Cisco Tech Stories

In this month episode, we interview Andrew Yourtchenko, old timer from Cisco TAC Firewall team, then Technical Marketing engineer for IPv6, release manager for VPP dataplanes and finally working at the IETF group over IPv6 and AI.

For the summer break, we come back on the best moments of our 3 years of this podcast and share our top 10 (or 11) episodes.

In today's episode, Cisco CX engineers and architects reveal how cruise ship networks are built and upgraded: everything from door locks and cameras to navigation and guest entertainment runs over the same segmented, secured infrastructure, and internet connectivity depends on intermittent satellite links so content must be stored locally. We follow a high‑stakes dry dock upgrade on a large cruise ship — with tight timelines, complex staging, and on‑the‑fly design changes to handle issues like NAT, multicast/PTP, MTU and firewall integration — and learn how planning, testing and rapid problem‑solving kept the ship sailing.

In this episode, we interview Sheikh Habeebul Haq who is the first visually impaired engineer to ever pass the CCIE exam. He tells us how the exam has been for him and how he helped develop accessibility in the CCIE exam.
What about you ? What's your excuse for not going for CCIE ? :-)
