WEBVTT 0:00:05.460000 --> 0:00:10.760000 Hello and welcome to this presentation by INE of what is ethernet and 0:00:10.760000 --> 0:00:12.040000 why should I care? 0:00:12.040000 --> 0:00:14.740000 So in this thing I'm going to give you everything you ever wanted to know 0:00:14.740000 --> 0:00:17.480000 but we're afraid to ask about ethernet. 0:00:17.480000 --> 0:00:20.540000 So let's start with some of the course objectives just to give you an 0:00:20.540000 --> 0:00:23.100000 idea of what this course was designed for. 0:00:23.100000 --> 0:00:28.540000 So first of all, this course wasn't really designed to fall in a particular 0:00:28.540000 --> 0:00:35.440000 bucket of Cisco certifications, not just for Cisco CCNA or CCNP or CCIE. 0:00:35.440000 --> 0:00:37.200000 This is about ethernet. 0:00:37.200000 --> 0:00:41.320000 This is for people whatever level you are at currently in your studies 0:00:41.320000 --> 0:00:44.540000 or maybe you're not studying for a certification at all, you just want 0:00:44.540000 --> 0:00:46.260000 to learn more about ethernet. 0:00:46.260000 --> 0:00:47.180000 That's what this is for. 0:00:47.180000 --> 0:00:50.140000 Now certainly the stuff I'm going to teach you here is relevant at all 0:00:50.140000 --> 0:00:54.220000 levels of Cisco certifications but it wasn't designed to fall into one 0:00:54.220000 --> 0:00:57.320000 of those categories of certifications. 0:00:57.320000 --> 0:01:01.320000 So I devised this to provide you an understanding of the developmental 0:01:01.320000 --> 0:01:03.220000 history of ethernet. 0:01:03.220000 --> 0:01:07.020000 I don't know about you but if you're like me knowing how something started, 0:01:07.020000 --> 0:01:10.880000 how it was created in the first place, what problem it was designed to 0:01:10.880000 --> 0:01:15.160000 solve and then seeing how it evolved over time really helps me to better 0:01:15.160000 --> 0:01:19.360000 grasp how the protocol is today and how it got that way. 0:01:19.360000 --> 0:01:21.520000 We're going to talk about that. 0:01:21.520000 --> 0:01:25.580000 Give you some clear examples of the different ethernet frame format sizes 0:01:25.580000 --> 0:01:28.520000 and options. So we're going to go into what all the different fields are 0:01:28.520000 --> 0:01:32.680000 within an ethernet frame so that if you ever do a wire shark sniffer capture 0:01:32.680000 --> 0:01:35.680000 or something like that, you know what you're looking at. 0:01:35.680000 --> 0:01:41.060000 Going to go into the details of carrier sense multiple access collision 0:01:41.060000 --> 0:01:43.780000 detect as it pertains to ethernet. 0:01:43.780000 --> 0:01:48.160000 Certainly if you're studying for any Cisco certification, this is one 0:01:48.160000 --> 0:01:52.100000 of those things they definitely expected to know CSMACD and how it works. 0:01:52.100000 --> 0:01:54.980000 So we're going to get into all the gory details of that. 0:01:54.980000 --> 0:02:00.020000 Now we're going to recognize some high level differences in ethernet cables. 0:02:00.020000 --> 0:02:01.660000 Talk a little bit about cable structure. 0:02:01.660000 --> 0:02:05.040000 You know, what's the difference between shielded posted pair versus unshielded 0:02:05.040000 --> 0:02:09.400000 twisted pair. You know, what's the difference between 10 base T versus 0:02:09.400000 --> 0:02:13.740000 100 base TX and that kind of stuff and other things in here as well. 0:02:13.740000 --> 0:02:16.500000 So there's going to be other topics above and beyond just what we have 0:02:16.500000 --> 0:02:19.100000 here as our course objectives. 0:02:19.100000 --> 0:02:20.080000 So what's my agenda? 0:02:20.080000 --> 0:02:23.080000 So I'm breaking this up into a series of videos. 0:02:23.080000 --> 0:02:26.660000 So hopefully each video will be fairly short in duration. 0:02:26.660000 --> 0:02:29.700000 The first section will be ethernet overview and history. 0:02:29.700000 --> 0:02:34.380000 Following that will spend a detailed time on CSMACD. 0:02:34.380000 --> 0:02:37.900000 Talk a little bit about auto negotiation, which is something that happens 0:02:37.900000 --> 0:02:39.120000 in the background. 0:02:39.120000 --> 0:02:42.800000 Not really something you can influence, but if you're like me, sometimes 0:02:42.800000 --> 0:02:44.680000 you wonder how is this working? 