Network segmentation involves splitting a large network into multiple smaller ones to improve security, management, and performance. These network segments not only reduce congestion and improve traffic flow, but also provide […]
When Cisco and Nutanix partnered in August, it raised questions about the future development of Cisco’s HyperFlex platform. The other shoe dropped this week as Cisco said it would cease development of its hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) system. Cisco announced the end-of-sale and end-of-life dates for its HyperFlex Data Platform (HXDP); the last day to order […]

Toyota assembly plants across Japan shut down for about a day last week due to a malfunction following routine maintenance. Insufficient disk space in servers used to process parts orders caused the systems to become unavailable, according to the automaker. Toyota this week provided the cause of the production system outage and reassured customers and […]
In the MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) IS-IS Configuration lesson and other MPLS TE lessons, I use IS-IS as the IGP on the TE routers. In this lesson, we’ll use OSPF instead. I’ll walk you through the entire configuration, but because I already explained in detail how to configure an MPLS TE network step-by-step, I’ll only focus […]
In the introduction to MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) lesson, I gave a short overview of how MPLS TE uses RSVP-TE (Resource Reservation Protocol – Traffic Engineering). In this lesson, we’ll take a closer look. RSVP-TE is a signaling protocol and an extension of RSVP. RSVP-TE uses a soft state to manage its resource reservation states. This […]
In this lesson, I’ll explain how to configure MPLS VPN per VRF TE tunnels. If you haven’t configured MPLS VPN over TE tunnels before, look at our MPLS VPN over MPLS TE tunnels first. Building a TE tunnel for customer VRFs doesn’t make much sense because of scalability issues. If you have more traffic in a […]
