Being in Network industry for more almost 20 years… that is the best explanation and demonstration for Ethernet technology

I got into cybersecurity in 2020 after transitioning from another career. I learned a lot about networks and how they work. Often times I found myself learning about things I sort of knew just from growing up in the 90's with the internet and troubleshooting for gaming etc. Once I got into the career as a SOC 1 etc. I rarely found myself needing to know much about this kind of stuff as we worked with SIEMs etc. and ingesting traffic wasn't my part, more so analyzing it. Not so much today after 4 years I have learned a great deal, but still hadn't seen EXACTLY what you were showcasing today in this video. It's one of those sort of Eureka moments of oh yeah, I remember seeing this network equipment in my library when I was 10-12 in 2001-2002 or so. Really helps not only to learn more about what I "know" but also showcases and fills in the blanks on some of the things I did growing up. At first, I gravitated more to the programming and threat detection side of the house, but networking is becoming more and more of an interest the further I go into the career. Keep making videos like this. Well done as always.

Every time I see that David has made a new video, I really want to watch it as soon as possible. I like your content, thank you )

I find that seeing the devices makes it so much easier to understand 😀

David, I don't have a timestamp where I learnt something new, that's because I'd list every minute of this video! Thanks so much for what you do, you continue to inspire by staying true to your mission - Educate. Motivate. One of the off-putting aspects of learning computer networks is dragging oneself through tons of theory about things that are abstract, obsolete or both. Your walk through takes out that drudgery. Watching this video had me reliving the early stages of my own career, I remember sitting on a dial-up connection and waiting forever for Cisco learning library docs to download. After all that, I'd never seen one of these devices! It would be terrific to see you put together more such long form videos, they make learning so much more fun. Thanks again!

95% of what you explained and did was new to me. I’m trying to build my own home network. Thank you so much for this!! Saved it and will rewatch!

@14:30 - this ‘physical’ vs ‘logical’ topology was something many never understood. Best described by the token passing protocol as I recall. That makes it clear between the physical media and the ‘ticket to talk’ approach…

I like how you show the older equipment. I started with computers in the late 1980s (DOS) but my first networked PC was not until around 1994. I wasn't into networking at that time, but I think it was Ethernet so I never really had any experience with token ring.

I'm from Germany and we only learn American English at school-but for you, I learnt British English. In every minute of the video, I learned something new. Thank you! Love your Content

Thanks David I've been struggling to visualize this for a while books don't do it justice. Keep up the good work.

Great to get a compressed Network 101 as a refreshing of learnings from the 1990ies. Well done.

Mr. Bombal This is one of the best videos you have ever made! The way that you utilize visualizations of the devices, helped me understand the total functionality of each device. Moreover, I am a visual learner and most individuals that are KZreadrs in the epic hacking area do not utilize visualizations , as you Have done in this video with the exception of network chunk. as each device was explained, you utilized effects that lit up each device which added to the visualization learning technique that most people are looking for when they are seeking to learn on KZread channels! Again, I have learned more watching your new techniques, and I have learned in six months of attempting to learn on other channels! Please continue the visualization techniques! Excellent job!

Great video David! I love how you explain things in great details! Love your channel! Best wishes❤

My god David, I literally was studying for a COMPTIA exam yesterday and was going over network topologies. And i was like "Is there a mistake in the book. How do multiple NICs connect to the same cable." I actually thought that in a BUS topology u used switches or something. Now it makes sense. THANK U !!!

that was the best lesson of Ethernet stuff i've ever seen, because it was perfectly explained and showed "hardware evidence" - and all for free! thank you very much, David!

Congratulations on a fantastic class regarding CSMA-CD technology. Back in the 1980s, I was a field engineer who would occasionally rent an HP TDR (Oscilloscope & signal injector) to troublehoot 10Base5 or 10Broad36 networks before I eventually became an instructor for Novell Networks. Your example is really great, complete with live demo, I've never seen better!

You make computer networking fascinating. Good content, thank you sir.

Thank you very much David for the video. It has brought back a lot of memories when I started my IT career in the early 80's. Thank you for taking so much trouble and finding working retro hardware. Since the AC was never adequate in our LAN environments the heat from the PCs would somehow dislodge the BNC connectors at the rear of the cabinet. One had to keep tightening them regularly. 😅. At this juncture I am unable to join your forum. So please excuse. Regards. Paul

It's really cool to see the bus topology (something I've only seen in books) being used with real equipment. I had also never seen a hub in use. It'd be interesting to see the ring topology with real equipment if you haven't made a video like this about it yet. Thanks for making this video!

Wow, this video kind a cleared all my CCNA theory I studied especially the BUS part. Back then it was all pictures. Thanks

a lot of this i haven't seen in a long time and/or never seen it but in Textbooks. Thanks for this, plus the neon blue text

Best networking 101 video I've seen. Made me nostalgic to see those 50 ohms terminators again. Wish I had you as my teacher 30 years ago David! Keep up the amazing work. Take care

This really clarifies my understanding of how switches work. Very informative, thanks david

Love this educational videos. Very well done David. We need more of those in the near future 🔥🔥🔥

I get much more knowledge from David Bombal channel. It is best to learn from books

Ok David, I see you friend!! 👏👏 nice video!

from the start the visualization of the equipment is where I found new stuff, diagrams in books and everything learn is 95% just a line weather its a bus a star of a ring or a mesh ... . it is just lines and seeing it helped me understand what goes with what in which ways. ty

Thanks so much, it is really brilliant to see all that devices not just in books, but in real life. Amazing stuff

VERY helpful content David! I've a much better understanding of topology & capabilities of the various network devices.

