Introduction to Show Networking Hands-On Workshop
This two-day, introductory hands-on workshop, based on John Huntington’s book Introduction to Show Networking, explores the basics of networks and how they work in show systems such as lighting, sound, video, and even stage machinery. Basic networking concepts, IP addresses and assignment methods, subnet masks, low-level network operations and physical topologies will be introduced through lectures and then explored through hands-on labs done on participants’ PC or macOS laptops. Network device control will be explored, and other topics like VLANs, multicast, simple routing and broadcast storms will be demonstrated in group exercises. This class counts for ETCP-recognized training.
In this workshop, the material is introduced and explained through lectures and then explored through hands-on labs and group demonstrations. Ideally, participants will read Chapters 1-4 of the Introduction to Show Networking book in advance, but this is not required.
