About Me

Well, hello there! Welcome to NodeConnect. My name is Zach. Are you new to the networking scene? My road to networking was sparked by a short-lived interest in electrical engineering. Yes, pun intended. My focus has shifted from that field, but it led me down another path: how data travels from point A to point B (to point C, point D, etc.)

I graduated with a Bachelor's in Information Technology. Along the way, I learned to work with different hardware and software, earned leading industry certifications such as Network+, started my own home lab, and wrote notes in a way that helped me connect concepts more clearly. I hope this will do the same for you.

I started NodeConnect as a blog to explain foundational networking concepts. From my research, I have found it helpful to begin somewhere, and where else is better than starting at the backbone of information transfer. You will see networking concepts explained, my successes and failures, helpful notes, and my home lab chronicles.

Are you a seasoned professional? If so, welcome as well. I hope this site offers a fresh perspective, but I also look forward to learning from you. As you know, the industry is always changing, with more emphasis on utilizing AI, automation, and the cloud. Please do share your experience!

No matter who you are, thank you for visiting. Feel free to reach out. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or just want to share some subnetting secrets. I'm all for it.

IP in Practice: IPv4 Workarounds

IPv4 has been dealing with burnout since 2011. Yet we work it to the ground by finding workarounds. Why? The Internet as we know it still runs on it. IPv6 is not as pervasive or widely accepted as IPv4 and often requires adding new infrastructure or reworking what is already in place. So far, the alternatives have extended the use of IPv4 beyond its intended design.  How have we continued to stretch IPv4? If you are studying networking, building a home lab, or managing large-scale networks, these techniques should ring a bell. This post will revisit four current IPv4 workarounds.  Workaround #1 - Private IP Addresses Instead of every server, device, and client getting their own public IP address and taking up space, private IP addresses provide reusable address spaces for local networks. These addresses are not directly accessible via the Internet. Routers will drop external traffic trying to directly access them.  To the outside world, only public IP addresses are...

IP in Practice: The Need for IPv6

 It is time for IPv6. Not just for our network infrastructure, but for this series. The IPv4 section has come to an end, and now it is time for a deep dive into IPv6. More than ever, it is time to consider systems that can handle heavier workloads, more devices, and fewer address limitations - AI agents, IoT devices, edge computing. This post will examine why we need IPv6 and why it is an important network solution.   Why do we need IPv6? We need more space. IPv6 literally increases the address space exponentially. The IPv6 address space is 2 128 total addresses, 3.4 followed by 38 zeroes. Technology is no longer limited to servers, office computers, and mobile devices. Today's systems integrate AI infrastructure, edge computing, IoT devices, cloud networking, virtual machines, and more. Simply, more devices mean more space.  We need more scalability. As more devices connect to systems, administrators need to consider not only the number but the distribution. System...

IP in Practice: Classless Addressing & Subnetting

 In the previous posts, we looked at what an IPv4 address is and how it is used.  Subnetting builds on that foundation and plays a major role in IP addressing, but many learners find it challenging at first.I was in the same boat at first. Now, it is a breeze. What has helped me, and how can you fly through subnetting? In this post, we will specifically focus on how classless addressing and variable length subnet masking is implemented within networks. If you would like to learn more about subnetting or need a refresher, see my other posts Subnets: Key to Network Organization   and Subnetting Tips .    Classful vs Classless What's the difference between these two addressing schemes? Let me ask you this: Have you ever tried on clothes and never could find the right size? It is too big or too small. The store doesn't have your size. What if you can get it tailor-made just for you?  Now imagine you could design a subnet the same way you design a custom sh...
