Cisco WAAS appliance

Cisco WAAS Mobile has the same features as Cisco WAAS and differs only in performance.

Cisco WAAS Express is integrated into Cisco IOS.

Cisco yWAAS can be implemented on any Cisco ISR routers.

Cisco WAAS Express can run simultaneously with Cisco Unity Express on the same Cisco SRE.

Only Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series switches and above can support PoE.

The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series switches are stackable.

The Cisco Catalyst 2000 Series support 802.1X and MACsec encryption.

The Cisco Catalyst 3560 Series switches are high-end switches for data.

Cisco MediaNet Performance Monitor collects performance metrics of video traffic as flexible netflow records which can be processed by any netflow collector, such as Cisco Prime Assurance Manager.

Cisco MediaNet supports only SNMP traps but not syslog messages.

When using PVDM3 on Cisco ISR G2, video streams of the same type can be locally mixed within the router. Video transcoding services require a dedicated video MCU.

Cisco MediaNet Mediatrace allows real-time troubleshooting by providing details about every hop of the end-to-end path of your mediastream.

The technical solution has to be based on the previously defined architecture.

Examples of low-level design tools are the Cisco Power Calculator, the Cisco Rack Space Calculator, and the Cisco DSP Calculator.

CVDs provide proven design of solutions that include only Cisco products, which ensures single-vendor solutions.

Numerous CVDs are available that provide all the information needed for a successful deployment.

The SBA toolkit includes foundation design guides that focus on concepts as well as foundation design guides that show detailed configurations.

CVD is technology-oriented, while SBA is market- and solution-oriented.

SBA guides are available for enterprise deployments only.

SBA is a blueprint for delivering the three Cisco architectures in a modular approach.

Gold partners have access to a demo lab for each validated design.

A Layer 2 switch operates up to the data link layer of the OSI network model.

A Layer 3 switch operates up to the transport layer of the OSI network model.

A dual-layer switch operates at the application layer of the OSI network model.

A multilayer switch operates at all layers of the OSI network model.

A Layer 2 switch operates up to the physical layer of the OSI network model.
