Cioaro, Keith Barker, Knox Hutchinson, (just to name a few) and (humbly) myself, the next generation of IT engineers is taking strong root in my house. Thanking you immensely for your work.

So I assume this course will be centered around the new CCNA? I just passed my Network+ and have been using the Testout version of CCNA. However even though I understand the concepts it never walks me how to practice taking a router from my classroom, resetting it, and actually getting it to route my vlans without connecting to an already existing LAN. I have a managed Cisco Catalyst switch at home running off a SOHO. I would like to take an old Cisco router and start running Windows Server at home to get experience for my first job. I graduate college next month at have a good number of CompTIA certifications. I have yet to take the new CCNA until I find a good study source that covers the NEW test (after feb 2020). I can get it working on packet tracer but I could not get it working in a sandbox in my class lab.

Great content, gonna watch the rest of the series, but I wanted to post here before I forget. Do you end up covering the WHY of some of it? like, "Why can't a router do it all?" or "Why bother with the "MAC address, why doesn't a switch just map IP addresses?" On the surface it seems like an unnecessary complication though I'm sure there are good reasons why.

Quick question : How does my router get Mac address of my cloudflare/Google DNS server 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 ? Is it sending ARP requests to all subsequent router's between my router and the one directly connected to the DNS server ?

[@RAGreyling]

Hi Nik. Good question, and to answer it, your router never learns the MAC address of your preferred DNS server(s), unless he is part of the 1.1.1.0/24 (1.1.1.0-1.1.1.255) or 8.8.8.0/24 (8.8.8.0-8.8.8.255) networks. MAC addresses are only learned within the same network. Whenever a frame is sent to a host that’s not inside your network, that frame will always be forwarded to a gateway, and only the gateway’s MAC will be learned. For e.g. let’s introduce another router into Chuck’s lab that Google’s DNS server (8.8.8.8) sits behind. You are in the 10.1.1.0/24 network along with your router, however, your router is also part of the 10.2.1.0/24 network shared with the second router, which is part of both the 10.2.1.0/24 and 8.8.8.0/24 networks. Whenever you want to talk to 8.8.8.8, you’re going to forward that to your router, which first requires you to learn his MAC address. Once your frame reaches your router, because it’s also not part of the 8.8.8.0/24 network, it forwards it on to his gateway, which is 10.2.1.1, and he will have to learn its MAC address. Once he knows the second router’s MAC address, he forwards the frame onto it. Finally when it reaches the second router, who is part of the 8.8.8.0/24 network, the second router sends an ARP request to learn 8.8.8.8’s MAC address after which your request finally gets delivered to him. As you can see, only the router that’s part of the DNS server’s network has to learn it’s MAC address, so your router will always just learn the MAC addresses of hosts that are part of the same networks it belongs to. Hope this answered your question. :)

[@L4rgo117]

Check out 7:20 There's a lot more to it that he'll probably get into in later episodes but basically, first, your device makes a query for 1.1.1.1, and your router checks what subnet it belongs to, in this case we'll use 192.168.0.1/24 (which is 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255, google CIDR notation or "subnet cheat sheet" if it's confusing) as an example. since 1.1.1.1 is not located between 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.0.255, it forwards the request to the gateway configured on the router. The router above yours is run by your ISP, and has an entire block of public IPs, (let's say 20.0.0.0/24) that it allocates from for your use, usually through DHCP (don't worry about DHCP now, basically it's a way of giving out ip addresses as demand calls for them) and it checks within that new public address IP block for whether 1.1.1.1 is there. Since 1.1.1.1 still isn't between 20.0.0.0 and 20.0.0.255, the router will forward the request to the gateway above it. At this point you are probably talking BGP, (which there are a lot of videos about and you can search for if you're interested), but basically the BGP router will check its routing table and check for which IP blocks in its routing table *does* contain 1.1.1.1, *or* which of its peers can get there. For sake of argument and simplicity we'll say that your ISP peers directly with Cloudflare/ARIN and that the router can find what it's looking for directly. Then, the process gets reversed. The BGP router run by Cloudflare (the one we're trying to find 1.1.1.1 on) will be advertising 1.1.1.0/24 and at this point the packet follows this route because 1.1.1.1 *is* between 1.1.1.0 and 1.1.1.255. Then it goes down a router and let's say the router says you can find 1.1.1.0/30 (1.1.1.0 to 1.1.1.3) below here. At some point on the other end you hit a point where there's never an advertised level that's lower than you currently are, and then it checks the routing table for the MAC address and subsequently the server you're looking for, then the response reverses the process back to you. I was making some gross simplifications and assumptions here that I'm sure someone will comment on but basically it's like finding a specific chair in a specific room of a specific floor of a specific skyscraper at a specific building number of a specific street of a specific city in a specific country. Start at the little and work up till you hit as big as it gets, go across, then work back down in reverse till it hits the proper destination. chair-room-floor-building-block-city-country to country-city-block-building-floor-room-chair Also if you were wondering how 192.168.0.1/24 was located inside 20.0.0.1/24 lookup "RFC 1918 reserved address space" and "Network Address Translation" PS hopefully all of that makes sense Edit:​ @Reginald Greyling has a much better and more succinct answer than I put, didn't see it till I refreshed the page

I'm doing my courses on there so i can be accepted into this college but haven't learned anything. Just basic info to pass quizzes but that's it. Ur classes actually keep me engaged and wanting to learn more and with my ADHD that's very hard to come by so thank you so much. You have no idea how much that makes me happy

[@JJFlores197]

Just keep in mind his video series is not complete. There's still a ton of information he hasn't covered which is important to know if you're going for the CCNA. He's a good presenter, but he still needs a lot of work to get his series finished.

