Connecting 2 or more switches on a computer network is a very common functionality. By connecting 2 or more switches together, we gain a larger amount of connectivity and benefits on a network.
One of the first things that occurs from connecting multiple switches together on the same network is that you increase the size of the broadcast domain (more nodes are connected together). You also create a larger physical distance on the network.
Hey it’s Clint Garrett (Ace Networker) and I’m going to show you IPv6 explained simply and effortlessly to help you understand it and understand it was created to keep us from running out of IPv4 IP Addresses on the internet across the entire planet.
What if we run out of 32-bit IP addresses on the internet? I mean, there are only so many.
What will we do?!!

Ok, so we’ve talked about IPv6 protocols and IPv6 in these other posts and videos (I’d invite you to watch them as soon as you can). In this short post, I’m going to show you IPv6 tunneling explained as simply as possible and not only why we need tunneling but how it’s basically used in the current networking world.
[Read more…] about IPv6 Tunneling Explained (Simply)What is the difference with Dynamic IP vs Static IP? Well if you don’t know, I’m going to clear that up for you in this short post!
When you first start learning about computer networking and IP addresses for all of the components (computers, devices, printers, servers) on a network, you quickly start hearing the terms “Dynamic IP” and “Static IP” used repeatedly. So what are technicians and admins talking about when they use these terms?
[Read more…] about Dynamic IP vs. Static IPDo you need more bandwidth on your network devices but don’t have the bigger bandwidth interfaces on your actual network equipment that you can use?
Watch this video to learn all about ether channels and link aggregation (it’s basically the same thing) and how they can be used to expand your bandwidth immensely and make your network humm.
If you don’t understand ether channels and/or link aggregations on networking devices and why they’re used and needed by the end of this video you’ll have a complete understanding and knowledge of them and you can be the go-to expert that’s there when others are asking for help from YOU.

But what is it?
Read through this short post to see exactly what it is, how it works and what you need to know about it.
