I've been studying for Networking certifications and a degree lately, and watching your videos has been so helpful in seeing things tangibly. Just wanted to say that I appreciate your videos!
Great content as usual. I subscribed to your channel a couple of weeks ago and watched many of your videos. Really very high quality content. I really appreciate it.
Why take the time to rip out the network cable from the old office? The business paid for it, but it seems like more of a hassle than it is worth to recover. Plus it is a nice bonus for the next tenant when everything is pre-wired and ready for the next occupant, like you found in the new office. You still need to test/qualify the runs, but it is easier than running all new runs to begin.
It is common in the lease agreements around here that you remove the cabling you added. This particular property manager is pretty firm on that, I've worked with them before and I know what they like, so I got the space looking the way they want. I'm with you, if the wires are done well, I would prefer to just move in and take them over, it would be a great thing.
They messed up the static IP info, that was one, and then they had a typo in their VPN config on either this end or the corporate side, and then there was some issue with the link aggregation group they had for switch uplink.
If you look at the old panel, it is one of those oddball angled ones and we wouldn't have been able to close the cabinet door with it, so we moved it over to a flat version. The keystones being refreshed should help with longevity as well.
@@tciproductions Thanks for the reply! Makes perfect sense :D The old PP looks like the corning everons we use in our DC, cool looking but not much more to them than that
Another great video. I'm upping my wiring and neatness on projects because of your great instruction. Do you ever request a copy of the config for firewalls before you start? I'm guessing it would have a lot of great info but then again the customer may resist due to the possibility of passwords or other confidential info. I'm learning FortiNet architecture now and really like it.
I have asked on occasion, usually in complicated setups, if I think the info would help me help them. The request has usually been met with suspicion so unless I know them personally I don't really ask any more.
I wish I could post the email thread and zoom calls about this kind of thing from people that don't know about gear like this. I took one look and was like, yes, move it the day of, can do. And then so much email was generated to confirm and reconfirm and waste time.... I could never do office work.

Thanks for these Network install and teardown videos I find them very entertaining.

Awesome, thank you!
Great job 👍
What is the little white tube you use to pull cables equally length? Is it just something you buy at the hardware store?
Would love to see full videos instead of bits and pieces

Some offices/buildings require that the old cable be removed and anything done to the unit be reverted upon leaving.

Someone WILLINGLY bought HP network gear. That's wild.
😂 I had a similar thought!
Love watching your installs! Thanks for the great content.
hp’s should be replaced sooner vs later. IMO.
One of my least favorite switches, no doubt about it.
Great work, I’m curious what was the issue with corporate access, was their fortinet device not getting internet access?

Quic question, why did you replace the patch panel and keystones in the new place?

All the stress and extra manpower isn’t worth moving this hardware in such a rush. That ubiquity hardware ain’t that expensive.
Let's hope he will be paid for this Network Rescue! 🤔😜

what ubiquiti hardware? those are hp switches and a fortinet firewall
@ oh sorry it looked like ubiquity. Either way, it would not have been worth the stress and effort.
