All right, welcome back, everyone. Now we're going to get into switch port configuration. Now I know some of you that have taken the CCNA course with me already know about switch port configuration because we've done pretty much everything in there. Okay, not everything, but pretty much everything. But we got a couple more things that we're gonna go over. All right, these are the topics, we're gonna discuss Ethernet concepts, alright, and the technology behind various forms of Ethernet media, meaning the actual cabling, or the ports that you can use.
So one of the things that we're going to get into here called sfps. When we get there, we'll talk about it, how to connect their switches and different devices to them. All right, the actual physical cabling is important because you don't want to have a network that's going to have you know, running cat five, cat six, or maybe you're running gigabit somewhere or 10 gigabit not awful, but it could be a backbone somewhere. So you need to understand how your cabling your network, and which will be better for your situation. Due to the traffic, obviously, switch port configurations, we'll get to see how we can change different things like full duplex, half duplex, change it to use, you know, 10 megabits per second 100 megabits per second 1000 megabits per second. And that's what you're using to make sure our ports that way port security, all these different things that you can do on a port and take a look at it.
And also we're doing a Power over Ethernet as well. The storing Connect, this is something I don't even know why it's in the ccmp. But okay, discovering your devices. Alright, we've done this as part of your new CCNA was part of your old CCNA right CDP Cisco Discovery Protocol. We're going to go do the lldp the link layer data protocol. Why?
Because it's not proprietary anymore, anybody can use it. So you can see who's running while you're looking at it there. I'll show you the differences between one or the other. But that's what we'll be doing as well. Okay. And finally, like I said, Power over Ethernet, we'll take a look at it, it's not that major section that oh, my God just need to look at certain things just like the section here, when it comes to connecting devices.
Now we're going to get into certain tables with, you know, the microns or the fiber, you're not going to get asked that. Okay, just understand that it will be nice to have fiber, just like you know, it will be nice to use Power over Ethernet, you know, with your IP phones or whatever device, they could run power over the internet. Well, I'll give you an explanation, I guess, dispel the mystery of what Power over Ethernet is, and the very basic things that you need to do on the switch. So you can go ahead and get it to work. All right. Why?
Well, that's that. I'll see you in the next
