Recently another blog post came up discussing the issues with surveying for a Cisco Catalyst 9120. I too had to go through the pain of trying to survey with it as I had to figure out how do I get a Catalyst 9120 online as well as a 3504 WLC. This setup was certainly not…
Many of us in the industry have gone through many of the various certification programs out there and many of us started with the Cisco CCNA. I remember back to 2008 when I first got my CCNA, it took me 2 attempts to pass and I was impressed with the knowledge and confidence that I…

It’s the biggest party of the event and we finally know where it is and who will be providing the entertainment. Are you ready to rock out at AT&T Park with Lenny Kravitz and Imagine Dragons? 2 years ago in San Diego we took over Petco and it was an awesome place to have the…
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,…
