Free CompTIA Network+ Training: Load Balancer and Bandwidth Shaper
By Ed Liberman ⋅ February 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment
In this video, I’ll go over two networking devices that you’ll need to know about before taking your CompTIA Network+ certification exam. You’ll learn about the differences between load balancers and bandwidth shapers. Load balancers are generally used when there is more than one form of communication available. They help to divide communication evenly between [...]
Free CompTIA Network+ Training: Media Converters
By Ed Liberman ⋅ February 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment
Learn what a media converter is, how it works and how it differs from Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU).
Free CompTIA Network+ Training: CSU/DSU
By Ed Liberman ⋅ February 21, 2010 ⋅ One comment
In this CompTIA Network+ training video, I’ll go over what Channel Service Units (CSUs) and Data Service Units (DSUs) are, what they do, and why they are used. A CSU/DSU is a hardware device that converts data frames used on a LAN into data frames used on a WAN. Typically, a CSU/DSU will be used [...]
Free CompTIA Network+ Training: Basic DHCP Server and DNS Server
By Ed Liberman ⋅ February 21, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments
In this free CompTIA Network+ training video, I’ll define basic DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) servers and DNS (Domain Name System) servers. I’ll also explain where you might find a basic DHCP server and why they are described as “basic” DHCP servers rather than simply DHCP servers. Finally, I’ll explain what a DNS server is, [...]
Free CompTIA Network+ Training: Wireless Access Point
By Ed Liberman ⋅ February 21, 2010 ⋅ One comment
Continuing our free CompTIA Network+ training videos on the various network devices included in the exam, I’ll explain what a Wireless Access Point (WAP) is and how it is similar to, but different than a hub. Once you’ve finished this video, be sure to continue your CompTIA Network+ training by learning about other networking devices [...]
Free CompTIA Network+ Training: Firewall and Proxy Server
By Ed Liberman ⋅ February 21, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments
In this CompTIA Network+ Training video, I’ll explain what firewalls and proxy servers are and how they work. You’ll learn about their core functions and how they are different from one another. I’ll show you how firewalls control what data is allowed in or out of a network to protect private networks from external intrusion. [...]
