Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment [SDWFND]

OVERVIEW

The Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment(SDWFND) course provides a comprehensive overview of the Cisco® Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) solution and Cisco SD-WAN components such as vManage, vSmart and vBond.

You will learn how to deploy, manage, and operate a secure, programmable, and scalable SD-WAN fabric using IOS XE Cisco SD-WAN products. The course also covers how to configure, operate, and monitor overlay routing across the Cisco SD-WAN network using the Cisco vManage management console. In addition, you will learn about deploying data and control policies as well as Quality of Service (QoS) and Direct Internet Access (DIA) in the SD-WAN overlay network.

This course is worth 16 Continuing Education (CE) credits.

OBJECTIVES
