FREE Network Documentation - likely the most requested topic I've encountered over the years. What is the BEST way? What is the SCALABLE way? What is the RIGHT way? Let's start with the puzzle piece at the center of that question: NetBox. NetBox is an open-source web application designed to help manage and document computer networks; this video gives you a picture of WHAT NetBox is and the problem it solves. In my next video, I'll show you how to install it perfectly the first time.
Exciting news!! My first full KITS course is out today, teaching you how to use NetBox! It's jam-packed with 20 lessons on everything you need to know to get started with an eye towards network automation as your next step. Learn more here: bit.ly/KITS-NetBox

Man the level of enthusiasm you have for your job is awesome,the way you explain and dive deep into the subject that's next level

[@dw2291]

Jeremy's energy built my career .. if I ever run into this guy I owe him a coffee at least...

[@afzalmalham]

Jeremy, you sir are of the best IT trainer who doesn’t miss a thing when teaching any topic.

[@syedqadir8140]

Before completing this video, it started finding name "Jeremy" to be make sure. He is always my favourite since CCNA training videos. I have not taken any trainings from institute for networking skills and i believe no one can better teach than Jeremy. Love from India for strengthing students.

[@rafaelbianco252]

Yes! The world needs this series!

[@MrLupoNino]

This dude i've heard since videos ISA-Server-2004, the same enthusiasm is on his voice. Amazing trainer.

[@drewn4588]

This sounds like exactly what I need...I cannot wait for this series of videos!! 🔥🔥

[@shaitech128]

Hey Jeremy, thanks for the awesome video! I wish and i think more students would love your Kits course for CCNP ENCOR+ENARSI and CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure ( i was really disappointed that you had only few videos and on ENARSI you aren't participant even). I and many others i think will pay for it! You are my favorite trainer.

[@Viatto]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@nepsky]

Jeremy, thanks for sharing everything. Your video are much better now !!

[@BishishtBhatta]

Installed this. I am pretty sure I am going to fall in love with it.

[@hebercloward1695]

I recognize that voice :) Thanks for those CBTnuggets

[@JamesThomasURL]

This series is going to be great! Can't wait.

[@ahmedal-rashed9581]

You are amazing.. can’t wait for the series

[@komalthecoolk]

I wish there was a playlist of all the Netbox videos you made

[@АндрейЗубков-ж2б]

Jeremy, are there any plans to create lessons on the VyOS open source router?

[@meierthomas]

Sounds like the holy grail 😎 Does netbox allow you to visualise a network and its various components?

[@fullsleevetats]

No, it does not. All of the integrations alluded to in this video, miss the massive point that all of those integrations, each require custom integration and development (you literally have to write the APIs on the southbound side) to pull the custom fields, data, joins from Netbox into your other system of choice. Each and every one of those integrations, is custom engineering.

[@txurrispo]

Amazing thanks! But i have a question. It´s very usefull to document the network. But in some cases, its versy interesting have a graphical view of the network, but this software doesn´t provide that easily. Area there a (easy) form of get a graphicaly represented netowrk that i created with netbox? Regards.

[@jcl3273]

QUESTION: I have 2 questions please, if yuou could please let me know - 1. has NETBOX gained much traction and is it being used in a practical manner one year on from these videos ? and 2. Can i run NETBOX on my MACBOOK Pro ?

[@jserr9682]

sry new guy here by far your the best all trainers they all great but your one step above... where can I find your training for the ccna?

[@Viatto]

at CBTNuggets.com

[@DanielP2012]

Is this pretty much a Cisco prime?

[@ToBi-xr2mg]

Would love to do a vendor assessment for Netbox's use in a controlled environment. How are airgapped network info protected?

[@danielkrajnik3817]

this went from "I use Excel spreadsheets over any SaaS" to "I use NetBox even as ERP system" reeeally fast

[@korman2773]

Best IT teacher ever! ... One recommendation from a proud bald guy... I would recommend a head shave with standard Wahl clipper no attachments :)

[@robschn]

Awesome topic!

[@HiteshKumar-sp7ls]

Keith and Jeremy are great

[@jennyroohr6919]

Hey Jeremy! Question for you- Instead of manually entering new device information, can Netbox automatically scan and populate new devices?

[@Viatto]

It doesn't natively have scanning / discovery capabilities; however, some integrations provide that. That said, the guy who created NetBox intentionally built it as a manual system since no 'auto discover' mechanism gives the same level of detail.

