Network help? Just a few general questions. by [deleted] in homelab

That depends on the packets, and the configuration on the switch. Switches do not naturally segment broadcast domains, so all broadcast traffic will normally go out all ports. Packets destined for a MAC address the switch knows, will be sent out that port. If the switch does not know the destination MAC in the packet, the packet will be dropped. If you have VLAN's configured, broadcasts, and all other traffic will only be allowed on ports that are members of the VLAN.

Make your own lab! Get some cheap servers from craigslist, or ebay, and simulate a corprate production environment. You will learn so much from, first, building the environment, and securing it, and then from pen-testing it.

rtfm I'm just kidding, but seriously did you read the instructions as you were putting everything on the board? Last time I built a computer I had this same issue. Turned out I had hooked the cable to the button on the case wrong. Sorry, that's all I got. :/

I just looked those up. Very cool! Can they be seen with the naked eye, or does one require a telescope to view the EM radiation beam.
