Cisco and WWT: Delivering Seamless and Secure Networking Solutions for the Modern Enterprise

 

Cisco and WWT deliver seamless and secure networking solutions for campus and branch environments, ensuring that users enjoy uninterrupted access to applications and data at any time, from any location, regardless of where those applications are hosted. With a comprehensive and flexible portfolio, Cisco ensures frictionless connection for users and devices in the most complex environments with AI and security embedded from the start. 

The Battle of AI Networking: Ethernet vs InfiniBand

This article is not an exploration of who does Ethernet better so much as a direct examination of technology itself. Numbers will be reported as an aggregate means between major players in the AI Networking market and contrasted with equivalent InfiniBand performance. The goal is to answer, at an atomic level, one question: eliminating all other variables, is Ethernet good enough?

Cisco Networking labs and learning paths in the ATC

Cisco 9800 Foundation Lab

This lab guide is intended for administrators who are responsible for deploying and configuring Cisco IOS-XE solutions. Participants should have at least a basic understanding of WLAN concepts. It is assumed that participants have at least a working understanding of fundamental wireless concepts as well as Cisco technology.

SRv6 uSID Lab

SRv6 utilizes the IPv6 data plane natively to deliver Segment Routing capabilities which dramatically simplifies network deployments. By eliminating the need for MPLS label shims and transporting SRv6 SIDs as IPv6 addresses, any IPv6 capable router can forward an SRv6 packet. This means that you can run SRv6 services over any IPv6-enabled infrastructure. This lab will introduce you to the basics of SRv6 with L3VPN over a purely IPv6 transport.

Cisco Networking: Configuring OSPF

This configuration workbook lab is designed to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) routing in Cisco networks. Participants will learn to configure OSPF across multiple areas, implement OSPF neighbor relationships, and manage route summarization and redistribution. The lab will also explore advanced OSPF concepts such as stub areas, NSSA, and virtual links. By the end of the lab, learners will be able to validate OSPF operations using show commands and debug tools, ensuring proper route propagation and stable network convergence in real-world routing environments.

SR-MPLS With Flex-Algo Lab

Service providers and other large organizations rely on MPLS on multiple platforms to deliver mission-critical applications and services. Segment Routing is the next-generation technology that replaces MPLS, and here we look at SR-MPLS along with an advanced feature called Flexible Algorithm (Flex-Algo). Segment Routing with Flex-Algo enables the router to assign a user-defined algorithm to the IGP that is implemented dynamically and on-demand.

Segment Routing Inter-Op Lab With Cisco & Juniper

Service providers and other large organizations rely on MPLS quite often on multiple platforms to deliver mission critical applications and services. Segment Routing is the next generation technology that replaces MPLS, and here we look at implementing L3VPN's with Segmenting Routing on both Cisco and Juniper Routers.

Intro to MPLS Using LDP

MPLS has been used for over two decades. It is the cornerstone of Service Provider Networks and many enterprise, utility and federal networks. MPLS delivers mission-critical applications and services. This lab provides a hands-on lab environment that will familiarize the user with the primary routing configuration of MPLS (Multi-protocol Label Switching) with LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) running on Cisco routers.

IP Routing Lab for Optical Engineers

There is a movement in the industry to combine the optical network and the routed network, with Cisco leading the charge. The architecture is known as RON, Routed Optical Networks. With the RON architecture, the services that Optical Engineers are accustomed to delivering within the optical network are now provided via the routed network. Services such as site-to-site traffic demand, path selection, and path protection. With this shift in architecture, there is a growing requirement for optical engineers' expertise to span both optical and routing. This lab is designed to demonstrate how the routed network delivers these services and how to configure a basic RON network using Segment Routing.
