Implementing CISCO SD-WAN Solutions


Cisco Systems is an American company that mainly specializes in network equipment such as routers, switches, firewalls and servers. Cisco has built a strong reputation for network equipment and network solutions. Cisco also offers various certification processes so that IT professionals can specialize in different areas and thus prove that they have certain knowledge and skills.

Omschrijving

During the course Implementing CISCO SD-WAN Solutions you will learn how 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 course 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, and how to deploy a Multi-Region Cisco SD-WAN fabric. You will also learn about the various Application Quality of Experience (AppQoE) traffic optimization capabilities.

Finally, the training looks at the different Cisco SD-WAN security options available.  The course looks at 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) and Cisco TrustSec in Cisco SD-WAN.

After completing this course you should be able to:

  • describe the Cisco SD-WAN solution and how modes of operation differ in traditional WAN versus SD-WAN;
  • describe options for Cisco SD-WAN cloud and on-premises deployment;
  • explain how to deploy WAN Edge devices;
  • compare  the Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and traditional Plug-n-Play processes and examine technical specifics for on-premises deployment;
  • describe configuration groups and feature profiles for configuration management;
  • describe device and feature configuration templates;
  • describe options for providing scalability, high availability, and redundancy;
  • explain how dynamic routing protocols are deployed in an SD-WAN environment, on the service side and transport side;
  • describe Cisco SD-WAN policy concepts, which includes how policies are defined, attached, distributed, and applied;
  • define and implement advanced control policies, such as policies for custom topologies and service insertion.
  • describe the Multi-Region SD-WAN fabric feature;
  • define and implement advanced data policies, such as policies for traffic engineering and QoS;
  • describe the Application Quality of Experience (AppQoE) capabilities available in Cisco SD-WAN;
  • define and implement an Application-Aware Routing (AAR) policy;
  • implement Direct Internet Access (DIA) and Cisco SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp options;
  • describe Cisco SD-WAN security components and integration;
  • describe how to design pure and hybrid Cisco SD-WAN solutions, as well as how to perform a migration to Cisco SD-WAN;
  • describe the different tools and options available for managing a Cisco SD-WAN fabric;
  • describe the different tools and options available for monitoring the Cisco SD-WAN fabric;
  • describe Cisco SD-WAN support for multicast.

After the course you can participate in the exam 300-415 – ENSDWI – Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions. The exam fees are not included and amount € 360,00.

This course is worth 32 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.
