What is the difference between subnets and VLANs? Both of these are used to separate or break down a network into smaller networks. Subnets separate networks physically, while VLANs separate networks virtually.

    As a network engineer I can say: yep, that's how it works at a high level. Most blogs/courses/videos/etc. go really far into how subnets and VLANs work and often talk about packet tagging, subnet masks, etc., and forget to just give a high level overview of what the stuff does. These videos are short, concise, and accurate. I recommend them a lot to people looking to learn this stuff for the first time as it helps to know what the technology does before you get lost in the weeds on making it work. ;)

    Sir, you are a blessing to everyone who want to upgrade or refresh their IT skills. You break complex topics in such a simple explanation and graphical representation. Thank you 😌
  • Believe it or not but I was wondering what is the actual difference between Subnets vs VLANs and your video comes in exactly right moment!
  • I've done a couple courses studying for Network+ and watching your videos in 1.5 speed is the BEST refresher of knowledge. Very thankful you made this content for us!

    As a 30 year networking veteran I both love and cringe the simplicity of your videos. They are accurate but necessarily incomplete in the information they portray (which you state directly at the end of this particular video). I am extremely passionate about this field and hope that your videos inspire people to go deeper down the rabbit hole and learn how PCs, networks, firewalls, etc. work rather than treating them like a "magic black box" . I admire your talent both in simplifying topics that would otherwise be very daunting to beginners as well as doing fantastic easy to follow animations. /salute

    I looked and looked for videos on YouTube and never have I run into a channel that explains IT this well while keeping me entertained. I keep rewatching the clips and I'm not even studying for the CompTIA exams lol.. very well broken down explanations!
  • @vijaybaidya
    Being honest, this is the only video which I was looking for from last 3-4 years. You described everything in easy way. Thanks and expecting a video on Basic Network Concepts.
  • This guy is a savior. Thank you sir for every thing. And if you do a video about subnetting again i would appriciate it.

    I'm literally in the middle of studying subnet masking for my CCNA 200-301 right now. This little extra clarification of the two could not have been at a better time. Thank you so much!
  • Best timing... I'm studying for my ccna. I watch some videos on subnetting and vlans but this this video info that I didn't get from other videos... Thanks so much.
  • @teomcam
    I can’t find words to thank you enough, sir. We all really appreciated and acknowledged your great effort to make learning these important things easier.
  • @elielberra2867
    Thank you so much for all the videos you have posted! They are super clear, the animations are really helpful. I feel that I am finally starting to grasp the basics of networking. Thank you!!
  • @extremelydave
    As you said, you can only learn so much from one video....this just scratched the surface but touched on the major points. Another fide video Mr. PowerCert!!!
  • I definitely recommend this channel to everyone I know who wants to learn networking. It's easy to understand, visually we can see each topic. Thank you so much sir.
  • @StopWhining491
    Your animations make technical concepts much easier to understand.
