Networking | Routing And Switching | Tutorial 4 | 2018


Welcome to my 4th new tutorial of the series of networking. In this blog you'll the content about network switches. You'll learn about how to make a communication successful and secure in the same network (LAN) by using STP. As Spanning tree protocol (STP) we used in multi-switched networks. Why we use this protocol in multi-switched network etc.

What is Switch? 

A switch is an intelligent device used to connect multiple devices within the same network. The intelligence of is that it requires Media Access Control (MAC) address for communication and doesn't allow broadcast.  Let's understand the whole thing by a little example, consider there is a network having 3 end devices name Device-A, Device-B,Device-C connected with each other respectively with the help of switch. When a Device-A sends data to Device-C so that data will only forwarded by switch to Device-C not to Device-B.

What is Media Access Control (MAC) address?

A Media Access Control (MAC) address is 48-bit unique physical address given to network interface controller (NIC) or network adapter, for communication within the same network which is given by its manufacturer. It is made up of hexadecimal numbers like a1:b1:cc:ac:2e:f1.

What is STP?


STP stands for Spanning tree protocol which is basically used in bridge and switches to prevent loops when you have a redundant links in the Ethernet networks. If the loop is present in the Ethernet network so the whole network will suffer because there will MAC instability in the MAC table,  duplicate frames generation and so on. Let's move to the video for further detail.




Until Next time: 

Cheers, and enjoy the tool for your personal use testing devices, feedback and bug reports are appreciated.  I have another RF blog coming out shortly based on my friends research into hacking garages/gates and creating keyfobs.  I will post when its ready.

The Live HTML Editor



The Live HTML Editor program lets you write your HTML pages while viewing dynamically what changes are happening to your HTML page. The main purpose of this tool is to help HTML learners learn HTML quickly and easily while keeping an eye on what they are doing with their HTML page. It also helps developers in writing quick HTML lines to see how it will affect their HTML page.

This program can also help you visualize your inline and embedded CSS styles on fly. You can apply CSS styles and see them dynamically change the look and feel of your HTML page. Developers can test different inline and embedded CSS styles to make sure what will look good on their website.

Some of the features of this program are:
  •          Live HTML preview of whatever HTML you type.
  •          Supports HTML Syntax Highlighting.
  •          Supports opening an HTML file and Live Preview editing of that file.
  •          Supports Saving files.
  •          Support for inline and embedded CSS.

However this program does not support Javascript and it also doesn't support separate CSS files. This program is still in development phase and we might see support for Javascript and separate CSS files in the future.

If you are a student and want to learn HTML without having to install a bulky software that takes a lot of time to open and function, then this is a good option.

The Live HTML Editor is Free and Opensource project and has been written in Python with QT interface you can check out source from sourceforge.

Works In Progress

  A few shots of some of the things on the paint table right now. The giant mammoth man is from the Reaper Bones IV Kickstarter. The Van Saar gangers are from the boxed set by GW. The Pathfinder Goblin pyromaniacs are also Reaper Bones but not from the Kickstarter.

Barely started...

Still a good ways from finished.
Not really happy with the wash I chose so I am going to go back and redo that bit.
Plan to do the tusks last.

Closeup. Going for a black bodystocking with light gray armoured plates.
Energetic items are blue-green (eye lenses, power sources, high tech pony tails, etc.)
Some metals will be bronze, most weapons will be matte black.



Working on these not-really-all-that-little guys I realize how bad my eyes are getting.
A bit sad about that. Oh well, that's why I have a magnifier visor I guess.
