Jeff•
Hi. Just wondering if the CCNA course is complete, and whether the content is actively updated?
Connected Dots Online•
Hi Jeff, the CCNA course is not entirely complete yet, but yes the content is being actively updated.
Gustavo•
Is the CompTIA Network+ certification included?
Connected Dots Online•
Hi Gustavo, the content covered here is more detailed than what's covered in the CompTIA Network+. I would say that there is not a one-to-one alignment with the CompTIA Network+.

Typing ? leads to an error but pasting it shows commands. BUG
Connected Dots Online•
Hello Greg,
Thank you for pointing this out. I suspect this is a bug that occurs on non-English keyboards. I will upload a fix in the next couple of weeks along with some additional upgrades.

This is great! I thought this project might be abandoned. It's great that this is still worked on. There are some spelling mistakes and stuff on the first course. But nothing major. I have now bought a sub ion because you stand behind this project so actively.
Frenie•
I like the layout of your courses. The visuals are very easy on the eyes and help cut down on the complexity when learning the subject material. Are you going to add ACL or any Port-scecurity modules?
Connected Dots Online•
Thank you for the feedback, Frenie. Yes, I intend to add ACLs and port security, but it will probably be a few months before those are added.

I appreciate the effort you put into these courses.
It would be great if all the courses were free. Now I am unable to access anything. Financial Prob

Fevzi•
Great resource, thank you very much. Worth more than every penny spent. Just a little comment: before routing basics, I think some course on tcp/ip and osi models and explanations of layers would be beneficial.
Connected Dots Online•
Thank you for the feedback, Fevzi. I will add a section on the TCP/IP and OSI models before beginning routing basics. In the meantime, if you could skip ahead to Course 7 - Layer 4 Protocols if you'd like a detailed discussion on UDP and TCP. (I do agree that an introduction to the TCP/IP and OSI models earlier would be beneficial.)

Hello! This is a fun and engaging way to learn. Thank you for providing this site.
Is there a way to reset the lessons and remove the checkmarks from certain sections for those who wish to start over or go back and relearn certain lessons?

Connected Dots Online•
Hi Landar,
Thank you for your feedback. Regarding your question, let me confirm that I understand correctly what you're asking. You can relearn any lesson right now. (Even if there is a check mark, you can still restart that lesson from the beginning.)
Are you saying that you would like to remove the check marks so that as you redo some of the lessons you can keep track of which lessons you have completed for the second time vs which lessons are yet to be completed for the second time?

Ok, I will look into adding that capability. No guarantees on when it will be available, but I'll attempt to get it in sometime soon!
Landar•
That would be awesome, thanks again!
Connected Dots Online•
This feature is now active. Look for the "Reset Progress" link just under to course title (above the list of lessons).
Amilton•
This is just one reason why you deserve to get paid for your work. I would have just ignored the guy since you can literally take any of the lessons as many times as you want as long as you have a sub ion. Check mark or no check mark... it literally effects nothing. What a dumb thing to complain about.
Anyway, I appreciate all the hard work you've put into this. I know that this is helping out so many people with their studies. You're a good dude. Cheers.

So I am currently taking a college course online "Intro to Networking". I am struggling, due to the extensive reading of each chapter and the never-ending vocabulary words to remember. I study 7 days a week and am at the point of burnout. I have been researching new ways of different types of learning, as I learn better by doing or watching. I came across Connected Dots and signed up. I am amazed at how well this website is put together and the depth of how it interacts with your brain. I highly recommend this for other out there pursuing their career in Networking. I would like to see this website expanded into more areas of different fields, like Cybersecurity. Thanks for helping with my future, everyone deserves a chance to learn new things.

I am a software dev and I always lacked an understanding of networking which always made me frustrated when working with server infrastructure. I was trying to learn it from articles but I never got out of this confusion until I found your site! Not only does it teach me networking such that I can truly understand it, but it also made me very interested in that topic and pushed towards cloud infrastructure development where I work right now most of the time! Absolutely amazing job with the course! I recommended Connected Dots to some of my friends and they have exactly same impression. Thank you for this golden content :)

Rohith•
Have a question from the first course(switching basics)
so after clearing the mac address table,we cannot view any entries inside the mac address table, but after using the ping cmd from b to d i got a packet loss,previously i noticed when we ping from a-d or any computer we would send and receive all 4 packets but now after using the ping cmd i just got 1packet sent and received what is the reason for this?

