Course Overview:

This 3-day course covers Cisco Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) which is an overlay architecture that overcomes the biggest drawbacks of traditional WAN. Students will be able to describe Cisco SD-WAN options over any transport (MPLS, Broadband, LTE, VSAT, etc.), describe and discuss different designs along with deployment scenarios and decide what troubleshooting, management, policy control and application visibility elements to apply across the enterprise. This hands-on course covers the Cisco SD-WAN solution and contains extensive practices and design workshop to reinforce the knowledge learned.
