Doesanyone know if there are any Cisco Press books or e-books coming for Cisco Webex Calling or Webex Contact Center? I'm looking for a book that covers things from a technical and engineering standpoint, not a marketing standpoint.

After casual introductions, we began our discussion on the book amidst the puzzling eyes of others at adjacent tables, who had no clue of what we were up to. What fascinated me the most was how our professional titles, differences and identities melted away as the discussion progressed.


Everyone shared their perspectives and thoughts, irrespective of their years of experience, which was a true representation of Cisco culture. The viewpoints were absolutely fresh and showed me new ways of interpreting the same story. There was one specific perspective which blew me away as a member associated the non-human characters in the book with human genders! It made me marvel at the imagination of my fellow readers and also sparked my dormant brain cells.


We completed our fourth book at the end of February and eagerly began discussing books for upcoming months. We are proud of covering multiple genres consciously, to cater to the interests of all our members. Time permitting, we love to discuss characters from the book in depth, debating on whether their reactions in the context were realistic or not.


Hi folks, I started to wrap my head around how to build a custom solution around the CUCM to simulate several separated phone books and to allow users to search data only in their specific phone book, without accessing other pieces of info. I'm reasoning on 2 ways UDS and LDAP. I'm starting from scratch, therefore all kinds of pointers, and dos & dont's are very welcome.


For Jabber, assuming the user directory data is in LDAP, this config page seems to be a good solution, i.e. create different Directory UC Profiles, with LDAP search base unique for each: -communications/jabber/213803-configure-ldap-as-a-directory-contact-so.html


The sandbox is accessed via VPN, and doesn't have external internet connectivity, so if you need to use an external host (like an LDAP) you may need to consider using a hardware router that connects to the sandbox via VPN, so you can share the connection with your PC/LDAP/phones, etc.


Hi @dstaudt! My app should be twofold: it should serve custom phone books both for IP phones and for Jabber clients. Not sure if IP Phone Services alone can fulfill such needs. I guess that my problem is similar to this one (they seem using UDS). I'll review your repo to get some insights. Excuse me if this question is too broad.


I do have the third book "Practical Deployment of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)" and it is fairly good book for ISE starters with some good tips and tricks but it doesn't touch ISE 2.0 in anyway since it was released way earlier Nov 2015.


So If you are an ISE starter then all the listed books above will hugely benefits you, If you are an ISE 1.x Professional you can easily port all your expirence to ISE 2.0 with no pain and you can learn about the new feature now from Cisco Documentation (only option now).


A student of Cisco College is under no obligation to purchase textbooks from the university-affiliated bookstore. The same textbooks may also be available from an independent retailer, including an online retailer.


Their first Book Sprint in 2014 was an experiment for Cisco. No stranger to technical documentation, they had at that stage been writing and publishing through their own publishing house, Cisco Press, for over 20 years. Cisco Press books go through a very particular production process, typically involving just one or two writers whose task it is to map and conceptualise the topic, filling in the gaps in their own knowledge through a range of experts. Production can take from six months to two years.


Cisco Book Sprints have flipped that process on its head by bringing the engineers, who build and maintain the technology, together to create a shared understanding of the software and write the guide themselves. And it all happens within a much tighter timeline.


I like reading. Not so much fiction, but I'm always reading a number of books on networking or security or whatever. Unfortunately, being positioned in Iraq limits the amount of printed material I can collect. That's why, when I discovered Inside Cisco IOS Software Architecture, I decided to order an ebook from Cisco Press. Silly me.


Now, I own the dead-tree edition of the Cisco Press CCNP set, and each book includes a wonderful, industry standard PDF version of the printed book. Very handy for quickly switching between books in the course of research. These PDFs are without any sort of DRM protection. Dare I hope the ebooks ordered directly from Cisco Press provide the same convenience?


After some research, it was discovered that ETD is a DRM-crippled, Windows-only PDF wrapper. Except I use Linux. In fact, the stats show roughly 25% of this site's readers use a non-Windows OS. I'll admit I'm just a simple backwoods network engineer, but is alienating a quarter of your target audience a good business strategy?


Honestly, I thought the industry had outgrown this childish behavior. DRM does not work. This has been proven over and over and over. The only thing DRM accomplishes is pissing off honest people who were misled into purchasing a crippled product.


Irritated, I contacted Cisco Press and requested either a standard PDF version of the book, or a refund. They opted to refund my purchase, which was unsurprising. However, I also asked that they disclose the DRM limitations in the future, and today I see they now have a link on the product page which reads "Read our Non-DRM PDF FAQ." At the time of this writing, the FAQ is empty, but hopefully it will soon disclose their ebooks' limitations.


Warning: Contains SPOILERS for The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2.For as long as Cisco has been in The Lincoln Lawyer, he has played with fire by not cutting off his ties with his past - here's what the original books reveal about his fate and its connection with his past. In The Lincoln Lawyer's season 1, Cisco was last seen rejecting Haller's help and accepting a deal with Teddy, the leader of the biker gang he used to be a part of. As Cisco rides off on his bike after making this deal with Teddy, it becomes hard not to wonder if he will even return in The Lincoln Lawyer season 2's storyline. Fortunately, he does not abandon Lorna and returns as a supporting character in season 2.


While he continues working as a private investigator in The Lincoln Lawyer season 2, Cisco also seemingly maintains ties with his former gang, the Road Saints. When Lorna learns about this and confronts him, he reveals that he still has unfinished business with the Road Saints. He also recalls how Kaz had once saved him from getting sentenced to prison, due to which he feels indebted to him. Although Lorna supports his decision to finish his business with the biker club before cutting all connections with him, Cisco's links with his past could spell trouble for him in the future.


Cisco has dealt with a fair share of dire situations and troubles in the original Lincoln Lawyer book series, but he is still alive. In The Lincoln Lawyer show, especially in season 2, part 1, Cisco's problems primarily revolve around his association with the Road Saints and how it negatively impacts his relationship with Lorna. In the original books, however, Cisco's former biker gang hardly plays a role in his overarching narrative. The Road Saints in the books do not affect Cisco's relationship in any way and are only significant when Cisco seeks their help during his private investigation endeavors.


In the relative timeline of the Lincoln Lawyer books, Cisco and Lorna are already married because Haller has no issues with their relationship and Cisco has moved on from his past criminal ties. Cisco's debt to Kaz is a sub-plot created for the show to effectively heighten the drama in Cisco and Lorna's storyline in The Lincoln Lawyer season 2, part 1. There are a few moments in the books, though, where Cisco, too, has a brush with doom. For instance, Cisco has a terrible motorcycle accident in the books after a car drives him out of his lane. Luckily for him, he gets away with only an ACL tear.


Considering how Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer has significantly changed Cisco's arc, his fate in the show could differ from the novels. His dangerous alliance with Kaz could get him in trouble, and if Teddy figures out what he is up to, things could take a seriously grim turn for Cisco and Lorna. The Lincoln Lawyer season 2, part 1 also hints at this when Kaz asks Lorna to avoid taking Cisco's last name after their wedding. While this change in direction for Cisco's narrative in Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer does not confirm he will die, it seemingly foreshadows how more drama and action will ensue in his overarching story.


For network engineers, software developers, and IT specialists in general, we offer a wide selection of Cisco textbooks that help students complete various training and get Cisco certified at the end. Study materials are available for all tracks (Data Centers, DevNet, Security, CyberOps, Collaboration, and others). They include both exam preparation materials and books devoted to specific tasks, such as configuring a Cisco network or network device management. Proficiency range has four levels: Entry, Associate, Specialist, and Expert.
