Title=Cisco Systems, Inc. - Introduction to Telephony - Part 1
Abstract=Level: 1 Length: 2 hrs. Focus: Introduction This introduction covers the basic technical aspects of analog telephony, digital telephony, and PBX technology, network synchronization issues, T1/E1/J1 framing, line coding, pulse/DTMF dialing, a-Law to u-Law conversion, FXO/FXS/E&M signalling, echo and related issues, PBX trunking, and public/private network hierarchies. The target audience is data networking design and planning professionals who desire a better understanding of voice telephony and the ground-level voice and data network integration issues they face.

Title=Cisco Systems, Inc. - Router Architecture and Performance
Abstract=Level: 3 Length: 2 hrs. Focus: Design This presentation clearly defines the performance characteristics of the Cisco router family. In-depth discussion on the internal architecture and operation of the routers will explain the various modes of operation such as switching modes, buffering, and queuing mechanisms. The presentation also looks at the various scenarios that can affect performance, such as compression and encryption. This detailed look at troubleshooting and network design techniques ensures a full understanding of the most effective ways routers can be deployed in today's networks. General knowledge of Cisco IOS commands and routing protocols is required.

Title=Cisco Systems, Inc. - Managing Campus Networks
Abstract=Level: 1 Length: 1 hr. Focus: Product Due to growth in size and complexity of campus networks, IS managers are faced with new network management challenges. The deployment of various technologies and products, including 100 MB Ethernet switches, Layer 3 switching technology, Virtual LANs (VLANs), and ATM switches, requires the use of a sophisticated management and administrative solution. This presentation will use real-world cases to discuss how the CiscoWorks for Switched Internetworks (CWSI) and Cisco Resource Manager (CRM) products can be used to perform common networking tasks and resolve typical networking problems with campus networks.

Title=Cisco Systems, Inc. - Packet over SONET for IP Transport
Abstract=Level: 2 Length: 1 hr. Focus: Product The explosive growth of Internet/Intranet traffic is making its mark on the existing transport infrastructure. There has been an unprecedented shift in traffic content, pattern and behavior. This presentation reviews these new bandwidth drivers, and explores the design techniques that best leverage new and existing infrastructures. In this regard, SONET/SDH is the medium of choice. This reliable technology has been in existence since 1986, and the advent of technologies such as ATM over SONET (and most recently direct mapping of IP over SONET frames) has extended the useful life of this technology. But to design new networks, it is necessary to predict the future applications and provide a good migration path.

Title=Cisco Systems, Inc. - Introduction to ATM I
Abstract=Level: 1 Length: 2 hrs. Focus: Introduction Have you ever read about ATM in a trade journal and been overwhelmed by the flurry of acronyms? In this presentation we will examine the basics of ATM and define such terms as UNI, NNI, VPI, VCI, PVC, SVC, ILMI, AAL, LANE, MPOA, and more. Concentrating mainly on ATM as it pertains to campus networking, we will compare and contrast ATM with frame-based technologies such as Ethernet and define some of the schemes used to successfully intertwine ATM with legacy networks. Finally, we will explore some of the facets of ATM with regard to QoS and traffic management.

Title=Cisco Systems, Inc. - Designing Secure Enterprise Network Infrastructures I
Abstract=Level: 2 Length: 2 hrs. Focus: Design Internet technologies are transforming today's businesses. Organizations face the challenge of adapting their networks to enable such services as Internet commerce, extranets that change and strengthen vendor relationships, and VPN technologies to reduce wide area communication costs. As networks increase in importance, every effort must be made to protect them from malicious or accidental damage or interruption. This session will demonstrate how network security products from Cisco can be used to provide secure, reliable, and manageable security solutions that will help organizations to be successful. Secure network management, configuration, authentication, denial of service protection, perimeter policy management, and access control are topics of discussion.
