Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), coined by Gartner in 2019, is a solution that blends networking and security into cloud scale architecture that optimizes end user performance and improves security for an organization. With the Zscaler and SD-WAN integration, you can rapidly gain access to cloud-delivered security in minutes. This market leading API automation makes it very fast and agile to deploy and manage the network and security environment of hundreds or even thousands of remote sites.

Cisco NGFW Foundation Lab is a capability of the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the fundamental features of the Cisco Secure Firewall solution. The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

Experience Cisco AI Defense in an interactive Capture the Flag (CTF), designed to showcase how Cisco is securing the future of GenAI.

Cisco's Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator (NDO) allows an ACI policy to be managed with a single pane of glass to for the whole environment. The key to NDO, the administrator is able to create consistent security and connectivity policies across multiple physical, and virtual sites. This lab will go through all the steps necessary to bring up an ACI Multi-Site environment from two existing ACI fabrics.

The Cisco Secure Access lab is your chance to get your hands on Cisco's SSE solution. During this lab, you will look at data loss prevention, unified policy, zero trust, and the benefits of quick udp internet connection. Get started today!

Cisco Catalyst Center takes a software-delivered approach to automating and assuring services across your campus, WAN and branch networks. Based on an open and extensible platform, Catalyst Center allows you to build value on the network, so you can streamline operations and facilitate IT and business innovation. This lab closely matches the Cisco SD-Access Foundation lab.

This lab empowers participants to transform manual processes into scalable practices, leveraging dynamic inventory and Ansible workflows for enhanced efficiency and consistency. Embrace a source-of-truth-driven approach to streamline operations and align automation with network intent.

Organizations have relied on IPv4 for decades, but transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 is necessary to accommodate the growing number of devices and the increasing demand for IP addresses. Most organizations have exhausted their IPv4 address space. Transitioning to IPv6 allows network engineers to future-proof their networks against the inevitable exhaustion of IPv4 addresses.

This Sandbox environment features a pre-configured network topology designed to showcase the diverse capabilities of the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN solution. The incorporated set of components within the lab topology include Controllers and IOS-XE WAN Edges (Catalyst 8000V), all running on 20.12.4/17.12.4 code.

The Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Foundations Lab is a capability of the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the fundamental features of Cisco's SD-WAN solution. The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

This lab is the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1, and after completion, the student can launch Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 to complete the entire lab. The lab uses the ACI virtual simulator based on ACI Version 6.1(3f), emulating an APIC, 2 leafs, and a spine. Part 2 uses a shared physical ACI fabric to complete the policy and verify data plane connectivity. The ACI Virtual Simulator was needed to demo the building of the ACI fabric from scratch, bootstrapping the APIC, adding the spine and leafs, fabric discovery, and completing VMM integration. Since the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab, Part 2 is a shared on-demand environment, to decouple the APIC build process from the APIC policy creation. Due to limitations, the virtual ACI fabric is a control plane-only simulator, and no data plane testing (Ping, SSH) can get done for validation. Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 uses a Tenant inside of a physical ACI, and data plane functionality can get tested ( Ping, SSH)

Nexus Dashboard provides a centralized platform to simplify the deployment, management, and extension of VXLAN EVPN fabrics. In this hands-on lab, you will start by onboarding devices, then configure vPCs, VRFs, and networks to enable segmentation and tenant connectivity. You'll also implement external route advertisement, route leaking between VRFs, and explore the roles of Border Gateways versus Border Gateway Spines. Finally, you'll integrate multiple fabrics into a Multi-Site Domain, building a scalable, distributed architecture. This lab demonstrates the value of Nexus Dashboard in providing centralized visibility, streamlining operations, and simplifying complex fabric management across sites.
