			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many of you may have noticed recently <a href="http://ipexpert.com">IPexpert.com</a> has been going through many new updates and enhancements with many more to come! One on these new enhancements that we are excited about is our new members area which has been totally overhauled with a new look, interface, and a new embedded video player for you to enjoy watching your subscribed products on. Our new video player supports not only flash but HTML5 which now allows all of our content to be streamed on your<strong> iPad, iPhone, or Android</strong> device supporting these formats. This is a feature that many customers have been requesting and we have been working hard to deliver and hope you enjoy! I know some of you may be thinking that this is awesome but what about being able to download the workbooks that you may have purchased and view them on your iPad when there currently is not any support for File Open available for mobile devices. Well we are also looking at and testing different encryption options that are compatible with devices like the iPad and hope to deliver this feature also in the near future. Until then we hope you enjoy this new feature and make sure you keep an eye on our Blog, Facebook Page, Twitter Page, and Linkedin for announcements and product specials!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CCIE Voice Lab Exam Adding Short Answer Questions:<br />
Also effective July 16, 2009, the Cisco CCIE Voice Lab Exam will feature a new type of question format in a section called Core Knowledge.  In this new section, candidates will be asked a series of four open-ended questions that require a short, typewritten response (typically several words).  The questions will be randomly drawn from a pool of questions on topics currently eligible for testing on the CCIE Voice Lab Exam.  No new topics are being added.  Candidates will have up to 30 minutes to complete the Core Knowledge section of the exam, and may not return to the questions later.  First introduced to the CCIE Routing and Switching lab exam in February 2009, Core Knowledge questions will eventually be added to all CCIE tracks.  The changes allow Cisco to maintain strong exam security, and they help ensure that only qualified candidates are awarded CCIE certification.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join IPexpert as we bring you up to the minute live coverage from Cisco Networkers on Sunday, June 28th and Monday, June 29th. On Sunday we will be tweeting, blogging, and posting emails to <a href="http://www.OnlineStudyList.com" target="_blank">OSL</a> live from the <strong>CCIE Voice</strong> Technical Seminar (formerly called a Techtorial) and also from the <strong>CCIE Routing and Switching</strong> Technical Seminar. On Monday we will be tweeting, blogging, and posting emails to OSL live from the <strong>CCIE Security</strong> Technical Seminar.</p>
<p><span id="more-1147"></span></p>
<p>We will cover a wide range of topics and posts, but our main focus will be to get you any specific information we learn of regarding changes that are coming to 3.0 Voice and 4.0 R&amp;S Lab Exams, and all specific information regarding changes that have already occurred to the 3.0 Security Lab Exam.</p>
<p>In order to deliver the information to you &#8220;live&#8221; and up-to-the-minute, while at the same time not to overwhelming our IPexpert Blog or OSL readers with a million little posts (slight exaggeration possibly), we will use the following format to update our various media outlets:</p>
<ul>
<li>We will post every newsworthy update live to three twitter accounts, one for each CCIE Track and Technical Seminar. This way if you want live coverage, you can watch one of those feeds for the track you are studying for, while not receiving unnecessary ancillary information about a CCIE Track you may have no interest in.</li>
<li>We will then every couple of hours update both our official IPexpert Blog, and make a email post out to OnlineStudyList with a summation of what we have learned thus far.</li>
<li>If you wish to discuss any of the information posted to any of these forums, please post your comments to the respective OnlineStudyList mailing list for that track, and we will respond with replies. Also, if you have any questions for the Presenter, please ask them through OnlineStudyList, and we will be sure to ask them by-proxy. (You <strong>DO</strong> need to be subscribed to the particular OnlineStudyList mailing list before posting to that email alias)</li>
</ul>
<p>So the links to where all of the information will be posted is as follows:</p>
<p>CCIE Voice Track Technical Seminar:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="IPexpert Voice Twitter Feed" href="http://twitter.com/IPexpertVoice" target="_blank">Live Twitter Feed</a></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230; giving you more features that is! (Seriously &#8211; ask my wife if you think that statement isn&#8217;t true. She often asks me if I even have the ability to separate work from home life. Many props to Sarah for giving me up almost altogether these last two weeks!)</p>
