It seems like the whole world is going wireless. After watching Michael Shannon's new CCNA Wireless training series you'll be ready to control wireless technology.
Michael's training is appropriate for anyone considering implementing a Cisco Wireless solution for their company, a partner, their customer, or their clients...even if its simply for a guest or lobby VLAN. In addition, anyone who needs to setup a wireless LAN for scenarios like a hotel, airport, retail site, or medical facility will find this training invaluable.

This session covers the design principles associated with the deployment of Group Encrypted Transport (GET) VPNs. A brief overview covers the protocols (GDOI and COOP) and state machines associated with group members and key servers. Best practices are emphasized for redundancy, scalability, manageability, and network performance. Discussion also covers various deployment scenarios. Knowledge of GET VPN architecture is highly recommended as a prerequisite.

Cisco VPN Client allows you to establish encrypted VPN tunnels for highly secure remote connectivity for your mobile employees or teleworkers.Simple to deploy and use, our IP Security (IPsec)-based VPN Client is compatible with all Cisco VPN products.The Cisco VPN Client can be preconfigured for mass deployments, and initial logins require little user intervention. It supports Cisco Easy VPN capabilities, which allows the Cisco VPN Client to receive network security policies upon a VPN tunnel connection from the Cisco Easy VPN Server, minimizing configuration at the remote location.

VPN Client Support and Compatibility
The Cisco VPN Client supports:
* XP, Vista (x86/32-bit only), and Windows 7 (x86/32-bt only); Windows x64 (64-bit) support requires Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client

This session addresses Cisco firewalls and how they are used to enforce security policy around the network. It includes best practices as part of a case study that illustrates these various techniques in practice and options on how they can be implemented. Common design scenarios are covered for both the ASA firewall appliance and the Cisco Firewall Services Module, including virtualization and transparent (Layer 2) mode. Pros and cons of each design are discussed in depth. Participants should have a working knowledge of TCP/IP and understand general networking and packet flow. This session focuses on the Cisco ASA Adaptive Security Appliance and Firewall Services Module and does not cover any Cisco IOS based firewall solutions.

NetCitadel Firewall Builder is multi-platform firewall configuration and management tool. It consists of a GUI and set of policy compilers for various firewall platforms. Firewall Builder uses object-oriented approach, it helps administrator maintain a database of network objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations. Firewall Builder currently supports iptables, ipfilter, OpenBSD PF as well as Cisco PIX and Cisco IOS extended access lists. Being truly vendor-neutral, Firewall Builder can generate configuration file for any supported target firewall platform from the same policy created in its GUI. This provides for both consistent policy management solution for heterogeneous environments and possible migration path.

Policy compiler for PIX, which recently has been released under GPL, allows Firewall Builder to function as a sophisticated policy management software for Cisco PIX firewall with access to all functions of PIX including newest features added in v7.x. Policy compiler for Cisco IOS Access Lists adds support for router access lists and turns Firewall Builder into complete solution for the multi-tiered network security. Firewall Builder allows for management of multiple firewalls using the same network object database. Change made to an object is immediately reflected in the policy of all firewalls using this object. Administrator only needs to recompile and install policies on actual firewall machines.

Zan Image Printer is installed as a virtual printer driver that allows you to convert printable documents from any application which supports printing into a standard BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PDF, TIFF, or PNG image. The converted image retains all of the information from the original file and can be easily shared and viewed without the need for the original software. Zan Image Printer was developed in response to our user's needs and feedback. It is the most advanced and capable virtual image printer driver on the market today.

Cisco® Enterprise Policy Manager helps application-development teams implement fine-grained security at a fraction of the time and cost of custom development. On an enterprise wide basis, Cisco helps security teams deliver consistent policy while helping risk and audit teams review and change policy to meet with compliance requirements.

Simple to deploy and operate, the Cisco VPN Client allows organizations to establish end-to-end, encrypted VPN tunnels for secure connectivity for mobile employees or teleworkers. This thin design, IP security (IPSec)-implementation is compatible with all Cisco virtual private network (VPN) products.

The Cisco VPN Client can be preconfigured for mass deployments, and initial logins require little user intervention. It supports the innovative Cisco Easy VPN capabilities, delivering a uniquely scalable, cost-effective, and easy-to-manage remote access VPN architecture that eliminates the operational costs associated with maintaining a consistent policy and key management method. The Cisco Easy VPN feature allows the Cisco VPN Client to receive security policies upon a VPN tunnel connection from the central site VPN device (Cisco Easy VPN Server), minimizing configuration requirements at the remote location. This simple and highly scalable solution is ideal for large remote access deployments where it is impractical to individually configure policies for multiple remote PCs.

If the tech-stock swoon merely whets your appetite for this roller coaster of a market sector, and your eyes don't glaze over at the very sight of formulas like "Return on Capital = EBIT (1 - t) / Capital Invested," then The Dark Side of Valuation is the investment guide you've been waiting for.

Whether considering New Economy firms at their peak or their valley, writes Aswath Damodaran, the problem has always been determining their true value with equitable dispassion. A leading expert on the topic, Damodaran begins by noting that standard corporate valuations are determined by four factors: cash flow from existing investments, growth expected from this cash flow, length of time this growth is sustained, and cost of capital to sustain it.

In what he admits is not always an easy read, Damodaran then details various ways to adapt conventional valuation methods for companies that lack key traditional variables (such as profits, track records, and even competitors with which they can be compared) in order to arrive at realistic valuations. Those not scared off by charts comparing the historical risk for T-bills and T-bonds since 1928 will find this book worth a look

About Packet Tracer
Packet Tracer is a self-paced, visual, interactive teaching and learning tool. It is designed to increase interaction between students and instructors, promote student learning, and enhance instructor presentations. This technology is a new and fun way to expand teaching and learning experiences beyond the limitations of a traditional lab environment. Packet Tracer helps resolve some common challenges that instructors face on a daily basis, while enabling us to explore new frontiers in networking education.

Product Feature Solution Fit
Packet Tracer is an enhancement of the current standalone product. It expands upon the feature set that exists. This product is meant to be used as an education product that provides exposure to the command-line interface of Cisco devices for practice and discovery learning. It also improves on the visualization components, making it easier for instructors to deliver presentations and for students to understand the inner workings and interactions of networking equipment to perform data transfer and support communications.

Key Features
In the Simulation and Visualization Mode, students can see and control time intervals, the inner workings of data transfer, and the propagation of data across a network. This helps students understand the fundamental concepts behind network operations. A solid understanding of network fundamentals can help accelerate learning about related concepts.
