Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment

Cisco Platinum Learning Partner Logo

In many company networks, there is a desire to use a high-performance and inexpensive internet connection in addition to a high-class MPLS connection for site coupling. On the one hand, the traffic should be secured and, on the other hand, routed dynamically and depending on the requirements of the applications via the different transport networks. Cisco's SD-WAN solution (formerly Viptela) meets these requirements by setting up an IPSec-based overlay network in which the automated integration of sites, routing and management of multiple controllers is centrally controlled.

In this training course, you will learn how to carry out the initial configuration of an SD-WAN and automate it using zero-touch provisioning. You will also be introduced to the use of templates for convenient configuration of large networks and the use of policies for centralized control of routing and traffic management. Methods for optimizing cloud applications are also touched on.

Target Group

The course is aimed at Cloud and Cloud Consumer Administrators, Cloud Engineers, DevOps Engineers, System Engineers and Solution Architects who want to gain insights into Viptela technology.

Knowledge Prerequisites

Participants should have basic knowledge of enterprise WAN design, routing protocols (OSPF, BGP-4) as well as TLS and IPSec.

Classroom training

Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!

Hybrid training

Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.

Online training

You wish to attend a course in online mode? We offer you online course dates for this course topic. To attend these seminars, you need to have a PC with Internet access (minimum data rate 1Mbps), a headset when working via VoIP and optionally a camera. For further information and technical recommendations, please refer to.

Cisco Digital Learning

This course is available in the Cisco Digital Learning Library. These recently developed, multi-modal training events include HD videos moderated by lecturers with stored searchable text and subtitles, as well as a exercises, labs, and explanatory text and graphics. We provide this offer to you via our myExperTeach learning portal. Effective of the activation of the account, access to the courses will be granted for a duration of 6 months. In the case of packet solutions (Cisco Digital Learning Subscriptions), this time period will amount to 12 months.
