ENCC

This training teaches skills for planning and implementing cloud connectivity in enterprise networks. You will learn how to extend networks via private and public Internet connections to cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. Topics covered include the basics of public cloud infrastructure, SaaS, DIA, and Cisco Umbrella integration. You will analyze and recommend scalable, fail-safe, and secure connectivity models. The course covers the implementation of IPsec and SD-WAN cloud connectivity, overlay routing with OSPF and BGP, and the application of control and data policies in SD-WAN fabrics. You will also integrate Cisco Umbrella Cloud Security and troubleshoot issues related to IPsec, SD-WAN, routing, application performance, and policy enforcement.
