I also want to thank the NAC Appliance Business Unit at Cisco and specifically Prem who hosted me out in San Jose, he is the real Rock Star!

NEW NAC Chalk Talk Series - Starting Sept 13th

There is a new NAC chalk talk series starting next week and excitingly enough I will be the first person to present! My chalk talk will be focused around how to make your deployment more successful. This is your chance to ask me questions and get the answers live via IPTV! :)

If you are unfamiliar with the NAC chalktalks, they are a great source of information about how to design, deploy, configure, troubleshoot, operate and optimize Cisco NAC Appliance. Please review the existing series by visiting the below link:

NACA Chalk Talks

The guys at the BU have invested a lot of time on getting people the basic knowledge about NACA by doing a "chalk talk" series that can provide you with a really good resource. If you are joining us with zero knowledge or just basic knowledge these presentations are a great place to start. They do require CCO Login, but are definitely worth filling out the form. I probably will not talk about any of the topics in the presentations, because that would not hold any value, but you probably will see me expand on some of the topics that did not get as much attention as warranted.
