NVIDIA Blueprints: PDF Ingestion, also known as NVIDIA-Ingest, or NV-Ingest, this blueprint is a scalable, performance-oriented document content and metadata extraction microservice. Including support for parsing PDFs, Word and PowerPoint documents, it uses specialized NVIDIA NIM microservices to find, contextualize, and extract text, tables, charts and images for use in downstream generative applications.

Cisco NGFW Foundation Lab is a capability of the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the fundamental features of the Cisco Secure Firewall solution. The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

MPLS has been around for over two decades and is the cornerstone of Service Provider Networks and many enterprise, utility and federal networks. MPLS delivers mission-critical applications and services. Segment Routing has taken the stage to replace MPLS because it accomplishes the same as MPLS but is less complex, extremely robust and can be scaled without limitations. This lab will introduce you to the basics of Segment Routing.

This configuration workbook lab aims to equip learners with a solid understanding of Cisco Layer Two switching technologies. Participants will learn to configure and manage VLANs, trunk links, port channels, and Spanning Tree Protocol, while also exploring additional features like DTP and Port Security. By the end, learners will be able to validate their configurations, ensuring effective implementation of these technologies in real-world networking environments.

The Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Foundations Lab is a capability of the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the fundamental features of Cisco's SD-WAN solution. The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

Cisco Catalyst Center takes a software-delivered approach to automating and assuring services across your campus, WAN and branch networks. Based on an open and extensible platform, Catalyst Center allows you to build value on the network, so you can streamline operations and facilitate IT and business innovation. This lab closely matches the Cisco SD-Access Foundation lab.

Explore the power of eBPF with the eBPF Learning Sandbox V1, a hands-on lab designed to introduce the core concepts and capabilities of this cutting-edge kernel technology powering products like Hypershield and Cilium.

This lab is a continuation of the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1 to allow students to explore the basics of ACI Constructs, building an Application Profile, EPGs and Bridge domains, Policy Filters, and Contracts. The students then connect the ACI fabric to external layers 2 and 3 devices. The lab then finishes with ACI micro-segmentation inside an EPG to show a zero-trust model. Unlike Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1, which uses a simulator due to resource sharing with other students, this lab uses the latest ACI hardware and allows the student to test real-world data plane connectivity inside and outside the fabric.

This lab guide is intended for administrators who are responsible for deploying and configuring Cisco IOS-XE solutions. Participants should have at least a basic understanding of WLAN concepts. It is assumed that participants have at least a working understanding of fundamental wireless concepts as well as Cisco technology.

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, 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)

This lab will enable a student to build a basic multi-site fabric using Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) for complete end-to-end connectivity.

This Sandbox environment features a pre-configured network topology designed to showcase the diverse capabilities of the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN solution. The incorporated set of components within the lab topology include Controllers and IOS-XE WAN Edges (Catalyst 8000V), all running on 20.12.4/17.12.4 code.
