Can Cisco reinvent its lagging videoconferencing business?

I was bored so I did a bit of Cisco LACP

Worton Tech

My first time of configuring a Cisco network on site at a company in Manchester went well when they had nobody who could do this at the drop of a hat. I said « I can do this » and so I did. I removed the Extreme Networks infrastructure around site and then implemented a Cisco infrastructure with HA using LACP trunking and HSRP and other layer 2 protocols. This was then integrated into an MPLS network which I offered my assistance with.

Hey I’m not even Cisco trained but I have worked for years with many different hardware vendors in networking.

When I approached my LACP section I decided to do this video.

I hope this helps someone

Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Google, Metaswitch, Ruckus… and the Unintended Consequences of NFV

Peter Jarich

It’s been a good week or so for virtualization in the telco network.

Yes, virtualization is top of mind for most service providers and telecom equipment providers circa mid-2014. And, yes, our own survey data points to virtualization as a priority; our latest inquiry into service provider back office investments puts NFV as the number two investment priority. Specifically, however, a handful of recent virtualization-focused events and launches tell an interesting story when you connect the dots.

NSA and Snowden – A Year On

My HomeLab: how I did it – Part II

It's just about networks

Everything is setup and cabled.
Time to plug the console cable (at least, for the initial setup), and prepare the switches.

1) Port mapping
First of all, I’ll report the port layout of my various switches, to make the configs easier to read.
My Breakout switch has its interfaces configured as follows:
– port 24 is the uplink to my pc
– ports 13-16 are dedicated to OOB setup
– ports 1-12 are dedicated to « break out » the traffic coming from the PC, to the real switches
INE books I’m using contemplate 6 routers connected to real switches, an each router has either one or two physical interfaces to be connected. For maximum symmetry, I assume EACH of the six routers should have TWO interfaces connected to switches.

Switches 1-4 are configured as follows:
– port 24 is dedicated to out-of-band management, via telnet (if you use a recent-enough switch…

How To Secure Your Organization’s Mobile Devices

Cisco Canada Blog

Today, cybercriminals and Canadian business leaders share a common challenge: both are trying to figure out how best to leverage Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) and mobility trends to further their operations.

In fact, IDC Canada recently released a report on Canadian mobile habits that revealed Canadians urgently need help to secure their devices.

In the words of IDC Analyst Krista Napier: “The results are in, and they don’t look good: many Canadians are not practicing safe mobile security. But it’s not because they don’t think it’s important, it’s because they are unsure how.”

So how can business leaders ensure that users not only get the personalized, productive experience that they desire but do so in a manageable and secure way? They want to allow mobility and BYOD, but need to manage risk and maintain compliance and security in the face of cybercriminals.
