GNS3 for fun and profit!

GNS3 is a multi-platform, graphical network emulator that allows Network Engineers to simulate complex networks directly on their PC. Combining Dynamips and Pemu, virtual networks can be created so ideas can be 'labbed up' before implementation. GNS3 is also an invaluable tool to aid in the study of Cisco certifications including CCNA, CCNP, CCIP and the CCIE. During the session we will discuss what GNS3 is (and is not) and how to install and set it up. The session will also focus on designing sample topologies and directing you towards some of the GNS3-related resources on the web.

IP Voice Signaling Protocols - Focus on SIP

In the beginning, out-of-band signaling was used (SS7) for inter-domain switching of telephone traffic. Now, with VoIP all the rage, what do we use for signaling and call control of non-PSTN traffic? Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has become the predominant in-band-signaling protocol for VoIP and applications associated with Unified Communications. This presentation will give the user an overview of what SIP is, and some of the purpose and promise for its use.

Topic: Network Design - Best Practices

Over the past few years, Cisco has gone through tremendous change, both in the products they support and the networks that must support them. Many people don't realize just how much the design of enterprise networks has changed, especially in the past year. This presentation is focused on the latest trends in rapid-converged network design and how to create architectures that can meet the rapid convergence demands of products like VoIP. Come join us as we explore the best practices of rapid-convergence (< 300ms) and Non-Stop-Forwarding network design and split hairs in design methodology like you've never seen. From major technology choices seen in the Cisco Validated Design Zones, to things you've probably never even heard of doing at the port-level, which will help guarantee your Cisco design is ready for applications that must operate in real-time. This presentation will attack design from every angle and most certainly will overflow the allotted 2 hours with invaluable information. Arrive prepared for an exciting, fast-moving and completely packed-full presentation on Cisco Design Architectures and proven Best Practices!

Presenter: Mike Storm (CCIE, CCNP, CCSP, CCDP, Security and DR Specialist, 15-year MCSE/MCT) CEO of Brainstorm International, Inc. is a 19-year veteran of enterprise consulting, an instructor, and author.

Topic: Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM)

Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) is a high-speed, integrated firewall module for Cisco Catalyst 6500 switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers, and provides the fastest firewall data rates in the industry: 5-Gbps throughput, 100,000 CPS, and 1M concurrent connections. Up to four FWSMs can be installed in a single chassis providing scalability to 20 Gbps per chassis. Based on Cisco PIX Firewall technology, the FWSM provides large enterprises and service providers with unmatched security, reliability, and performance.

The FWSM includes many advanced features like multiple security contexts both at the routed levels and in bridging mode, helping to reduce cost and operational complexity while managing multiple firewalls from the same management platform. Using features like Resource Manager, organizations can limit the resources allocated to any security context at any time thus ensuring that one security context does not interfere with another. Using the transparent firewall feature, which configures the FWSM to act as a Layer 2 bridging firewall, there are minimal changes required to network topology.

Quality of Service (QoS) has already proven itself as the enabling technology allowing the convergence of voice, video and data networks. The need to protect voice, video and critical data via QoS mechanisms in an enterprise network has escalated over the past year, primarily due to the increased frequency and sophistication of DoS and worm attacks. This session provides an overview of current QoS mechanisms and tools, including classification/marking, policing/shaping, congestion management/avoidance, and link-efficiency mechanisms. QoS design principles are introduced to show how QoS mechanisms can be strategically deployed to address application requirements while mitigating attacks.