<p>Well &#8211; we thought long and hard about it (well maybe not <strong>that</strong> long :)) and decided we hadn&#8217;t given you enough features long ago in our last <a title="vRack upgrade Long, Long Ago" href="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/2009/02/04/ipexpert-volume-1-proctorlabs-vracks/" target="_self">ProctorLabs vRack upgrade</a>. So we decided since it had been so <a title="vRack upgrade Long, Long Ago" href="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/2009/02/04/ipexpert-volume-1-proctorlabs-vracks/" target="_self">long</a>, we decided we that we just <strong>had</strong> to give you a few more. A few of these are nice if you just <strong>want</strong> to practice with these technologies and will most certainly be used in later labs of ours. One of these is a <strong>must have</strong> that honestly, I am not sure how we (or you) lived without until now.</p>
<p>We have always given you the ability to change your PSTN BR2 E1 from E1-PRI to E1-R2 CAS or back from E1-R2 CAS to  E1-PRI with these buttons pictured: </p>
<p><a href="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/files/2009/02/pstn-br2-e1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-571" src="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/files/2009/02/pstn-br2-e1.png" alt="" width="179" height="59" /></a></p>
<p>But now we are giving you two new functions regarding the PSTN simulator (router): The ability to change your PSTN HQ T1 from T1-PRI to T1-CAS with FGD or back from T1-CAS to  T1-PRI with these buttons pictured: </p>
<p><a href="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/files/2009/02/pstn-hq-t1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-573" src="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/files/2009/02/pstn-hq-t1.png" alt="" width="207" height="63" /></a></p>
<p>And also the ability to change your PSTN BR1 T1 from T1-PRI to T1-CAS with FGD-EANA or back from T1-CAS to  T1-PRI with these buttons pictured: </p>
<div><a href="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/files/2009/02/pstn-br1-t1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-574" src="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/files/2009/02/pstn-br1-t1.png" alt="" width="215" height="57" /></a></div>
<p>And finally, saving the best for last, we are giving you the ability to throw your vRack&#8217;s BR1 site (and all of it&#8217;s devices/functions) into SRST mode. This might sound simple, and in the real lab you might simply shut down your BR1 Serial link and all would be grand. However, in our vRacks, your BR1 Serial link connects your BR1 router back to your HQ router and then back to your EzVPN (hardware or software) IP Phones, and so you can&#8217;t really just shut it down or else those phones can&#8217;t connect to the BR1 router and register in SCCP (or SIP now:)) to the Call-Manager-Fallback a.k.a. SRST. You also have the challenge that if the lab you are working on happens to have you configure the BR1 router as a MGCP gateway, or even if it has you register DSPs in the BR1 router using SCCP to the UCMs, that those devices need to &#8220;stop talking&#8221; to the UCMs in order to do any sort of fallback (such as MGCP Fallback to H323 mode thus releasing a PRI or CAS trunk). </p>
<p>So what we have done is create a simple button to do all of this on your vRack web UI. Here it is:</p>
<p><a href="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/files/2009/02/simulate-srst.png"><span style="color: #000000"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-576" src="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/files/2009/02/simulate-srst.png" alt="" width="200" height="58" /></span></a></p>
<p>One thing to note: All of these functions are only available for the new Voice v3 blueprint&#8217;d vRacks.</p>
<p>Now if you are one who has your own hardware, you of course can do all of this manually yourself in your own lab. However I do have to say to any of you considering whether to <a title="Rent a vRack" href="https://proctorlabs.com/index.cfm/product/sku/CCIE_Voice_vRack_Online_Hardware_Rental_Session" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;text-decoration: none">rent a vRack </span></a>for your Voice studies or build your own rack, I remember back to when I was studying for my Voice exam, and had my own lab, and honestly how much time I wasted (no seriously &#8211; wasted) trying to not only get my lab setup in the first place, but then deal daily with getting servers reset, re-building PSTN files, dialplans, etc, etc, and how if I had something like the vRacks and the incredibly simple interface and between session automatic revert and extensive error checking logic that we offer at ProctorLabs, how much more time I would have had for actual studies that mattered. Oh well &#8211; I didn&#8217;t &#8211; but you do! Capitalize on it!</p>
