Managed Ethernet switches are technically superior to unmanaged Ethernet switches due to the “bells and whistles”, or additional features which they provide. However, it is important to note that managed Ethernet switches, with additional features, are more complex and require network administrators to be properly configured. Network administrators may choose to simplify by adding unmanaged Ethernet switches, which can play a vital role in their network. continue »

Let Curt Carlson, esteemed Product Manager at Transition Networks, talk you through another FREE self-paced, networking training seminar.

Networking Basics for Cable Installers and Electrical Contractors was originally designed for Cabling Installers and Electrical Contractors. However, the overall intent of the presentation is to give those who might be relatively new to data communications, a basic understanding of what makes up a typical network. Which means, anyone who is interested in the topic is welcome to take advantage of this FREE self-paced seminar.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a popular protocol for network management. It is used for collecting information from and configuring network devices such as servers, printers, hubs, switches, and routers on an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

Large networks with hundreds or even thousands of nodes are difficult to manage without a large staff to monitor every computer. SNMP, which is widely used in local area networks (LANs), lets you monitor network nodes from a management host. You can monitor network devices such as LAN switches, routers, servers, workstations, even printers. continue »
