The Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment (ENSDW) v1.0 course provides an overview of the Cisco® Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) solution and SD-WAN components. You 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. In addition, you will learn about policies and Quality of Service (QoS) in the SD-WAN overlay network.

The Cisco SD-WAN solution is a cloud-delivered overlay WAN architecture that facilitates digital and cloud transformation for enterprises. Cisco SD-WAN significantly reduces WAN costs and time to deploy new services. With Cisco SD-WAN, you can build a robust security architecture that’s crucial for hybrid networks and provides a strong policy framework.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

• Identify the various components and architecture of the Cisco SD-WAN solution

• Deploy vEdge routers in a secure extensible network

• Create templates to aid in the deployment and operation of the secure extensible network

• Configure and verify overlay routing in the secure extensible network

• Create simple policies to control traffic flow in the secure extensible network

How you'll benefit

This class will help you learn to use Cisco SD-WAN to:

• Establish transport-independent WAN for lower cost and higher diversity

• Meet SLAs for business-critical and real-time applications

• Provide end-to-end segmentation for protecting critical enterprise compute resources

• Extend seamlessly into the public cloud

• Optimize the user experience for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications
