In order to reduce costs and increase flexibility, more and more manufacturers are converging their plant floor and IT networks. In the face of this trend, it is critical for plant floor engineers to understand the primary concepts of standard networking technology and how they apply to the manufacturing environment.
In response, Cisco and Rockwell Automation are offering this live 60-minute audio webcast that will prepare you with the knowledge you need to team with your IT department so you can migrate smoothly to a converged network. This webcast will get you "up to speed" on what you need to know about Ethernet networking best practices, including:
• Multi-tier network segmentation with managed switches and Virtual LAN(s)
• Real-time traffic performance, IP addressing, and management
• Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol for resiliency
• Security concepts, including the network edge and firewalls
• Traffic types, multicast traffic management, and quality of service (QoS) for traffic prioritization
After the webcast you will have access to the full design implementation guide that enables plant engineers to successfully deploy standard networking technologies on the manufacturing floor.
This special live audio broadcast also includes a live Q&A, so you can get answers to your questions about standard networking concepts and practices and how they can be applied to your manufacturing environment.
Topics to be covered include:
• Network Convergence
• Industrial Ethernet
• Multi-tier Network Segmentation with Managed Switches
• Real-Time Traffic Performance
• IP Addressing and Management
• Security Policies
• Live Q&A
Approximate duration: 60 minute
