I just had the pleasure of attending my second Cisco Live event which was hosted in Orlando Florida this year. I am a veritable new comer to this conference but thought I would share some thoughts and observations from my most recent expedition into networking geekdom.

Leave a CommentI just received the official word last week that I will be attending Cisco Live 2012 in San Diego, CA this year.

One of the fabrics in the blade enclosure contains Dell M8024-k 10Gb/s PowerConnect switches.

This was ideal for our situation as the upstream equipment we are connecting to is a pair of Nexus 5548s and we were particularly interested in using vPC for the connectivity to the chassis. After multiple failed attempts, and several conversations with Dell engineers, I have found the correct process for configuring these switches for stacking.
This is a short list of the tools that I have been using to study for my Cisco certification exams. I would love to hear…
