    Nice summary. You touched here on the difference between a Layer 3 switch and a router. I think a full 5-10 minute video on this topic would be helpful. Questions might include: Why would I choose one vs. the other? Advantages/disadvantages relative to the other?

      There is none. Every device that is called "router" is doing layer 3 routing and forwarding. Back when I was young, the term "switch" really just meant layer 2 and especially to distinguish it from "hub" which didnˋt have a proper forwarding mechanism based on destination MACs but simply forwarded frames to every conncted device.
      This video muddles the differences quite a bit.

    • @Asto508
      @Asto508 Před 3 měsíci

      @@broodjenoodles Layer 3 is referring to the Network Layer which is very commonly the IP layer in most networks and forwarding IP packets is what has been called "routing" since the dawn of time because Layer 3 is the first layer where you actually can have multi-hop routes that require determining the actual path through the network, hence the name Network Layer. Layer 2 is point-to-point only. NATing is basically just a hack to solve the limited 32bit IP address range in IPv4. Even if a router doesn't support it, it's still a router as it handles Layer 3 traffic.

    Great video, thanks for clearing this distinction up. I have heard of the two types of switches at work but never understood the final details. My only question (or critique) would be if you extended the comparison table at the end to compare the difference between a Layer 3 switch and a Router. You mentioned that Layer 3 switches can't do everything that a router does, so cliffhanger!! Plus it would make for a good review of what exactly a router does. Thanks

    By the way - consider making a video on port isolation too - that could be useful knowledge too. As an example clients on a network shouldn't normally be able to have intercommunication. That way you could make it harder for an intruder to penetrate workstations. It might not help protecting the servers, they have to be protected by other means.
    If you have port isolation between clients and have the servers on a different subnet with firewall protection of the clients so that infected servers can't reach the clients then you have an improved technical solution that could create a stronger protection against ransomware worms.
    I hope that I'm not too complex now though.