Connected Dots Online•
Hi Rohith... Great observation! The reason for this is that, the system triggers a "Control+C" from the computer that is generating the Ping after it receives a response to the first ping. This is simply to save time, instead of making you sit through the visualization of the 4 ping exchanges. (By this point in the lesson, you would have already viewed the exchange of packets between the 2 computers, so the Control+C is automatically triggered simply to save time.

Hello
I have a question on this topic;
1. How can you prevent the packets being sent to all computers on network incase it just get directed to one computer with a specific IP.
2. Can you differenciate between ARP -a and ARP -d how do the two work in terms of data movement.
Thanks

Hamza•
This is essential in order to fetch MAC Addresses of all other computers. The data being sent, and the recepient as well, both, should be clever enough to identify the destination/recepient in the first place. When packet is being recognised, it is sent back with a Physical address of that recepient's computer and hence MAC address-table is populated with an address and for the rest of the requests, the switch knows the address and can compare it data's destination address.
Hope this was of some help to you!

Quiverus•
I'd like to ask, what is a difference betweeen dynamic and static mac address? And what is the reason to manually add a static address into mac address table?
Quiverus•
Or in other words: when and why does someone add a static mac address to the mac address table?
Connected Dots Online•
Hi Quiverus, in general, today there are very few situations where you would need to add a static MAC address entry into a switch. One advantage of adding a static entry is that the entry remains in the MAC address table even after the switch is rebooted. In very rare cases you may have a device that mostly receives traffic (it may be some kind of a data collector) and does not send out acknowledgements or any other kind of traffic. In such a case, it is useful to manually add a static MAC address entry, otherwise this device's mac address may never get saved in the switch's MAC Address Table.
Quiverus•
Yeah, this data collector thing makes a lot of sense and in this particular case it is cruicial to add it's MAC address manually into the MAC Address Table. Thank You so much for the anwser! I'm so glad that You anwser questions like these, so everybody can understand networking even more and because of that, learning brings even more joy!
abexxs•
This is a great website to learn networking for newbies like me! Keep up the good work. After completing the courses, can you recommend any books to deepen the knowledge?

learned new things about switches and interfaces. great courses. any advice you can give me to start my network career and where i can train for CCNA?
Connected Dots Online•
Hi Labs, you can follow all the courses on this site to get started. Even though the content on the site does not yet fully cover everything required to pass the CCNA, it is a good start to get an in-depth understanding of the topics that are covered. I would recommend following all the courses on the site and using a book to cover the content that is not covered here yet. The courses on this site are a good complement to visually understand the concepts covered in books. Hope that helps!

I have had an issue where I completed the assigned task (answered the question correctly) during the "Cisco Switch CLI - Exercises" and the system would not move forward until I clicked on the hint and then answer. I have saved a screenshot if you need it. Otherwise this is an amazing learning resource. Thank you for all of your hard work!

We are working on an update to the lesson "Introduction to Cisco Switch CLI" as per Billy's suggestion below. We have already incorporated one "Activity Break" into the lesson and are working on incorporating 2 more of these. This should be ready in a day or 2. We will advise when the update is complete.
Billy•
That's awesome, thanks! I will definitely revisit that one in the future then.
Connected Dots Online•
Update: Activity Breaks 2 and 3 has been added to this lesson. We are working on one more.
Billy•
I've been taking these courses and enjoying them. Thanks for this resource! My one bit of feedback so far, I think it would be beneficial if in the "Intro to Cisco Switch CLI" there was a bit more of an interactive flow to it. Having a few boxes where it's explained and then you follow it up by doing it as well yourself would help to cement that knowledge. By the time I got to the exercise section I was scrambling through my notes and forgetting a lot of what I had just read.
Connected Dots Online•
Hi Billy. Thanks for the feedback. That is extremely useful feedback. We will modify that particular lesson to incorporate your suggestions. Please keep the feedback coming!

My internet connection got lost in a middle of a session and now I can't go on with the unit I was doing at the time

Hi Levin, please check your email for a message from us. Thanks!
Ric•
It would be good to be able to pick up where I left off when I resume a lesson. As it is now I have to scroll through previously completed sections.
Connected Dots Online•
Thanks for the feedback, Ric! This is already being incorporated into some of the newer lessons. It will be incorporated into the older lesson content over time.
