Get a hands-on experience of what it is like to attempt the v.4 Routing and Switching CCIE Lab exam! You will perform a Troubleshooting section of a Routing & Switching CCIE lab under the guidance of CCIE instructors from NetMasterClass, the developers of the Cisco 360 Program. Your Troubleshooting lab will be graded and a lab report with an answer key and Mentor Guide support will be provided. Session will end in Q-n-A’s.

The session introduces the new CCIE Data Centre expert certification. The objective of the session is to give an overview of the new program including written and lab exam details in addition to guidelines on preparation and resources, exam tips and other test taking strategies. The session will also provide sample questions for both written and lab exams which will be followed by a live hands-on demo covering topics covered in the lab exam. This Session provides an invaluable face-to-face opportunity to discuss exam strategies and test taking techniques with the CCIE program team.

This all day session will focus on the products and technologies of the Unified Computing System along with connectivity to LAN and SAN networks. The attendees will not be required to be experts on UCS but should be highly interested in learning the core technologies leveraged within the Cisco Unified Computing System and how it supports a highly dynamic and programmatic control of the Compute, LAN, and SAN infrastructure. This session will begin with an introduction of the UCS components and features to bring the Network engineer, Storage admin, and Server admin up to the latest knowledge of hardware and technologies available with UCS. We will continue with configuration deployment best practices and protocol operations of connected compute, LAN and storage. We will also discuss design best practices for deployment and application uses, including a review of pertinent security topics inherent to a converged system. This session then wraps up with Management and troubleshooting methods for the new and advanced uses of the UCS, from XML to CLI navigation. This session will include live demonstrations on UCS throughout the day to enhance the learning experience.

The Data Centre technical seminar describes the network design considerations to build state of the art networking infrastructure for today's Data Centres. This Technical Seminar consists of key several technologies, which cover Data Centre switching, blade server integration, fibre-channel switching and virtual networking services, with special attention to the topics of 10 Gigabit to the server, virtualised server environments and Unified IO. 40GE and 100GE Ethernet technologies are also discussed, including how we can architect a Data Centre using this latest technology. It is assumed that the attendee is already familiar with well-known best practices of classic Spanning-tree designs and fibre-channel designs. The focus of this seminar will be on the latest technologies most of which can already be utilised in today's deployments and some that will become available over the next 12 months.

Enterprise video collaboration is longer a nice-have, but a must-have. This 8-hour technical tutorial looks at the best practices for enterprise video / TelePresence deployments. We'll cover all aspects of enterprise video collaboration deployment, including: Call control – CUCM with VCS, protocols, endpoint support, interworking, B2B external calling, 3rd part Dial plan – E.164, URI dialling, blended addressing, route pattern/lists, SIP route patterns, configuration Large-scale deployment using directory VCS / SME Conferencing - rendezvous, ad hoc, scheduled Conductor-managed conferencing on VCS and CUCM, flexible licensing Management and scheduling – Provisioning, phonebooks, WebEx OneTouch, and Prime Collaboration integration Endpoints – different types of endpoints, features / capabilities.

This Techtorial is a deep dive into the Cisco Unified Wireless Network (CUWN) architecture and fundamentals of design, deployment, and operations. We will look at the key building blocks of the CUWN, including the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) and Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) protocols, current and next generation WLAN controllers, and the Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) with Cisco Spectrum Expert. In this session we will also look into the CUWN architecture – the core technologies that drive and enable mobility services (combination of enhanced security, location, voice, and guest capabilities) – and how to design and deploy. We will also spend considerable time on the latest in 802.11n developments and how Cisco customers can use this exciting new technology to increase predictability and reliability in their WLAN networks and enable more throughput. We will also look into Cisco CleanAir technology to detect, classify, locate, and mitigate sources of wireless interference to optimise network performance for mobility applications and deal with high density deployments.

Cisco is bringing together the best of wired and wireless networking into "One Network" with Unified Access. Come to this session to get comprehensive knowledge of system architecture, product components, and deployment recommendations for your campus or remote branch access network. This session introduces Cisco's new Unified Access solution, compares and contrasts it with existing Wireless deployment models, and provides an in-depth review of the new Unified Access solution including client association, roaming modes, high availability, and Quality of Service capabilities. Don't miss the opportunity to get first-hand knowledge of upcoming innovations in the wired-wireless access layer.

This hands-on lab will provide students with an opportunity to configure basic IPv6 features on dual-stack hosts and routers, and analyse their functionality using Cisco IOS configuration, show commands and debugs. Lab exercises are designed to help students get a jump start on configuring and troubleshooting IPv6 basic features and get hands-on experience with how IPv6 can be deployed in today's networks. Students will get a chance to gain hands-on Experience IPv6 Addressing, Stateless Address Auto-configuration (SLAAC), Neighbour Discovery, Tunnelling, HSRPv6, Static as well as Dynamic routing protocols like RIPng, EIGRPv6, OSPFv3 and BGPv4. The lab will be divided into two parts. First half (2-3 hours) will consists of lectures around addressing, neighbour discovery, tunnelling and routing. Second half (4-5) hours will be for hands on labs. There will be optional labs on IPv6 Services at the end for those who are interested. Topics will be (6PE, 6VPE & IPv6 Multicast).

IT organisations are facing a challenge caused by the exponential growth of consumer devices that are brought inside the corporate networks. The spectrum of BYOD adoption varies greatly across businesses, from restricting consumer devices all the way to embracing the productivity gains by supporting enterprise applications across mobile devices. All spectrums of BYOD adoption require a comprehensive solution that ensures the security and reliability of the network while addressing the multiple challenges that the BYOD trend has created.

This session will provide you with expert advice about the technologies and architectures that are needed in order to allow the end users the freedom to bring their choice of device to work while still affording IT the controls to ensure security, network reliability and data loss prevention. Topics to be covered include secure unified access (wired, wireless and remote), policy, mobile device on boarding and management. A combination of lectures and live demos will provide you with the information needed in order to build an effective Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) solution.

Areas covered include:

This technical seminar will cover all aspects of the Cisco Jabber Collaboration Solution from the Desktop Clients on Windows and Mac and Web browsers to the Mobile Clients on iPhone, Android smartphones and tablets.

The session will start with an overview of the clients and capabilities and then move into a detailed look at the overall architecture and how it applies to the different Jabber clients, through detailed infrastructure review, to all aspects of the collaboration back-end including functions like secure remote access.
