Here is a page full of links to images of various network devices and related items. These are images from the Air Force Academy and from the former Computer Science Machine Room in Lindley Hall as well as the Luddy Hall IDF, MDF, and Data Center. Please take note of the image size before you begin viewing the images.

Here is a PDF version of the Binary Logic Sheet I used in class during Meeting 15. It covers all those basics.

Here is a plain text version of a series of exchanges with previous students regarding non-classic subnet masks. This is not a review of all the binary logic we discussed in class (see above link for that). Instead, it is a compilation of questions that have come out of that discussion and been useful to previous classes.

Here is a PDF version of the slide used in our meetings on Friday, November 22 to discuss the steps involved in a login from IF0006 to the Quartz HPC system.

Here are the slides for Deep Dive Packet Analysis with Wireshark presented by Mike Pennacchi at Interop 2018. Interop is one of the premiere annual conventions for network professionals. You should be able to understand a good bit of this and be in a position to learn from other parts. Hope you find it useful.

Here is a "What is a Gigabit per second?" calculation I presented during Meeting 21. Hope you find it useful.
