Chesapeake NetCraftsmen

We are working on our plans to attend CiscoLive Networkers in San Diego in June, and hope you are too.

We will have a booth again this year, and will be bringing many of our technical staff! So If you want to meet Pete, talk to Terry, catch up with Carole, chat with Charlie, discuss topics with Denise, and share the breeze with Bill, please visit our booth # 747 in the World of Solutions exhibit hall.

We are also pleased to announce that Dr. Pete Welcher of Chesapeake NetCraftsmen has been selected and will be featured in the Networkers Technical Program at CiscoLive 2012.

Pete will be co-presenting two labtorial sessions:

• LRTCRT-5205 Configuring Nexus 7000 Virtualization Lab : TThis 4 hour session starts with a lecture providing a brief orientation for Nexus 7000 hardware and software, and then introducing NX-OS CLI innovations with a focus on Virtual Device Contexts (VDCs). A two-hour hands-on lab follows, where attendees will provision VDCs and configure VLANs and routing on a Nexus 7000. This lab session will prepare you for DCUFI test / DCNIS specialization. Some familiarity with the Cisco IOS CLI and routing/switching is expected.
• LRTCRT-5206 Configuring Nexus 5000 Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Lab : This session introduces the Nexus 5000 and representative designs, then discusses Data Center Bridging (DCB) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and how these technologies are implemented on the Nexus 5000. The attendees will then experiment with FCoE in about two hours of hands-on Nexus 5000 labs configuring both LAN and FCoE SAN 10 G connectivity. This lab session will prepare you for DCUFI / DCNIS specialization. Some familiarity with the Cisco IOS CLI and routing/switching is expected.
