Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions (ENSDWI)


Request for price


Length: 5 day (40 hours)

 

The Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions (ENSDWI) training helps you design, deploy, configure, and manage the Cisco software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) solution in a large-scale network, including how to migrate from legacy WAN to Cisco SD-WAN. You will learn best practices for configuring routing protocols in the data center and the branch, and how to implement advanced control, data, and application-aware policies. This training also covers placement of controllers, how to deploy WAN Edge devices, multicast and quality of service (QoS), how to configure direct internet access (DIA) breakout, and various Application Quality of Experience (AppQoE) traffic optimization capabilities

There are no prerequisites for this training. However, the knowledge and skills you are recommended to have before attending this training are:

  • Knowledge of software-defined networking (SDN) concepts as applied to large scale live network deployments
  • Strong understanding of enterprise WAN 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)

  • Individuals seeking the Cisco CCNP Enterprise certification or the Cisco Certified Specialist—Enterprise SD-WAN Implementation
  • Pre- and post-sales Network Engineers involved in the installation, support, and troubleshooting of a Cisco SD-WAN overlay network