[@3333218]

You have a real talent of only telling people what is absolutely necessary and only revealing new information when they're ready to learn it; in a way that is easy to follow and understand!

[@kathrynbruton1762]

Just starting out in the 'IT world'.....9 months into my level 3 apprenticeship and these videos have helped me so much to understand and follow the basics. Thank you!

[@Bijlsmaa]

I didn't know I didn't know and wanted to know! Amazing content! Yesterday I was just an engineering thinking about hit network and a switch, now I'm an engineer going to impress our IT department and give them prop's for their work 👌👌

[@jibrailzadran8836]

I just can,t stop myself from watching this amazing content. i just want to say that plz don,t stop keep going . and i promoise i would do CCNA certification through your videos. you are an inspiration

[@RoudaFahad]

this is way better than my university course. the way you explain and show things keeps me really intrigued and interested that I am enjoying the learning process. thank you

[@hosparky1]

I've just come across your channel and making my way thru the CCNA series. I've watched a few other CCNA videos and they were dry and difficult to follow, but not yours. The hands on visual way of explaining the principles has given me the enthusiasm to work towards my CCNA again.

[@kfk4441]

I'm starting these videos without anything but basic gamer knowledge, I've always wondered how those messages work. I mean at first it was a simple question, now I just want to know more. It does look insane omg, I love it

[@abdulmuiz3417]

wish had a teacher like him before great job (Mr.N Chuck) this open the gate to many possibles knowledge is power salute you again Chuck

[@AcidSugar1414]

One of the biggest duh realization I had on this topic was that “no, devices are not really assigned IP addresses. Interface are assigned IP addresses.” It helped a lot in my journey.

[@gitgudsec]

Absolutely INSANE what a difference a good teacher can make. Really appreciate your enthusiasm and energy, only other teacher I've ever come across on this level is David Malan from CS50 - you are in good company. Makes me excited to learn this. Thanks again!

[@anthonywalker196]

I just joined in and I am completely blown away. I've been around computers since the early 80s and simply used them; not realizing that I should have gotten more familiar with the inner workings. Thank you for this superlative content 🙏 👏

[@trebelojaques458]

This just gives me so many reasons of inspirations to do the same for this community of innovating curious peacocks just newly entering the field. I'd love to sometime start and educate people for free, support and give back to the field, what it gave to me... Internet is definitely a miraculous invention, and I can't thank the previous lords of networks and computers to bring about such an event

[@roberthutson2023]

Hey Chuck, so I just wanted to say thank you for these videos. I love watching them even though I already know this stuff its just a great way that you teach it. I took Cisco Networking in my senior year of high school in BOCES/Vocational School. It is always great to get a refresher on what you learned that you might forget.

[@MrTimzigtm]

Thanks for all your help, brother! I have my BS in CyberSecurity and I am going back to Georgia Tech for my Masters. In between, I will get some of the certifications. I am a deputy at a jail in Florida, a liaison between security and IT. I have almost 16 yeqrs years in and a little over 8 years left until retirement, at which point I want to really hit hard with in this field and start a new. I have 3 children, and 2 are autistic. My son is further down on the spectrum, so when I retire, I want to set myself up for something remote. Thanks again. You have helped me garner and understand the information where I am actually gaining some confidence.

[@HigniteJohn]

I'm amazed at the content you've created here. I started my degree in Cyber Security and one of the required courses is CCNAv7 via Cisco Netacad. Since it's a distance learning university, there aren't a lot of face-to-face explanations of the content. These videos have made the information easier to digest and have reaffirmed my love for IT. Thanks again!

[@meganm8857]

I did an HND and a degree in IT (that's 5 years of learning this stuff) and I have to say that this is the first time i have ever actually fully understood what the teacher was saying. Thank you so much, i'm starting to believe that i might actually be able to pass my CCNA exam thanks to you

[@AlexandreSk]

I am a programmer for 15 years. Finally I learn this things.

[@j99-v1h]

I'm studying Sys Admin and Networking and last year I had to drop Networking because I didn´t get the basics. Thanks to your videos I can learn the basics and follow the subject this year.

[@jesismalls]

I appreciate you, I know its an old video but its getting me through my classes better than anything in our book

[@ernielb1743]

Chuck thank you so much I learned so much in an hour watching your videos. You're a amazing teacher!

[@emilianofernandezcervantes4042]

This is amazing!!! I am not a network engineer so it was SO difficult to find a course that could explain networks in a way I can understand. Thank you so much Chuck!!!

[@thinleyyoezer5640]

I made my day, my week, my year easy. Thank you so much . I think my university lecturer could do the same thing in their great length of teaching .work really appreciated

[@Melody1x]

i hated networking, this chuck right here made it simple and entertaining that im switching careers

[@testingme7936]

your courses are soo much fun to watch ; i learnd a lot from your videos
