Can you believe that we are already only 5 months away from another Cisco Live event? Cisco Live Europe is happening at the end of the month already in Milan as well. Where does the time go? In case you didn’t know this year we are heading to San Francisco, one of my favorite cities,…
Hard to believe that another Cisco Live US is only a few weeks away! It doesn’t seem like a year has already passed since the last CLUS in San Diego. Last year’s CLUS was a different event for me as I really focused on tracks that are not my strength and I was fortunate to…
Information Technology is an interesting market, I’ve seen a lot of different setups from where people would be Jack of All Trades Master of None to the full silo where you only know one thing, and one thing alone. When I entered the professional services market you focused on a track if you will that…
Came across an interesting issue today with Cisco ISE that I thought I would put out in a blog post.

In my haste configuring my 7 nodes I…
In case you haven’t heard yesterday some news leaked out a littler earlier than it should have via social media causing Cisco and Meraki to react and confirm that Cisco intends to buy Meraki for $1.2billion. If you have listened to me over on the NSA Show podcast you’ll know that I am a fan…

This blog post originally was going to be simply about how I can turn on and off my home CCIE-W lab rack with my 7921 and 7970 IP Phones but when I started to think about how to develop the post I realized it could be much more. With increased functionality and benefits being all…
Recently 14,000+ technology geeks invaded Las Vegas for Cisco Live! 2011 at Mandalay Bay Convention Center. For me this was my 4th year in a row attending Cisco Live! and the 2nd in a row at Vegas. If you have never attending a Cisco Live! event in person I strongly suggest that you try to…
Today marked the first official event for Cisco Live 2011 for me and it was a good one! I sat an 8 hour techtorial revolving around the CCIE Wireless program. I was a little bummed to hear that they were focusing on v2 which is out Nov 18th 2011, but by the end of the…
