This introductory hands-on workshop, based on John Huntington's book [Introduction to Show Networking](https://www.controlgeek.net/bookinfo), 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, general network operations and physical topologies will be introduced through readings and lectures (in person or online depending on the class version), 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, simple routing and broadcast storms will be demonstrated in group exercises.
The One Day In-Person Workshop with Self-Learning Pre-Work requires preparation in advance of a full day of hands-on, in person labs. The Two Day In-Person Workshop covers the same material with in-person lectures and has no pre-work requirement.
This is the ONE DAY In-Person workshop and requires pre-work.
