New DMS 5.2.3 Course Release
Fast Lane is proud to announce the new release of Digital Media Suite (DMS) version 5.2.3.
The Cisco DMS course, exclusively delivered by Fast Lane, has been updated to include many new features available in the 5.2.3 software release.
DMS version 5.2.3 introduces two big new features and this is covered in two new lessons:
- High Availability (failover servers) - allows customer to have redundant equipment so if something happens with primary DMM or SnS servers backup will take over automatically
- Single Sign-On (SSO) - allows users with just one login to access all services (DMM and SnS)
Another new feature introduced in DMS 5.2.3 is related to Medianet improvements:
DMPs are now able to automatically receive IP address of DMM from DHCP server (together with their IP address and subnet mask and default gateway). This functionality has been available on Cisco IP phones and many customers where looking for this feature in DMPs
Fast Lane has introduced many new elements into the course with this version, both in labs and lessons:
- New lesson about Content Development with appropriate lab is actually covering majority of the ADS course
- Proof of Play lesson is again officially included as part of Digital Signs module, together with completely new labs (PoP, scheduler and DMS-CD)
- Many small features were introduced in Show and Share and are mainly cosmetic nature
Almost every lab from version 5.2.2 is rewritten and improved, with many new tasks implemented that will increase your knowledge of Cisco's DMS platform.

CCNP E-Learning (ELT) Demo
Check out our CCNP ELT Demo - with the introduction of the new CCNP curriculum, Cisco also introduced a new eLearning format called ELT. The main difference between traditional e-learning and ELT is that ELT includes hands-on experience by using a technique called a "directed demo". A directed demo walks the student through a certain configuration or troubleshooting scenario by showing the network diagram, the command line interface of all devices as well as all the configuration / troubleshooting steps that are required to complete the lab exercise.
Fast Lane is proud to offer a free demo of this eLearning format from the new CCNP TSHOOT course. Here you will see how this new format helps to reinforce the lecture content by actually showing you the specific commands required to complete the lesson tasks. You will be lead through a scenerio where the instructor explains the objectives of the lesson and then see the actual CLI commands and output of these configurations.
New and Redesigned Cisco CCNP Program
Fast Lane is pleased to offer the redesigned CCNP Curriculum announced on January 25, 2010. The new CCNP certification program now incorporates self-paced e-learning modules that augment a curriculum which focuses more on job tasks such as planning and troubleshooting.
Fast Lane is also offering new assessment tests that correspond with the new CCNP curriculum. The assessment tests are a great way to help you measure your technical proficiencies and select the appropriate course. You can locate these tests within the Learning Center on the Fast Lane Community Site.
The three new cohesive five-day courses include: Implementing Cisco Switched Networks (SWITCH), Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE), and Troubleshooting and Maintaining Cisco IP Networks (TSHOOT). Additionally, the new e-learning modules extend classroom materials with enhanced content that can be accessed by class participants at any time.
CCNP certification is a highly sought-after validation of an individual’s professional level technical skills and familiarity with Cisco routing and switching technologies. With a CCNP certification, a network professional has demonstrated the knowledge and skills required to manage the routers and switches that form the enterprise network core. CCNP certification adds value for the IT professional, especially in tough economic times, and can facilitate pay increases, job opportunities, and career advancement.
As a valued Cisco Learning Solutions Partner (CLSP) - the highest accreditation for Cisco Learning Partners - Fast Lane’s CCNP course offerings will utilize authorized Cisco training materials, so students can be assured that the curriculum is current and aligned with the latest Cisco exams, products, services and technologies.
