    Whenever I had to mount a larger device or something a little unwieldy we used to make a ty-wrap sling to bear some weight. One hand on the device, the other to tighten the sling and lift it to the desired rack position. Done that with Cisco switches and routers, Sun servers and other devices.

    To easily rack the switch in an empty rack like this. Use a shelf mounted upside down in the slot below it. Then you can just slide switch in. Much easier than a 2nd person holding it.

    Hello, I recently watched your previous video on configuring a switch, and I just finished this one as well. The content was exceptionally well delivered, and I truly appreciate the effort you put into creating such informative content.
    I was wondering if you could share some insights on what things one should focus on or study to pursue a career as a network engineer or in enterprise networking. Your expertise would be immensely valuable. Hoping for your response.

      Hello there!! Thank you so much for your amazing feedback. Are you currently studying computer related courses? The things you need to focus on with networking are the OSI model, network devices and configuring them, topologies, and different IP address type. If you're not studying now, you might wanna check out Network+ cert. It provides you with the fundamental knowledge to learn

However, I am a bit confused on how do I proceed in study further and secure a job in the networking field. Your guidance would mean a lot to me.

      A tip I would give if you wanna be certified is go for the vendor certificates because they are industry recognized like CompTIA, CISCO, Linux, AWS, VMWare etc. Those are also the certifications that companies are requiring compared to the training you get from Coursera , Udemy.
      Also if you are starting in IT, go for the fundamentals first like CompTIA A+, Network+ , Security+. They will provide you with all of the foundations and will also cover the basics of the different areas like Network, Security, Virtualization, Hardware, Software and more.
