Cisco SD WAN Training

The Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment (ENSDW) v1.0 course provides an overview of the Cisco SD-WAN solution and SD-WAN components. Students will learn how to create, manage, and operate a secure extensible network using Cisco SD-WAN products. The course covers how to configure, operate, and monitor overlay routing in a secure extensible network. Students will also learn about policies and quality of service (QoS) in the SD-WAN overlay network.

Objectives Include:

• Know and understand Cisco’s SD-WAN concepts, features, benefits, terminology and the way this approach innovates common administrative tasks on today’s networks.
• Differentiate and explain each of the building blocks of SD-WAN Solution
• Explain the concept of “Fabric” and the different node types that conform it (Fabric Edge Nodes, Control Plane Nodes, Management Nodes and Orchestration Nodes) 
• Identify the roles and functions of vEdge, vSmart, vManage and vBond entities 
• Know and understand the Zero Touch Provisioning Model 
• Know and understand the Zero Trust Provisioning Model 
• Identify Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) as a key element of the SD-WAN solution and the role it plays for Control Plane setup 
• Understand segmentation of SD-WAN fabric, through the use of VPN’s (VRF’s) 
• Understand the role that templates have in SD-WAN solution, differentiate templates and know how to apply them 
• Differentiate Control, Data and Application Route Policies and know how they are used in SD-WAN 
• Identify and apply QoS mechanisms to SD-WAN fabric 
• Discuss Use Cases for SD-WAN  

This new Cisco self-paced course is designed to be as effective as classroom training. Course content is presented in easily-consumable segments via both Instructor Video and text. Interactivity is enabled through Discovery Labs, content review questions, and graded Challenge labs and tests. This makes the learning experience hands-on, increasing course effectiveness, and provides students direct feedback on how well they have mastered the material. And gamification features are built in, including earning badges and a leaderboard, to encourage better performance.