[@AkashMishra786]

I have configured complete all installation step by step, but netbook doesn't appear in browser, it's showing unable to resolve, only one service having trouble that is supervisor, whenever I checked the status it's always showing fatal error, please help me

[@pppam]

Was netbox always free? Thanks, we will be waiting for the series.

[@Viatto]

Yep

[@ruchit8762]

Hi Jeremy, can it scan VM's or is confined to the physical infrastructure ?

[@FelipeTrevisan]

What are the differences between NetBox and PHPIPAM?

[@zdrgdr]

Is there an option to attach documents like .pdf .word to documented IP or to add additional information.

[@squirrellysiege8361]

We currently use Solarwinds Orion NCM. If I am understanding Netbox's capabilities correctly, how would Netbox compare to that?

[@icinosehacker]

Solarwinds better than netbox if you already have a license go ahead with Solarwinds

[@CZF-ci8uw]

You mentioned using it for your customers. Do you have a separate instance (container) for each customer?

[@Viatto]

No - our engineers document our customers to support them. Our customers do not typically have on-staff IT...and if they do, they're not interested in the network.

[@mubaraka9399]

Hi Jeremy , I am currently studying for my CCNA through your videos on Cbtnuggets , I realy like your videos as it is informatave and engaging , Can you please give me an alternative option for the Cisco SG300 and Monoprice switches you recommended for the home lab

[@mohammedelhassanhabiballa5700]

So long OPENNMS, long life NETBOX

[@kjakobsen]

I'm studying IT, and the instructors keeps emphasizing, document, plan build. In that order.

[@lwa.dev74]

Great concept 😇

[@richardsilver1591]

Being the "Central Source of Truth" is great, but only if you're starting from scratch. Not so great if I'm trying to work with a highly dynamic environment of over 15K devices. Netbox needs some sort of discovery engine to feed it. I'm certainly not going to get budget to have someone sit and key in all that.

[@Vinoth193155]

Love you Jeremy 😊

[@mfg3531]

hahaha cant believe it, i just randomly searched for netbox and clicked the first link. Then i thought, this voice sounds very familiar, is this Jeremy from CBT nuggets CCNA course vids? Must have been 5 years ago i watched those vids.

[@Viatto]

Good to be heard again ;)

[@qnmx]

Thanks, Jeremy!

[@65gtotrips]

Do we download it via GitHub❓

[@ShadyNetworker]

You can. Check out the install documentation. I use the Github repo to upgrade the install.

[@rhysjones8140]

Netbox looks great, but install guides don’t work at least not on Ubuntu aws and after hours of trying and reader how I’m not the only one finding this problem

[@Viatto]

Correct. That is why I created this video ;-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3mwiY2mjdV3rMU

[@Subn3tMask]

Jeremy, will this replace the need for PRTG?

[@Viatto]

No - it compliments PRTG (documentation, not monitoring) and can auto-create monitoring in PRTG if you tie it into the API.

[@Subn3tMask]

@@Viatto super cool, thanks. Looking forward to this series👍

[@ShadyNetworker]

+1000 for Netbox!

[@BlindPigBluesBand]

It’s a great tool!!!!! No more spreadsheets 😉

[@Viatto]

Absolutely!!

[@brofarix]

please demo netbox

[@Subha-d1b]

Awesome :)

[@ejhirschberger]

This can replace my 2,000 AUTOCAD drawings!

[@robertkerr229]

This one seems mostly talking, less than a minute of demo. I'll check if there are videos that continue this one.

[@nicolasbassano3697]

YESSSS!!!!

[@Andrei-bl3gl]

My company has been using RackTables for several years.

[@MichaelJacksonOfficial2017]

Net box obunga

[@andrewwright804]

this looks exactly like zabbix

[@marklowe7431]

I'm amazed you're allowed in with a camera.

[@Viatto]

“Allowed”...hmmm.

[@quebirt]

How long did it take everyone to figure out this is a sales pitch? I'm ashamed. I watched over 5 minutes of it. Never been pitched a free product this hard. But then it DOES tie in to the plug.

[@HGAOHC08]

You are just telling all this to sell the Services from network to code company....

[@Viatto]

Actually, I'm telling it because it's interesting and useful for a network engineer. Network to Code just elected to sponsor the video. I'm legally required to tell folks that.

[@climbeverest]

dude!! you wasted almost 2 minutes and still no info on netbox??

[@1967mdavis]

so a whole video talking about what something is and then dont even show the product? thumbs down for wasting my time...
