Segment Routing is the latest technology that replaces MPLS and is based on source routing. Segment Routing provides complete control over the forwarding path from the source node by encoding the path in the header of the packet. Segment Routing is implemented using extensions to the native IGP routing protocols, it does not require any additional protocols and removes unnecessary protocols simplifying the network. Segment Routing runs natively on an MPLS or IPv6 data plane and can coexist with LDP, making for a painless migration. A special thank you to Clarence Filsfils and Kris Michielsen from Cisco Systems for providing the original content for the slides.

Cisco's Crosswork Network Controller or CNC is a Segment Routing SDN Traffic Engineering Controller for transport networks. CNC can create engineered Transport paths using SR-TE parameters and provision and link these paths to VPN services. CNC performs real-time network optimization based on current network conditions utilizing the Crosswork Optimization Engine.

This playlist is recommended to be used in conjunction with part 1 of our Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab using the Cisco ACI APIC simulator. These videos will show the students how to perform the labs in detail and answer any other questions not covered in the lab itself. The videos will cover: a tutorial on VXLAN 101 and ACI 101 basics, initial configuration of the APIC 5.0 controller via APIC console using the APIC simulator, APIC 5.0 switch Fabric Discovery via the registration process, APIC 5.0 GUI discovery, and Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) Networking. The Cisco ACI Part 2 Lab and playlist completes the learning by covering how to use a physical ACI fabric with a data plane for testing connectivity. Please be aware that the videos are based on ACI 5.x, and the lab is 6.1, so there will be some GUI differences. The content and configurations are the same and we will be updating the videos once we do a major upgrade to the labs.

This video series provides a comprehensive overview of optical networking, exploring fiber optics, WDM, DWDM add/drop multiplexers, and optical transceivers. Participants will gain insights into light propagation, network applications, WDM technology, and transceiver performance, enabling them to understand fiber optic cables, network architectures, and make informed decisions about network deployment and optimization.

Optical networking and Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) have long been the technology of choice for transporting large amounts of data between sites. New technology trends like 5G, autonomous vehicles and smart cities rely on optical networking as a transport foundation. The purpose of this training is to help you become familiar with the basic building blocks of an optical network and gain an understanding of the key benefits provided by optical networks.
