Why take this course?

You heard the words Spanning Tree, now it is time to understand what it is all about. We start with the very beginning, discussing how L3 uses a mechanism to prevent loops. We quickly find out that L2 does not have this mechanism and why Spanning Tree is needed. Then we enter the world of Spanning Tree. Exploring how spanning tree forms it topology and the election processes.

From there we enter into a step by step process, understanding how Spanning Tree starts to build its own topology. We learn about the Root Bridge, Root Ports, Designated Ports, Blocking ports, and so on.

If you want to really understand Spanning Tree, this is where you begin. I assure you that after you watch this 2.5hr lecture and take the 5 quizes, you will have a solid Spanning Tree Basics foundation.

This was a class that I ran and recorded. I took that footage and edited just for Udemy students. Please let me know how you like this course, for there is more to come.

The course was great. The quiz at the end has a significant number of questions that were not covered or are not relevant to the course.

Clearly explains the STP concept. Was a very good refresher course making the concepts more stronger which will help me professionally.

Excellent Work By The Instructor. Continually reviewed while providing excellent lab functions. Great refresher, but covers the data so someone starting out can also benefit.

Good job. I think, when the written failures in Quizzes are correct I give them 5 stars. The course is an absolutely highlight.

Does a good job explaining basics of STP. Very minor complaint is that he tends to repeat. Not necessarily bad as in reinforces learning.

His language/slang/dialect is a bit distracting, but will probably be comfortable for US East-Coasters. He is definitely passionate. He seems to know his stuff. Has a slight stuttering/word-selection problem. I plan to finish the video to get his full perspective on the topic. His particular flavor might cause me to remember an addition something on the topic.

Awesome, I have viewed number of video lessons on STP and this by far has been the best. Detailed explanation and easy to understand. All other videos I have viewed left me not understanding completely how STP works or was just confusing. If you really want to know STP this is the Video to watch

buon livello, ma adatto a fruitori con ottime capacità di comprensione dell'inglese. Console apparati con caratteri troppo piccoli. Sarebbe gradito il testo del discorso visualizzato in modo sincrono con audiolezione

Supply download's and this would be 5-Star!!!! As is, need to view video sometimes several times to get the idea. *.PDF's would create great references.

I base my review on comparisons of Mr Martin's work compared to Chris Bryant, Laz Diaz and others offered here at Udemy. All 3 are very good but Mr. Martin is just a bit better with Bryant and Diaz a tie and a close 2nd. keep up the good work lad.