<p>Also to note &#8211; on my <a title="Comments on last vRack Update" href="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/2009/02/04/ipexpert-volume-1-proctorlabs-vracks/#comments" target="_self">last post</a> regarding the vRack updates, in the comments section, one person asked about if a few new features were possible mainly regarding localizing PL rack rental timezone information based on where you are (or preferences chosen in your account settings) and also about if the &#8220;Load Lab Configs&#8221; function could give the ability to you to <strong>choose</strong> with a checkbox which devices to load or not to load on a given Initial or Final config. Well the simple answer to his question &#8211; I wanted to be a rather public one &#8211; and that is that <strong>ALL</strong> of this functionality and more is on the horizon. We haven&#8217;t even come close to showing you all of the Spades up our sleeve and ready to show the Straight Flush we have once the River card is played. (sorry couldn&#8217;t resist the Hold &#8216;Em reference) So be a little patient with us &#8211; we are continuing to develop in the background &#8211; I can assure you!</p>
<p>Cheers and Happy Labbing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By now most studying for the new blueprint of Voice and Security CCIE, have checked their <a title="IPexpert.com Members Area" href="https://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/member?" target="_blank">IPexpert.com Members Area</a> and found the most recent installment of the new Volume 1 materials. Remember to check both the <a title="Members eBook Section" href="https://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/Myebooks" target="_blank">Members My eBook Section</a> for your Workbooks and Proctor Guides, and also the <a title="Members My Configs Section" href="https://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/MyConfigs" target="_blank">Members My Configs Section</a> for your text based configuration files and diagrams.</p>
<p>I want to take a brief moment and describe to you the new format of both of these Tracks&#8217; Workbooks. In fact it will be a very brief moment since little description is necessary, and common sense kicks in that this, of course, is the most logical way to do it. We re-arranged our chapters quite a bit from the old format. Basically it boils down to the fact that we now have one chapter (called labs of course) for every section that Cisco has in that track&#8217;s blueprint. So since the <a title="Security 3.0 Blueprint" href="http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/security/lab_exam_blueprint_v3.html" target="_blank">Security 3.0 Blueprint</a> has 8 sections to it &#8211; so does our Security Volume 1 Workbook. Since the <a title="Voice 3.0 Blueprint" href="https://cisco.hosted.jivesoftware.com/docs/DOC-3569" target="_blank">Voice 3.0 Blueprint</a> has 13 sections to it &#8211; so does our Voice Volume 1 Workbook. This accomplishes a number of things. One is that you know that everything in the blueprint is covered in our workbook, merely by taking a look at the table of contents structure. Two it gives CCIE candidates a great way to go back and quickly identify, then proceed to study in remediation, any specific section that you may have, God forbid, actually gotten less than say around 80% when you sat the actual Lab Exam last. The third, and I personally think maybe the most important, is it gives us the ability to break each section out, not just by <strong>configuration techniques</strong> for every technology listed, but also by <strong>troubleshooting techniques</strong> for every technology. You see, if you happened to be fortunate enough to go to Cisco Live: Networkers last year in Orlando, then surely you heard some of the various Proctors and Content Managers talking quite a bit about troubleshooting and that while it had only been a small part of the lab previous to that time, how moving forward with the advent of the new blueprints it would become a much heavier focused on and tested topic. This makes good sense seeing that we have all heard of a few (not many, but a few) candidates out there who managed to learn the commands to configure everything and pass the lab, but didn&#8217;t have a thorough enough understanding of the technology to apply it in the real world. It also helps to cut down on the possibility of the previously mentioned candidates succeeding if they had been in fact cheating by possibly memorizing any of the actual test questions. In this fashion (as in the real world) the candidate has to really know well the technology to be able to not only configure it, but also troubleshoot problems that could have been introduced by the Proctor before the candidate sat down to take the actual lab exam (Bear in mind that I am <strong>not</strong> at all suggesting that the proctors might be causing problems <strong>during</strong> your lab exam, only that there will be existing erroneous configurations introduced <strong>before</strong> you sit down to the exam, and that you would most likely be given some general technology to expect to see them appear in). So that being said &#8211; both tracks of our new workbooks have every Lab section broken down into two sub-sections, A and B to reflect configuration and troubleshooting respectively.</p>
