ENSDW: Cisco SD WAN Operation and Deployment

The Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment course is designed to provide an overview of the Cisco SD-WAN solution and SD-WAN components. Students will learn how to create, manage and operate a secure extensible network using Cisco SD-WAN products. The course covers how to configure, operate and monitor overlay routing in a secure extensible network. Policies and quality of service (QoS) in the SD-WAN overlay network are also included.

The Cisco SD-WAN solution is a cloud-delivered overlay WAN architecture that facilitates digital and cloud transformation for enterprises. Cisco SD-WAN significantly reduces WAN costs and time to deploy new services. With Cisco SD-WAN, you can build a robust security architecture that’s crucial for hybrid networks and provides a strong policy framework.
