Anything can be AI access but infra is definitely interesting. I’ll have to look that up.

There’s certain requirements like low latency and other features if you are hosting AI workloads on prem.
Nexus would be it. Campus can be used for the access of AI apps, but those workloads themselves are surrounded by Nexus.

Cisco Secure Firewall - SCC Onboarding
YouTube video by David Alicea Cisco Secure Firewall - SCC Onboarding

I recently got a hold of a Cisco Secure Firewall 1210CE to replace my 1010 in the lab. It was pretty simple to onboard to Security Cloud Control for cloud management.

Don’t forget to multiply the IP version by the Cat # to get the terabytes per second of bandwidth you get!

My lab firewall at home is managed by a Cloud-Delivered FMC in Cisco’s Security Cloud Control. In this video I spend time upgrading it to the latest Gold Star version 7.6.2.1.

Wherefore Art Thou, Firewall?
YouTube video by David Alicea Wherefore Art Thou, Firewall?

The use of firewalls has evolved over the years, from the perimeter to now being intertwined into the network.

In this video, we do some white-boarding for some basic firewall use cases.

Firewalls have evolved over the years, but it has felt like a generation since the industry started using "Next Gen FW".

Hybrid Mesh Firewall is what orgs are looking at now. Let’s focus on one piece of it, which is the firewall.

Cisco ISE - The Segmentation Journey Part 3
YouTube video by David Alicea Cisco ISE - The Segmentation Journey Part 3

I setup Cisco TrustSec in the lab using Identity Services Engine 3.4. With TrustSec, the focus is on segmenting with identity and not the IP address.

Everything does taste a bit more natural and doesn’t seem to be as heavy outside the states, at least the times I’ve been to Europe.