This is real cool! Thank you and keep it up!

21:58 was actually really mind-blowing to see a bridge as a device. I knew about the hassle with hubs & bridges but i only saw this in theory. Now it makes way more sense why they mention bridged connections so much. Also really cool to see David is starting from the humble beginnings with windows98, i remember using a 98 in elementary when my dad had a windows xp. What a great time line put together within 30 minutes :D Imagine that this was a actual thing not too long ago it is mindboggling to see the progress made from careless devices with insecure protocols like Telnet. Whoever had the idea of encryption with SSH & HTTPS is kudos for them. As always lovely to watch a video of David for a longer period

Great video David, thank you you you are super:) Glad to have more videos about Wireshark and Wazuh.

A very informative video Although not much new, but very well structured and definitely helps understand everything

I just learned about most of this stuff in my CompTIA course this week so it was awesome to see it all layed out practically. Really helped me get my head round it coz I don't know how outdated things are or not. Thanks David! Daily inspiration to get my IT career cooking with gas!! :) (Never seen a bridge. Do they still bother using them?)

This was very informative, as I'm a moe visual learner and I've always wanted to see physically what I saw in text books at uni. Outlining the meaning of 10Base5 and those kind of small details is also very helpful. Amazing video!

Really helpful for me, more videos like this!!

Interesting perspective to show the evolution of networks. Seeing the old hardware was a blast to the past, but these technologies really did build on one another and the video was a good practical demo of that. Enjoyed it. Seeing the bridge in action was a first for me. I recall going from hubs to switches but don't remember using any bridges although having read about them.

Great video. Regardless of what I may or may not have learned, seeing all the hard work you put into this video is impressive.

My first experience of a network was at one of the emergency services where we had 10Base2 as I now understand. I can also see why there were so many upgrades to equipment over the many years that I worked at another employer. I'm always baffled by much of your videos, but learn little bits. They always seem to be very long, but I understand that it's a complicated field. 👍

From start to finish i'v learnt alot, great content! Thank you!

You're a hero David

physical vampire taps were an o.g. technique of hacking and phreaking. basically one could intercept whatever was being transmitted through a cable, depending on context. this included but not limited to landline pots as well as ethernet cables. one preventative measure was to use a system of metal conduit piping to prevent any quick tampering of exposed cables along any publicly accessible areas. this also led to some to look into intercepting transmissions through other means which does not require you to physically cut the cable, such as figuring out how to read the electrical emissions from cables that were not properly shielded, or even the background noise from grounded cables (defcon talk about water pipes or ac ground), and other ways data may be intercepted (van eck, keyboard num lock or scroll lock). in a way, vampire taps have changed to various means of intercepting different kinds of network traffic through physical means. this would be an interesting topic to explore on your channel. the basic concept remains the same but it is applied creatively through other means. sniffing is often taken for granted since a lot of it is done through software now, but the hardware or physical side is less known and would be interesting to explore the possibilities… various techniques of not physically introduced into the network and does not disrupt the connectivity but can monitor it without negotiating an ip address or make itself known.

I’m very impressed with the way you explained all these concepts. I actually learned a lot from this simple video. Thank you!

Not even 50 seconds in the video and I learned something new!

Good day, David. I agree with you on the 'seen' aspect. I definitely learned something. Not only that, I should re-run your video to better grasp the concept of a spanning tree! Until now, due to the book, I had understood that a spanning tree was a device added to a router or a setup that prevents loopback or storm broadcast. If I got you right, we can set it up using the command line. Am I right? Furthermore, where can we find all the equipment shown in the tutorial to build our own lab and test-and actually grab it all?! Or can we use a software bridge, router, or tap? Many Thanks!!!

Thank you David for the blast to the past! But to be completely honest I think your talents and efforts would be better served teaching modern day technology and topologies. I appreciate your videos and content!!! I am biased because I have been in networking long enough that I remember a lot of the older technology/topologies and I prefer to learn about newer stuff. I still have and Ethereal book on my bookshelf lol. I actually have some of the older tech you showed in a box somewhere probably in my garage. Keep up the good work! Thank you

Thank you David for this video "along memory lane", perhaps you can indicate here in a video with the difference between, for example, 10base2/5 and "token ring". Because we now use CSMA/CD protocols and "token ring" is an exception to that. But it also has other shortcomings and does not mean that it would be better than Ethernet. The similar protocol that also uses a token is FDDI as far as I know, so it is certainly not a technique of the past. You often see old techniques come back in a new guise.

Great video! Thank you for sharing this interesting look into the different topologies and devices!

​@davidbombal not seen all of them in practice but I've only been in IT for 13 years. I started with dumb switches and layer 2 switches and above. But it's always interesting to see where we've come from!

you brought me back to the past, using 10base2 installing novell 3.12 servers all over the country.

Wow. I learned a lot from that. I now realise why i have the network slowimg down after a hub connector. I use a asus router that looks similar to the router you held up at the end (4 switch connections and a routed connection) that I would like to understand (how to use) better. Are you comg to do a part 2 to cover routers, or have you already covered routers somewhere else?

I would love to see more content like this one Sir. I appreciate yours.

Benjamin DeVoe 33:06 Ethernet Tap was something new. I coundn't help think of the wiretap as a physical intrusion detection monitor for network security monitoring. Can it be modified or configured or programmed to run scripts similar to a switch that would alow for more comprehensive of specialized network monitoring capabilities. If I didn't use the correct terminology or communicate the concepts accurately, I apologize. This was a wonderful refresher class for me and it has been years since I worked with networking on this level. Thank you for the video. It was incredibly informative and the explanations were easy to understand as well as very clear and concise.
