Network Rack Installation – Start to Finish!

I was running out of room in my old network rack, so I decided to purchase a new one. In this video I go through a full network rack installation to move my test network into its own rack. It’s always a work in progress, and never turns out exactly how it was planned, but that’s half the fun!
