IWAN and Security
IWAN monitoring and configuration management
Levels of IWAN
How IWAN related to ACI

Transcripts:
saintdlewe now have a number of customers who have moved away from the cost of mpls and dedicated circuits, and use VPN instead,
Billyc5022i will talk. I have built an iWAN lab in my office.
saintdledont think we've have any customers who are on IWAN
NetworkingNerdYes! It's a V-R-F. NOT a "verf".
Fish14  Yesyes, Tom
CommsNinjaGo for it Billy!
subnetworkagreed!
ghostinthenetVRF ftw! I've been using them extensively for configurations for some time now.
ghostinthenet/me looks at Billy
CommsNinjanetworkingnerd-you're a verf
skutzerWe have many customers with Inter-Continental MPLS Connection and additional Backup Internet VPN Connection -So this Technology is verygreat!
CommsNinjaQuestions for the panel?
Billyc5022anything except Prime!
skutzer46% of Organizations are planning to transitition to Internet Connections
ghostinthenetThey've worked really well.
Billyc5022ghostInTheTalkShoe
ghostinthenetI use them to isolate Internet connectivity front the global routing table.
NetworkingNerdAmy Lewis: Chat Narrator.
CommsNinjaGreat Qs! Keep them coming!
Maher yes
NetworkingNerdIs IWAN OnePK enabled? Will we be able to integrate it with SDN solutions down the road? OpenFlow support at some point?
Maheraha
Maheryup, sure
subnetworkI was waiting for that question Tom. I knew it was coming.
williamcabanHow does IWAN ACN (application centric networking) relate to ACI?
Fish14Is that a "typical Tom" question?
MaherMay I ask another question?
LaurenFriedman Yes
LaurenFriedmango for it MMaher
saintdleis logged into the chat
saintdleok I give up trying to get a dial in to the call, i'll just listen
Maherwell, the automation capabilities of IWAN can actually mask network problems, making them invisible to network managers.
MaherLike one of the Internet connections could fail, but this could go unnoticed since all of the traffic would continue to go down the other pipe.
subnetworknot a typical tom question, per se. just a question that gets asked about every newer technology now
Maherhow can we get over this?
subnetworkgreat question Maher
MaherThanks, Subnetwork
Maherhmmm
skutzerthe break even was 2002, when the Internet was reliable about 94%
LaurenFriedman@mpatters you have questions?
mpatters@LaurenFriedman I'm new to Talkshoe and this whole program. I'm listening. Our company focuses on the monitoring -AVC, PfR, WAAS all IPFIX exports
skutzerGreat Wiki about IWAN: http://goo.gl/aZBRk5
skutzerWhy is it limited to Router?
skutzerIS it also possible with ASAs?
LaurenFriedmanHugo is routing TME king
CommsNinjaFor those on the phone, don't be shy, think up a question, let us know and we'll call on you!
skutzerWhy is IWAN limited to Cisco Router, is there als a future plan to get this on a Cisco ASA?
CommsNinjaWe are wrapping in 5, let's hear those questions!
Maher@CommsNinja, maybe shy cuz they've got a French accent like mine
subnetworkok, got one more
ghostinthenetWith the overlap between routers and ASAs, a lot of people want to see everything implemented on both. They're just not designed for the same thing.
CommsNinjaWe translate French and Italian here @Maher! (waves hands in air)
subnetworkI realize my question overlapped with many others...but I really wanted that sound bite.
saintdleI read through them for reference, to help with my designs,
saintdleor seeing how I can bring a customers network inline with CVD
saintdleit then makes it easier for our support to understand the network etc, if they have something its based from,
saintdlerather than thrown together hap-hazardly
skutzerCisco Validated Designs for Enterprise WAN http://goo.gl/y7SZgh
saintdlethat was a poor english accent
CommsNinjathat was my english accent
saintdlecustomers like the reference to CVD's, as it shows the investment behind the hardware, in terms of supported setups
CommsNinjaLast call everyone! We're wrapping in 3
Fish14clap clap clap
Fish14thanks
