The Cisco GSS Global Site Selector is a crucial component of any data center architecture that requires a secure site-to-site global load balancing. The GSS allows businesses to deploy global Internet and intranet applications with the confidence that all application users will be quickly rerouted to a standby data center during a primary data center outage or overload.

The aim of the this course is to prepare systems engineers to design, configure, manage, and troubleshoot Cisco GSS installations.

  • Implement basic IP activation of the Cisco GSS including interface addressing, user roles and IDs, NTP implementation, and SNMP configuration
  • Implement intelligent DNS configuration with the Cisco GSS
  • Implement and network multiple Cisco GSS devices in both a load-balancing and a DRP type of implementation
  • Choose and implement appropriate keepalive(s) necessary to insure minimum risk of a GSS giving an answer that refers to an unreachable device
  • Implement the appropriate DDoS mitigation techniques on the GSS
  • Troubleshoot GSS and DNS configurations