<p><span id="more-559"></span>So the Table of Contents for Voice looks like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Section 1A: Implement Campus Infrastructure and Services</li>
<li>Section 1B: Troubleshoot Campus Infrastructure and Services</li>
<li>Section 2A: Implement CUCM Endpoints (SIP and SCCP)</li>
<li>Section 2B: Troubleshoot CUCM Endpoints (SIP and SCCP)</li>
<li>Section 3A: Implement CUCME Endpoints (SIP and SCCP)</li>
<li>Section 3B: Troubleshoot CUCME Endpoints (SIP and SCCP)</li>
<li>Section 4A: Implement Voice Gateways</li>
<li>Section 4B: Troubleshoot Voice Gateways</li>
<li>Section 5A: Implement Call Routing Policies</li>
<li>Section 5B: Troubleshoot Call Routing Policies</li>
<li>Section 6A: Implement High Availability Features</li>
<li>Section 6B: Troubleshoot High Availability Features</li>
<li>Section 7A: Implement Media Resources</li>
<li>Section 7B: Troubleshoot Media Resources</li>
<li>Section 8A: Implement Supplementary Services</li>
<li>Section 8B: Troubleshoot Supplementary Services</li>
<li>Section 9A: Implement Other CUCM Voice Applications</li>
<li>Section 9B: Troubleshoot Other CUCM Voice Applications</li>
<li>Section 10A: Implement QoS and CAC</li>
<li>Section 10B: Troubleshoot QoS and CAC</li>
<li>Section 11A: Implement Messaging</li>
<li>Section 11B: Troubleshoot Messaging</li>
<li>Section 12A: Implement Cisco Unified Contact Center Express</li>
<li>Section 12B: Troubleshoot Cisco Unified Contact Center Express</li>
<li>Section 13A: Implement Cisco Unified Presence</li>
<li>Section 13B: Troubleshoot Cisco Unified Presence</li>
</ul>
<p>And the Table of Contents for Security looks like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lab 1A: Implement secure networks using Cisco ASA Firewalls</li>
<li>Lab 1B: Troubleshoot secure networks using Cisco ASA Firewalls</li>
<li>Lab 2A: Implement secure networks using Cisco IOS Firewalls</li>
<li>Lab 2B: Troubleshoot secure networks using Cisco IOS Firewalls</li>
<li>Lab 3A: Implement secure networks using Cisco VPN solutions</li>
<li>Lab 3B: Troubleshoot secure networks using Cisco VPN solutions</li>
<li>Lab 4A: Configure Cisco IPS to mitigate network threats</li>
<li>Lab 4B: Troubleshoot Cisco IPS to mitigate network threats</li>
<li>Lab 5A: Implement Identity Management</li>
<li>Lab 5B: Troubleshoot Identity Management</li>
<li>Lab 6A: Implement Control Plane and Management Plane Security</li>
<li>Lab 6B: Troubleshoot Control Plane and Management Plane Security</li>
<li>Lab 7A: Configure Advanced Security</li>
<li>Lab 7B: Troubleshoot Advanced Security</li>
<li>Lab 8A: Identify and Mitigate Network Attacks</li>
<li>Lab 8B: Troubleshoot Network Attacks</li>
</ul>
<p>So now that we have talked about the workbook materials, lets move to talking about the latest changes we made to ProctorLabs vRacks for both Security and Voice new v3 blueprint. Most of the new features we have already covered in previous posts, but I will briefly recap:</p>
<ul>
<li>The ability to with a single button, load up all of the initial configs necessary for any given workbook volume and lab, without having to open any text files, copy or paste anything in a router or switch. Oh &#8211; did I mention that this covers ALL of your servers as well? So for Security &#8211; the ACS server DB will be restored, and for Voice &#8211; the CUCM-Pub, CUCM-Sub, CUPS, and UC DB will be restored to where we the developers wish them to be for any given tech-focused or even multi-protocol lab. This will help you a great deal with pre-existing troubleshooting configs. In fact I don&#8217;t know how we could do without it now that troubleshooting is such a big part of the exam.</li>
<li>The ability to go ahead and work on your rack devices and later go back and check your DB restoration status.</li>
<li>The ability to clear any terminal server line or clear all lines</li>
<li>The ability to revert your entire pod back to a blank default status (great for those of you who might wish to rent back-to-back sessions for a power study weekend &#8211; but need to revert everything and load new configs for a new lab without calling tech-support.</li>
<li>For Voice: The ability to input your own MAC address for your own PSTN phone (be it software or hardware &#8211; no difference).</li>
<li>The ability to Start, Stop, Revert your VMWare Guest servers back to a snapshot (if you only want to clear the config on one server perhaps).</li>
<li>For Voice: New clients for a total of 3 supported software clients for your SCCP and SIP devices connecting to CUCM and CUCME.</li>
<li>For Voice: The ability dynamically change your PSTN simulator (router) for E1-R2 or E1-PRI</li>
