Joe Panettieri's Eye on Cisco Cisco Partners Converge In Miami The NFL. The New York Times. Universal Studios. Cisco Systems. Those are strong brands with little in common -- until you read the agenda for Cisco's Partner Velocity forum, which kicks ... Jeff Doyle on IP Routing: What about a volume III?
When Cisco Press approached me in 1996 or so about writing a book, they were a pretty new operation and they left it to me to choose the topic. So I chose the plum, "Routing TCP/IP," which originally was supposed to be one volume. Halfway through the project my editor and I both realized we couldn’t squeeze everything I wanted to cover in a single book so it evolved into two volumes ... . Wendell Odom's Cisco Cert Zone: Preparation strategies for the CCIE R&S lab exam
In the last two posts, I've talked about the benefits of certification and building a roadmap to passing the qualification exam for the CCIE R&S (or for any track, really). In this post I'll focus more on preparing for the lab exam. But first, let me differentiate studying for the qualification exam compared to the lab exam. Dheeraj Tolani's Cisco Routing Switching Essentials: Securing Cisco devices
So far, we’ve discussed securing your devices by implementing passwords on your console, your aux, and your VTY. We’ve discussed using SSH rather than telnet for security purposes, and we’ve talked about using “enable secret passwords” on your accounts. In my last article, we discussed disabling protocols like CDP for security purposes since it gives away too much information about your network. There are still many other things covered in Global Knowledge courses that you can do to secure your network. Michael Morris From the Field: Network design process
I had an interesting e-mail discussion with a man from Germany this week (let's call him Hans). Hans has very good technical experience working at a German service provider. He has a lot of hands-on experience troubleshooting and supporting networks. However, he's in a new job now as a pre-sales design engineer focused on small to medium enterprises. So, not only are the networks different, so is the role. Jamey Heary: Cisco Security Expert: Cisco releases 4Gbps IPS 4270 appliance

NEW: Author Expert: Mark Lewis: Top 10 reasons why IPsec VPNs fail
As an independent consultant, I am often asked to be a ‘fresh set of eyes’ and perform a network assessment. This sometimes involves an examination of an IPsec VPN. During discussions around an IPsec VPN deployment, I occasionally hear a variation of the following: “Yes, we have an IPsec VPN, and it is configured to use strong cryptographic algorithms. So it’s absolutely secure, and you might like to spend your time on other elements of our network rather than wasting your time examining the VPN.” Joe Chapman's Network Training Edge: The line and the LAN
Depending on the person - or provider - you ask you may get different answers as to what types of services are supported in a 'metro ethernet' environment. Fortunately, the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) has gotten together the leading providers and manufacturers in the industry and has built a cohesive list of the products, platforms, standards and services which should constitute a great starting point for anyone looking to get into this area.
