Cisco AI Solutions on Cisco Infrastructure Essentials: A Learning Experience or a Marketing Strategy?


I recently completed the AI Solutions on Cisco Infrastructure Essentials course on U. Cisco, and while it provided some useful insights into AI infrastructure, it also felt very much like a marketing pitch for Cisco’s AI products and solutions.

The course covered AI workloads, network design, security practices, and interoperability—all within the Cisco ecosystem. While these are valuable topics, the focus was primarily on how Cisco hardware and solutions support AI, rather than a broader discussion on AI infrastructure in general.

That being said, one undeniable benefit of this training is that it provides 34 Continuing Education (CE) credits, which can be useful for recertification. If you're looking to earn CE credits while getting an overview of how Cisco envisions AI infrastructure, this course might be worth considering.

Would I recommend it? If you're deeply invested in Cisco infrastructure, sure. But if you're looking for vendor-neutral AI knowledge, you might want to explore other options.

Configuring WireGuard on a MikroTik router

Image
Configuring WireGuard on a MikroTik router involves several steps. MikroTik introduced WireGuard support in RouterOS v7, so ensure your router is running this version or later. Here’s a step-by-step guide to set up WireGuard VPN on a MikroTik device: Prerequisites MikroTik Router  with RouterOS v7 or later. WinBox  or web-based admin access to the MikroTik router. WireGuard client  installed on your device (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android). WireGuard Configuration on MikroTik Step 1: Generate Keys You will need to generate a public/private key pair for both the server (MikroTik) and each client. On a Linux machine (or use a WireGuard client on any OS): wg genkey | tee server_private.key | wg pubkey > server_public.key wg genkey | tee client_private.key | wg pubkey > client_public.key Save these keys securely. You'll need to configure the MikroTik router with the server keys and provide the clie...

A secure and cost-effective SOHO (home office) network design.

Image
Setting up a MikroTik router in a Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) environment can be quite beneficial due to MikroTik's feature-rich capabilities and flexibility. Here's a general guide to setting up a MikroTik router in a SOHO environment: In this project I would like to share a comprehensive guide to setting up a home network. You can build this secure network easily and on a budget. Here is a network diagram that I will follow, I think every small home office usually has these requirements. There is a lot of information in this diagram, but don't worry, I will walk you through it all step by step. If you want to save yourself the headache and time, you can contact me to help you build this network, otherwise you can follow me and hope it will be useful to you. Initial example Setup : Connect your MikroTik router to your modem using an Ethernet cable. Connect your computer to one of the LAN ports on the MikroTik router. Access the MikroTik router's web interface using...
