Cisco SDWAN Fundamentals v2.0

The Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment(SDWFND) course provides a comprehensive overview of the Cisco® Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) solution and Cisco SD-WAN components such as vManage, vSmart and vBond.

You will learn how to deploy, manage, and operate a secure, programmable, and scalable SD-WAN fabric using IOS XE Cisco SD-WAN products.

The course also covers how to configure, operate, and monitor overlay routing across the Cisco SD-WAN network.

In addition, you will learn about data and control policies, and how to deploy Quality of Service (QoS) and Direct Internet Access (DIA) in the SD-WAN overlay network.

Attendees should meet the following pre-requisites:

• Strong understanding of enterprise wide area network design
• Strong understanding of routing protocol operation, including both interior and exterior routing protocol operation
• Familiarity with Transport Layer Security (TLS) and IP Security (IPSec)

Recommended prerequisites:

• CCNA - Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions
• ENCOR - Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies

After completing this course you should be able to:

• Identify the various components and architecture of the Cisco SD-WAN solution.
• Deploy WAN Edge routers.
• Create templates to aide in the deployment and operation of the secure extensible network.
• Configure and verify Cisco SW-WAN overlay routing.
• Create simple policies to control traffic flow through the Cisco SD-WAN fabric.
