Beyond Recovery: Building Cyber Resilience That Anticipates, Withstands, and Adapts
AI-powered attacks have changed disaster recovery fundamentally. These attacks target backup repositories alongside production data, with 93% now compromising the systems that organizations depend on for recovery. Effective cyber resilience requires protection built into the storage layer itself—detecting threats as they occur, creating recovery points attackers cannot alter, and validating procedures before incidents happen. NetApp's integrated capabilities and WWT's Advanced Technology Center validation provide this protection across hybrid environments.
BGP Communities
In this lab, participants will delve into the intricacies of using BGP communities for route management, focusing on how to effectively advertise routes from a data center and enable branch offices to act upon those community values. The lab provides a hands-on learning experience on the application of BGP community attributes to control routing policies and decisions across a network. Starting with an introduction to BGP communities and their significance in route tagging and policy implementation, participants will configure a simulated network where a data center advertises routes tagged with specific community values. The next phase involves setting up branch office routers to recognize these community tags and apply predetermined routing policies based on these tags, such as preferential path selection, traffic prioritization, or route filtering. Through this practical exercise, learners will grasp the power of BGP communities in simplifying network management and achieving more granular control over route propagation and policy enforcement in a distributed network environment.

Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1
This lab is the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1, and after completion, the student can launch Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 to complete the entire lab. The lab uses the ACI virtual simulator based on ACI Version 6.1(3f), emulating an APIC, 2 leafs, and a spine. Part 2 uses a shared physical ACI fabric to complete the policy and verify data plane connectivity.
The ACI Virtual Simulator was needed to demo the building of the ACI fabric from scratch, bootstrapping the APIC, adding the spine and leafs, fabric discovery, and completing VMM integration. Since the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab, Part 2 is a shared on-demand environment, to decouple the APIC build process from the APIC policy creation. Due to limitations, the virtual ACI fabric is a control plane-only simulator, and no data plane testing (Ping, SSH) can get done for validation. Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 uses a Tenant inside of a physical ACI, and data plane functionality can get tested ( Ping, SSH)