<li>For Voice: The ability dynamically change your PSTN&#8217;s dialplan so that before your lab, you have studied with a varied view of dialplans &#8211; and don&#8217;t just have one specific one stuck in your head. This will be dynamically loaded based on the lab you choose when doing a &#8220;Load Lab Configs&#8221;.</li>
<li>And of course as always the ability to control the power to your devices</li>
</ul>
<p>But enough of the <strong>talk</strong> of what&#8217;s new &#8211; we&#8217;d rather <strong><a title="ProctorLabs v3 vRack Demo" href="http://proctorlabs.com/swf/demo/PLDemo.html" target="_blank">show</a> </strong>you what&#8217;s new.  <a title="ProctorLabs v3 vRack Demo" href="http://proctorlabs.com/swf/demo/PLDemo.html" target="_blank">This</a> is an in-depth look (and by in-depth I mean a ~40 minute runtime video &#8211; HD of course), at not only what&#8217;s new &#8211; but also how to use it. It covers both Voice and Security, and also for Voice walks you though how to correctly setup the IPBlue client so that it works for both signaling, and maybe more importantly, RTP streams going to the proper instance of the client, and is quickly deployed every future time you open it. In case you didn&#8217;t happen to catch any of those links, then <a title="ProctorLabs v3 vRack Demo" href="http://proctorlabs.com/swf/demo/PLDemo.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE.</a> ;-)</p>
<p>As for what&#8217;s up next? Well we have developers continuing to press forward writing new chapters for both the new Voice and Security workbooks, as well as working on the new class material for our <a title="Courses" href="http://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/products/category/Boot%20Camps" target="_blank">ILT</a> and <a title="Courses" href="http://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/products/category/Boot%20Camps" target="_blank">OWLE</a> courses. Since some of you have been asking about what that order looks like &#8211; here is the order we have been and will continue working on things in for both tracks:</p>
<ul>
<li>Workbook and Proctor Guide Volume 1 (<a href="http://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/product/sku/CCIE_Voice_Lab_Preparation_Workbook_V1" target="_blank">Voice</a>, <a href="http://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/product/sku/CCIE_Security_Lab_Preparation_Workbook_V1" target="_blank">Security</a>)</li>
<li>ILT Courseware (<a href="http://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/product/sku/CCIE_Voice_Lab_Boot_Camp_5_Days_Instructor_Led_Bootcamp" target="_blank">Voice</a>, <a href="http://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/product/sku/CCIE_Security_Lab_5_Day_Instructor_Led_Boot_Camp" target="_blank">Security</a>)</li>
<li>Workbook and Proctor Guide Volume 2 (<a href="http://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/product/sku/CCIE_Voice_Lab_Preparation_Workbook_V2" target="_blank">Voice</a>, <a href="http://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/product/sku/CCIE_Security_Lab_Preparation_Workbook_Volume2" target="_blank">Security</a>)</li>
<li>Lab Mentoring Kit (<a href="http://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/product/sku/IPX0698" target="_blank">Voice</a>, Security)</li>
<li>Video/Audio on Demand (<a href="http://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/product/sku/CCIE_Voice_Lab_Video_on_Demand_Series" target="_blank">Voice</a>, <a href="http://www.ipexpert.com/index.cfm/product/sku/CCIE_Security_Lab_Video_on_Demand" target="_blank">Security</a>)</li>
<li>Newer, Bigger, Better Somethings ???</li>
</ul>
<p>As always, the moment they are ready for press, we will upload them to your IPexpert.com Members area, and now also upload all of the new Initial and Final configs for your ProctorLabs &#8220;Load Lab Configs&#8221; section as well.</p>
<p>And of course &#8211; this will always be the first place you will find out about it &#8211; so I&#8217;d <a href="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/feed/" target="_blank">pull an RSS feed</a> to your reader of choice if I were you! As well many times great questions get asked and unclear topics get cleaned up by us in the comments section &#8211; so you may want to <a href="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/comments/feed/" target="_blank">pull an RSS feed to the comments</a> as well. If you just want info on Voice, for example, but not necessarily on other tracks, you can get more specific on the feed by simply clicking on any category on the right of the page and adding &#8220;/feed&#8221; to the end of the URI in the address bar. For instance here is <a href="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/category/ccie/voice-ccie/feed" target="_blank">just Voice posts</a>, and here is <a href="http://ipexpert.ccieblog.com/category/ccie/security-ccie/feed" target="_blank">just Security posts</a>.</p>
<p>Happy CCIE Labbing folks!</p>
