Updating Active Datasets

Step 10 In the Date/Time area, click Daily, Weekly, Absolute or Constant. The egress route attribute is being applied according to these time segments.

a.If you select Daily, enter Start Time and End Time. Use the format shown in the example at the bottom of the Date/Time area:

hour(0-23):min (0-60):sec (0-60)

b.If you select Weekly, select day of the week from the pull-down menu and enter the Start Time and the End Time.

c.If you select Absolute, enter the Start Date, Start Time, End Date, and End Time.

The Start Date is the date when the egress route attribute becomes active. The End Date is the date when it becomes inactive. Use the formats shown in the example at the bottom of the Date/Time area:

4 digit year-2 digit month-2 digit day for date, as in 2002-12-03hour(0-23):min (0-60):sec (0-60) for time, as in 12:59:10

d.If you select Constant, the egress route attribute is applied at all times of all days.

Note If two RouteAttributes exist in the same timeframe with the same date and time constraint, the RouteAttribute is “nondeterminstic.” That is, the order of selection among time intervals of the same type that overlap cannot be determined.

Step 11 In the Available Routes box, click Add or Remove to add or remove a route from the Associated Routes box respectively.

Step 12 Click Add to add this egress route attribute, or click Cancel to exit.

Modifying Egress Route Attributes

Step 1 In the Active Dataset tab in the CSR window, click the down arrow in the Selection box, then select Egress Route Attributes from the pull-down menu.

Step 2 Click the down arrow in the Carriers box, then select the appropriate carrier from the pull-down menu. A list of Egress Route Attribute names of the selected carrier appears ( Figure4-26 “List of Egress Route Attribute Names in Active Dataset”):

Version 1.1 specifications

Cisco Systems Version 1.1 introduced significant advancements in network technology, setting a new standard for performance, security, and management in the ever-evolving landscape of enterprise networking. This version is characterized by a robust architecture that supports a wide array of devices and applications, ensuring seamless connectivity and efficiency for businesses of all sizes.

One of the standout features of Cisco Systems Version 1.1 is its enhanced routing capabilities. The introduction of advanced routing protocols enables more efficient data handling and traffic management. This improvement translates into reduced latency and optimized bandwidth utilization, which are crucial for organizations relying on real-time applications like VoIP and video conferencing.

Another notable technology integrated into Version 1.1 is the expanded support for Software-Defined Networking (SDN). This allows network administrators to manage their network resources more flexibly and dynamically, adapting quickly to changing demands. With SDN, Cisco provides a centralized control plane that enables automated provisioning and orchestration of network services, ultimately leading to reduced operational costs and improved service quality.

Security improvements are also a hallmark of Cisco Systems Version 1.1. The incorporation of advanced intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) enhances the overall security posture of networks. Additionally, built-in encryption protocols ensure that data is transmitted securely, safeguarding sensitive information from potential cyber threats.

Furthermore, Version 1.1 emphasizes user experience with its intuitive management interface. Network monitoring and troubleshooting tools have been redesigned to be more user-friendly, allowing IT teams to quickly identify and resolve issues, thereby minimizing downtime and improving overall network reliability.

Scalability is another critical characteristic of this version, designed to accommodate the growth of companies. Whether an organization is expanding its physical infrastructure or transitioning to cloud-based services, Cisco Systems Version 1.1 provides the flexibility necessary to scale operations without sacrificing performance.

In summary, Cisco Systems Version 1.1 is a comprehensive networking solution that integrates advanced routing capabilities, SDN support, enhanced security features, and a user-friendly management interface. Its scalability ensures that it can meet the growing demands of modern enterprises, making it a pivotal choice for businesses looking to optimize their networking infrastructure. As companies continue to embrace digital transformation, Cisco Systems Version 1.1 stands out as a reliable foundation for future growth and innovation.
