Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions (ENSDWI)

Ziele

This course will help you learn to use Cisco SD-WAN to:

• Establish a transport-independent WAN for lower cost and higher diversity
• Meet Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) for business-critical and real-time applications
• Provide end-to-end segmentation for protecting critical enterprise compute resources
• Extend seamlessly into the public cloud
• Optimize the user experience for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications

After taking this course, you should be able to:

• Describe the Cisco SD-WAN overlay network and how modes of operation differ in legacy WAN versus SD-WAN
• Describe options for SD-WAN cloud and on-premises deployments, as well as how to deploy virtual vEdge and physical cEdge devices with Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and device templates
• Describe best practices in WAN routing protocols, as well as how to configure and implement transport-side connectivity, service-side routing, interoperability, and redundancy and high availability
• Describe dynamic routing protocols and best practices in an SD-WAN environment, transport-side connectivity, service-side connectivity, and how redundancy and high availability are achieved in SD-WAN environments
• Explain how to migrate from legacy WAN to Cisco SD-WAN, including typical scenarios for data center and branch
• Explain how to perform SD-WAN Day 2 operations, such as monitoring, reporting, logging, and upgrading

Zielgruppe

• System installers
• System integrators
• System administrators
• Network administrators
• Solutions designers
