As enterprises grow increasingly complex and connected, managing device access to the network becomes a crucial component of any cybersecurity strategy. A cornerstone of this management process is endpoint profiling, which allows network administrators to identify, classify, and enforce policies based on the type of devices connected. Cisco Identit
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) plays a pivotal role in service provider networks by enabling fast, efficient packet forwarding and scalable VPN solutions. Two major protocols used to distribute labels in MPLS are Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) and Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE). When these protocols
Today’s enterprise networks demand constant uptime, fast recovery, and smooth user experiences. A critical aspect that ensures uninterrupted connectivity for end-users is the deployment of First Hop Redundancy Protocols (FHRPs). These protocols allow hosts to maintain access to their default gateways even in the event of device failure.
Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever, making proactive network defense a crucial priority for organizations. Cisco Firepower, powered by Snort, provides deep packet inspection and powerful intrusion prevention features that security professionals can customize to meet specific needs. As the demand for adaptable threat detection gro
For IT professionals aspiring to master this critical capability, especially those undergoing CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure training, understanding application-aware routing is an essential step in building resilient and responsive networks.
