Wireshark captures

For those who like to use Wireshark captures in classes, there is a very good capture repository at:  http://packetlife.net/captures/

Students can easily view capture files on the browser (via Cloudshark) without having to install Wireshark. It is very fast and there are many captures about most of the CCNA & CCNP subjects. Also it's a good choice for those using a lab with polices not allowing Wireshark installation.

The role of Technical Marketing Engineers at Cisco

Cisco regularly gives presentations about jobs at Cisco and partners. This presentation offers background information by Cisco about building products and jobs that support partners and customers to use the products. Cisco Technical Marketing Engineers (TME) play an important role, because they are both technical and communicative.

To build a product like Catalyst 9200 , we need to ask:
Do we really need to build a new product?
What are customers looking for?
How many and what type of ports do we need?
What software features are required?
How will we license and price this product?

Once the product is built, we need to:
Educate our sales teams about it
Inform our customers of the new product
Write technical collateral to help with using it
Collect customer feedback and continue improving it

Speakers

Jeff McLaughlin, Director of Technical Marketing
Kanu Gupta, Technical Marketing Engineer
