Specialization - 5 course series

Implementing Cisco Software-Defined Wan (SD-WAN) for your Enterprise and Cloud sepcialization explains and demonstrates how to deploy the management cloud (vManage, vBond, and vSmarts) for on-premise deployments and device configuration for a simple router deployment. Then, viewers expand their knowledge by learning how to configure routing protocols between WAN edge and LAN devices. The course then moves on to more advance topics such as Application Aware Routing, which ensures that the path for packets meets the applications requirements for packet loss, latency, and jitter.

Applied Learning Project

At the end of the specialization, youwill have the knowledge to pass the Cisco SD-WAN Solutions (300-415) ENSDWI exam that is part of the CCNP Enterprise certification track. More importantly you will have gained the knowledge to deploy and operate Ciscos SD-WAN solution in their own network or within a Cloud providers environment.
