The Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions (ENSDWI) training trains you to design, deploy, configure, and manage your Cisco Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) solution in a large-scale live network, including how to migrate from legacy WAN to SD-WAN. You will learn best practices for configuring routing protocols in the data center and the branch, as well as how to implement advanced control, data, and application-aware policies. The training also covers SD-WAN deployment and migration options, placement of controllers, how to deploy WAN Edge devices, and how to configure Direct Internet Access (DIA) breakout. The training examines the different Cisco SD-WAN security options available, such as application-aware enterprise firewall, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), URL filtering, Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) proxy, and Cisco Umbrella Secure Internet Gateway (SIG).
The training lab environment is built using Cisco vEdge Cloud routers and Cisco SD-WAN 20.3 code
The SD-WAN v3.0 Cisco Training is a comprehensive program designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to deploy, configure, and manage Cisco’s Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solution. This advanced-level training covers the latest features and enhancements introduced in SD-WAN version 3.0, empowering learners to leverage the full potential of Cisco SD-WAN technology.
