Many many thanks to you PowerCert Animated Videos, because your explanations and break downs are a big help in preparation for my System and Network Admin Certification and please be kind enough to let me wish you all the best before i drift away a bit from subnets and ask you about topologies and your respected opinion on how we decide which topology to use when building our networks are there some rules or is it decided upon a size of network or something else completely and what guidelines should one follow when creating a network for lets say 30-50 hosts? Once again thank you for all of your hard work and effort put in your videos and for the assistance regarding my question,best wishes

That Was A Good Fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you!

Looking forward to a video about subnetting one day!

At 14:50 you didn't show or explain if the networks shown all have the same subnet or not? They wouldn't right cause they'd still be able to talk to each other then?

Same. Blew my mind when he talked about how the /24 means there are 24 1s in the binary notation

Same my Teacher was explaining how to do this and it went right over my head. But this individual was amazing in explaining it

Excellent break down thank you

yeah

Sounds like a crappy network course then.

stop going to school lmao..whole internet teaches you in 1 month all the stuff school tries to teach you in 1 year

​@@trigotima4685The facts of this statement

exactly same here

really?

WGU?

I am currently taking IT courses now and I majorly agree with your comment. Watching a lot of these videos explains all this stuff much better I think because I'm a visual learner and my classmates even wait for my response to discussion questions cause I explain it as best possible as the videos along with giving the link to where I've learned the videos. 👍👍👍👍

Been IT for almost 20 years, I hate it. If you want a future in IT, get into military and do IT there, get all your certs, have your degree by them, and get a job using Skill bridge. This is of course if you are in your 20s…

Thanks for watching!

Totally agree!

Agreed 100%

The old Cisco flash video game was the one that helped me back in the day.

Agree 👍

Did you have to have a cert for that position starting out?

Instead of lol a thanks would have been nice

How did you get that job if you don’t know this stuff?

​@@Zed0086In EU yes,but who knows where this person came from

A fine example of being a good talker. You talked your way into a career. How’s it going for you now? 😂

I see the subnet mask as a binary window unto the IP address.

Couldnt agree more. I kept scratching my head with much much longer courses that are very well respected. Watched this and he brought me easily to that Ah ha moment. I was like , why has no one else tried to explain it so easily

@@user-eq6uj4uo7g my thoughts exactly. I'm less than 4 weeks from my CISSP exam, and this video helped me a lot. I watched it a few times, made my own math on random examples, all in an effort to reinforce the knowledge and retain it. I retain knowledge best when I understand the logic behind something. Good luck on your journey!

One thing that I could not for the mental health of my instructor get past, was the "1's" part and coming up with the subnet mask value. I understood putting the "1" under the bit value position (kind of), but I couldn't understand the rule to know what positions to use/mark. Like "why not start at the lower end?" that I failed to ask him at the time. I couldn't make that last hop to relating _that_ specific action, to the end value of the subnet mask value. Another instructor was opposite us overhearing my instructor try to explain from a dozen different ways when he blurted out, *"You count the number of unbroken ones in a row."* 🤯 It was literally that last little piece of the puzzle to bring everything, concerning the subnet mask subject, together in my head.🤦 That memory is going to stick with me for a while.

Amen

Very true

he didn't say that

I passed the CompTIA A+ Certification credentials in 2003. I don't remember any of this stuff. 🤣

It's great.

Exactly!!!

Glad to hear that

@@PowerCertAnimatedVideos I'm in the same boat. I studied IT a decade ago, and subnet masks have always been like the dark arts to me. This video clearly explains how they work in a way I wish my instructor had all those years ago.

This is an example that nothing is really that complicated if you learn from a great educator, and unfortunately few teachers have that skill. I remember in high school geography friends from another class used to always excel better in that subject and seemed to grasp concepts easy. Towards exams our usual teacher wasnt there so they put everyone under one class. That day my mind was opened and I realised sometimes you not dumb, its just that you havent been taught right. The teacher truly explained things in the most practical way that made everyone just get it

@Claude Belanger Sometimes it's not just pure overthinking it's just that someone has made it seem more complicated that it actually is, causing others to overthink and fail to grasp.

Thank you :)

I thought I was the only one!!

@@andrewalonsi same!

Me toooo..

Me too

Same with me!

Yeah! Same here, i don't feel that the instructor explains it well enough so i always comes here to youtube.

Okay, thank gawd I'm not the only one who felt like this.

Omg me too! Glad I'm not the only one who thought the same. I feel so much less like an idiot. Thanks lol

SAME! I'm learning to use their stuff as a guide to what to study since I'm new to IT.

Great to hear!

Who?

Glad to help...Thank you

Glad it was helpful!

I agree

👍🏽

Thank you kindly!

Glad it was helpful!

Much appreciated!

Same!

I'm here as well from that course! Lol. I just needed it explained more graphically than they did in the Google course.

Mine is in a week, thank you very much 😉

Nah mine is in 2 hours lmao

Did you pass yours? Mine is in 7 hours.

Naah broo, just 4 hours

Mine is in 25 minutes

Glad you like them!

Good video but jokes about subnet masks make me angry.

@@jimjones3516 seems like ur a joke ur self...(joke sory no offence)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Boom! Not actually a team....just me.

@@PowerCertAnimatedVideos Dude... that's amazing. Fueled by coffee? As a video editor I totally appreciate the amount of time you must spend on all the detailed post-production elements that many probably don't notice.

Thank you. It's a lot of work and a lot of coffee. :)

Thank you.

Good tip in choosing CIDR over Class A/B/C. BTW, don't you mean to say "using Class ***C*** is not enough (256 < 1000)".

Glad it helped!
