San Jose State University Apple Airplay for Webex Devices Discussion

Scenario1: You are on a project to implement the new feature Apple Airplay for Webex Devices in our campus networks (campus networks are the wireless networks we operate in our San Jose Offices for employee use).  Assume that our campus network is a standard Layer2 network design with wireless APs connected to a switch and switch connected to a gateway(router). Webex devices connect to the same switch.

How would you learn the basics of this technology in the first week of the project? Please be as specific as possible.

How would you recommend the planning of the project to take this from idea (new feature) to implementation (have it working on our actual production network). [*I am looking for how you structure a plan and communicate it]

How would you define a “Definition of Done”? – the criteria to measure against so you can explain to your boss what the goal is and what success looks like

Scenario2: You are tasked with executing a Proof of Concept for the following: Given a single switch (Catalyst C9300X-48HX) we want to test the hypothesis that an identifiable change in power draw (amps) can be correlated with specific operations executed on the switch (CLI commands).  For example, if you, as switch administrator, create a diagnostic report on the C9300 by running the command [c9300# show tech] that the power used by the switch will change in response. 

You are asked to build a Proof of Concept lab and identify test cases to validate this hypothesis.  Assume your equipment lists is (1) C9300X-48HX, (1) power monitor outlet (device that measures realtime power usage), (1) webapp that retrieves the data from the power monitor and displays it and all needed cabling.

Briefly describe how you would physically build this lab

What measurements and data would be necessary to complete this PoC? as detailed as possible.

1. What are some data quality issues or other problems you might run into?

Create a test case using Description, Measurements and Pass/Fail criteria format.
