Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment

Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment Course Overview

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.

•

• This course is worth 16 Continuing Education (CE) credits.

Skills Gained

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.
