Course Description

This course covers Cisco Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) which is an overlay architecture that overcomes the biggest drawbacks of traditional WAN. Students will be able to deploy a Cisco SD-WAN over any transport (MPLS, Broadband, LTE, VSAT etc.) and provide management, policy control and application visibility across the enterprise. This hands-on Course covers the Cisco SD-WAN product and contains extensive labs to reinforce the knowledge learned
