ENSDW – Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment v1.0

Short Course Description

2 Day

Course Overview

The Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment (ENSDW) v1.0 course provides 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. Students will also learn about policies and quality of service (QoS) in the SD-WAN overlay network.
This is a 2-day course, if you are interested in learning more about our 3-day course, please follow the link to Viptela Training – Cisco SD-WAN.

Prerequisites

It is recommended, but not required, to have the following knowledge and skills before attending this course:
