@ab2tract 10 місяців тому
if the cable is run through walls, ceilings...its really annoying to test even if you DO have another cable of that length...as ethernet becomes more ubiquitous in homes and replaces rj-11 and coaxial its going to be as equally difficult to troubleshoot the cable from the server room to the workstation as it is the ethernet cable from the modem/switch/hub/AP to another room in your domicile.

I worked as a contractor for a company where I developed an internal (software) tool with similar capabilities. It ran on almost any ol' rooted Android phone with a $10 USB-Ethernet adapter. Netool is pretty cool, NGL. However, it feels redundant. I am 110% sure they can make their app interface with the local device instead (if it's rooted) in no time and just sell the software.

My guess is they run fairly flat on L2 with only minimal segmentation as they probably don't handle any PCI on campus. That just leaves them with their Campus (stuff like WiFi Gen Access), Accounting & HR, Prod (mostly going to be video and content delivery where speed is king), and Backup as the mostly segments on their network. I would be shocked if they have more than 4 VRFs with the infra they have. I'm not saying they 100% need to be running leaf-spine with EVPN and OSPF underlay... but it would definitely help them scale better long term to get the best practices in place.
@jjann54321 10 місяців тому
@@TheBardOfTheRedHand I can't go into details because I can't remember them all. But on their last "networking overhaul" series they couldn't figure anything out from the previous configuration (they hired an networking contractor [that they couldn't get to come back]) so they deleted all of the configurations (VLANS, port security, etc.) and essentially put all of their "enterprise class" switches in "dummy mode." Their single router (that's a beast of a server) is running pfSense with next to zero configurations. They need connectivity for their internal users and bandwidth speed to impress their viewers. They couldn't care less about security, segmenting, etc. At least that's the impression they've presented. I can only hope after all the clowning and meme-ing for content, they hired a networking engineer to do a little "housekeeping" off-camera.

I use the 1st Gen version all the time. It is finicky at times, but it is sooooooo helpful and such a timesaver. We have more expensive cable testers that also provide similar information with the exception of the most important information--THE SWITCH NAME. Just that feature alone makes the Lite version worth it. But being able to verify the VLAN, the domain, etc, etc makes the tool indispensable when you are testing connections from the end-user/device end of things. I didn't realize they came out with a version 2 so will have to look at that. While applying changes via the netool pro sounds intriguing it wouldn't be helpful in our case as we have a documentation procedure and centrally administer our switch infrastructure but I can see where that feature would be a real time saver in a less controlled environment like supporting SMB customers.

I don't really fully understand this stuff, because I'm more of a hands on learner, but this stuff does look very interesting. and everytime I see tech that is new to me, I get excited to learn about it. :D

A TDR, Attenuation and crosstalk cable testing mode would be insanely cool. Also a PoE Sink and Source mode to quickly check PoE components! Then this device would completely wipe the floor!

I've got the non pro version in my pocket right now. It's can't configure the switch, it's more of a read only, but holy hell is it nice to be able to get switch, port, and vlan info on the fly when your trying to trace ports down.
@st33ldi9ital 10 місяців тому
Agree, if it had cable test (link, speed, quality, voltage) and wifi analysis or mapping it would be awesome. I feel like the Pro version should have that and it's own touchscreen. Make the pro a little tablet itself and the Lite without. (To those who mentioned Pockethernet, thank you) Yes, it needs similar features to the Pocke.

I have one of those I use at work to diagnose network problems or just check my ports.

so this thing is like Nmap and wire shark with a GUI and makes it configurable? OMFG.... I NEED THIS!

That is a pretty sick little device. Really wish it had been around when I was level 1 tech support.

Not sure about switch management, I don't totally allow my access ports a path to the management layer, a lot of other stuff is pretty neat

I miss using my Fluke DSX2. They are expensive yes, but if you have customers with a demanding SOP and you are required to *certify* the cables/terminations and provide an output (log) for certification, Fluke is king. You'll make your money back x10 when you have the right gear, certifications and charge your customers accordingly. I understand that is out-of-scope regarding the premise of this "DIY techie" video. Jake makes it sound as if this product he's reviewing is even in the same zip code as the Flukes he's mentioned. Completely different products for completely different use cases. It's like comparing a microscope a telescope if you're intent is viewing red blood cells.

We use the first gen Netool, and it's easily my most used tool for my job. I'd like to try the 2nd gen to see the difference.

@learntostrafe 10 місяців тому
My previous IT job had flukes where you had to check out with the manager first. It happened after an ex employee left a $5000 fluke at a customer network closet and people were trying to find it for a few months.

5:26 that's why you should have configured a big office via NAC Profiles. Then you don't have to fiddle around with such a toy.

We would normally use a laptop with an Ethernet/RJ45 interface to do this type of troubleshooting and diagnostics. This eliminates the need for a laptop for basic things.

Campus and Enterprise designs are moving to software defined, which makes this moot. Furthermore, network engineers use laptops which have this functionality. Useful for people who don't know networking, but honestly don't see much use for this

Also uploading to the cloud? Yeah this is not a professional device, any audit will flag that as a data sovereignty issue (and what happens when the company goes bust?)