0:02:44.680000 --> 0:02:49.680000 I might not be able to influence it, but what exactly is it doing to do 0:02:49.680000 --> 0:02:53.460000 this? And auto negotiation is one of those topics. 0:02:53.460000 --> 0:02:55.980000 We'll look at the ethernet frame structure. 0:02:55.980000 --> 0:02:59.640000 We'll talk about ethernet frame sizes and things like, for example, called 0:02:59.640000 --> 0:03:02.980000 Runtz and Giants and Jumbo frames. 0:03:02.980000 --> 0:03:08.880000 And then we'll finish up with ethernet cabling types. 0:03:08.880000 --> 0:03:10.860000 So prerequisite knowledge. 0:03:10.860000 --> 0:03:13.960000 Yes, I am assuming that if you're watching this, there is some really 0:03:13.960000 --> 0:03:18.960000 sort of low level knowledge that you already have under your belt to make 0:03:18.960000 --> 0:03:24.320000 use of this. For example, in one of my slides, I show the OSI model and 0:03:24.320000 --> 0:03:27.760000 I'm going to talk about where ethernet fits into the OSI model. 0:03:27.760000 --> 0:03:31.920000 Well, if you don't know what the OSI model is, that will be completely 0:03:31.920000 --> 0:03:34.160000 irrelevant to you, meaningless to you. 0:03:34.160000 --> 0:03:37.160000 So I'm hoping you know what the OSI model is. 0:03:37.160000 --> 0:03:40.800000 The concepts of encapsulating and decapsulating data. 0:03:40.800000 --> 0:03:44.040000 In other words, when I just said that, encapsulating and decapsulating 0:03:44.040000 --> 0:03:47.040000 data, were you thinking, huh, what's that? 0:03:47.040000 --> 0:03:51.720000 If so, probably want to pause this and go to that topic within a CCNA 0:03:51.720000 --> 0:03:56.520000 curriculum. I'm going to be using terms such as bandwidth and bits and 0:03:56.520000 --> 0:04:01.100000 bytes. Once again, I'm hoping that you understand what I just said and 0:04:01.100000 --> 0:04:03.420000 it didn't just fly over your head. 0:04:03.420000 --> 0:04:07.980000 And also understanding at a real high level sort of conceptually how binary 0:04:07.980000 --> 0:04:12.740000 bits, how ones and zeros can be used to represent data. 0:04:12.740000 --> 0:04:17.580000 Now, there's lots of different ways that we can use binary to encode data, 0:04:17.580000 --> 0:04:20.900000 but just sort of a general idea that binary is just a code, right? 0:04:20.900000 --> 0:04:24.920000 Whether I'm looking at an image or whether I'm looking at text or whether 0:04:24.920000 --> 0:04:29.580000 I'm listening to an audio file, electrically, that's all converted into 0:04:29.580000 --> 0:04:32.640000 electrical signals of ones and zeros. 0:04:32.640000 --> 0:04:36.280000 And my system and the other receiving system knows how to convert that 0:04:36.280000 --> 0:04:41.120000 back into an image or an audio file or some sort of text. 0:04:41.120000 --> 0:04:42.900000 So I'm hoping you're familiar with that. 0:04:42.900000 --> 0:04:46.860000 So this actually is taking place as a live course right now. 0:04:46.860000 --> 0:04:49.160000 So if you're watching the recording every once in a while, you'll see 0:04:49.160000 --> 0:04:51.880000 me go back to the live learners just to see if they have any questions 0:04:51.880000 --> 0:04:54.740000 and answer any questions that they might have. 0:04:54.740000 --> 0:04:58.120000 Now, if you're watching this as a recording and you did not have a chance 0:04:58.120000 --> 0:05:02.640000 to watch the live version, by all means, you can feel free to submit your 0:05:02.640000 --> 0:05:03.840000 questions at any time. 0:05:03.840000 --> 0:05:08.720000 And you can see here, here's my email address, kbogart at i&e.com. 0:05:08.720000 --> 0:05:10.860000 Also, if you want, you can follow me on Twitter. 0:05:10.860000 --> 0:05:14.160000 And that's where I post tweets about things like upcoming courses I'm 0:05:14.160000 --> 0:05:17.460000 going to have, upcoming live boot camps I'm going to have. 0:05:17.460000 --> 0:05:21.160000 We're going to have a CCNA boot camp here in the INE office just next 0:05:21.160000 --> 0:05:25.740000 week. And also, you can follow me on LinkedIn, where I also post things, 0:05:25.740000 --> 0:05:29.040000 post some documents or just give status updates about what's going on
