Waiting on Cisco's next earnings report
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/41488
Everyone with an investment in the U.S. and global economy is
waiting to hear what Cisco will report for its next quarterly
results on Wednesday, May 6. Few think that Cisco will report
stellar figures (analysts expect Cisco to post a 17% decline in
revenue, and a 34% drop in earnings per share). But if it offers
a hopeful outlook for the next two quarters, it could inject
another boost of much-needed optimism into the economy.

Brad Reese on Cisco: New HP Networking boss took $17.2M from
EMC, but sues to void his non-compete agreement
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/41451 The Boston
Globe is reporting that new HP Networking boss David Donatelli
(executive vice president of HP's Enterprise Servers, Storage
and Networking) is suing his former employer EMC in California
state court seeking to void his non-compete agreement.
Jimmy Ray Purser: Networking Geek to Geek: How to Keep Intrusion
Detection From Sucking
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/41371 I have never
been a fan of fishing with plastic worms. Not because it's a
real worm Vs fake worm purest argument, heck I've fished with
TNT before as a kid. Now that's a real hoot! It's because I have
never ever caught a single thing with them. To me, they are
ineffective and a waste of time/money.
Jamey Heary: Cisco Security Expert: Cisco Introduces IPS Card
for the ASA 5505
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/41189 Ever wondered
what that blank slot in your ASA5505 is for? Well now you know,
it's for a modular IPS card. Adding full-blown IPS to the
ASA5505 will substantially increase its ability to protect you.
The AIP SSC-5 provides up to 75 Mbps of IPS or IDS throughput
and supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The 75Mbps performance
with 4000 maximum connections per second should be able to
accommodate just about any SOHO or branch office configuration,
the sweet spot for the ASA5505.

http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/41466 So, it's taken
a few months, and a break for a topic or two, but I've made it
to the last post on my Springtime CCNA/CCNP lab series. I'll
suggest an option or two with a $750 budget, give some pros and
cons, and give some comments on some of your suggestions as
well.
Larry Chaffin: Putting Realism Into Your Network: Interop is off
to a good start, my schedule is getting full
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/41408 I had the
chance not too long ago to chat with the GM of Interop on a
conference call; he told me that he was really not seeing a drop
in attendance. I am not sure about that until I get there but
the vendors are sure coming out for the event. I have had over
40 vendors contact me for meeting and briefings while at
Interop. Before you ask me, Cisco has not contacted me at all.
