Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment - (Digital Library)

The Cisco SD-WAN solution is a cloud-delivered overlay WAN architecture that facilitates digital and cloud transformation for enterprises. Cisco SD-WAN significantly reduces WAN costs and time to deploy new services. With Cisco SD-WAN, you can build a robust security architecture that’s crucial for hybrid networks and provides a strong policy framework.

This Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment (SDWFND) course provides an overview of the Cisco® Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) solution and SD-WAN components. Learn how to create, manage, and operate a secure extensible network using Cisco SD-WAN products. Gain the skills to configure, operate, and monitor overlay routing in a secure extensible network whilst developing an understanding of the policies and Quality of Service (QoS) deployed 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 vEdge routers in a secure extensible network.
• Create templates to aide in the deployment and operation of the secure extensible network.
• Configure and verify overlay routing in the secure extensible network.
• Create simple policies to control traffic flow in the secure extensible network.
