Course Overview

Top

This 3-day 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 describe Cisco SD-WAN options over any transport (MPLS, Broadband, LTE, VSAT, etc.), describe and discuss different designs along with deployment scenarios and decide what troubleshooting, management, policy control and application visibility elements to apply across the enterprise. This hands-on course covers the Cisco SD-WAN solution and contains extensive practices and design workshop to reinforce the knowledge learned.

Virtual Learning

This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.
