Course Description
Course Overview
The Advanced Cisco SD-WAN Routing, Templates, Policy Configure, and Tshoot (ADVANCED SDWAN) course focuses on providing in-depth knowledge and skills for implementing, configuring, and troubleshooting advanced features of Cisco Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions. This course is designed for network professionals who are responsible for deploying and managing SD-WAN infrastructures. The course covers advanced routing, template configuration, policy configuration, and troubleshooting techniques specific to Cisco SD-WAN deployments.
Prerequisites
To enroll in the ADVANCED SDWAN course, participants should have a solid understanding of networking concepts and experience with Cisco networking technologies. It is recommended to have completed the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification or possess equivalent knowledge. Familiarity with SD-WAN fundamentals and basic knowledge of routing protocols (such as OSPF and BGP) is highly beneficial.
Methodology
The ADVANCED SDWAN course utilizes a combination of theoretical lessons, instructor-led demonstrations, and hands-on lab exercises to ensure a comprehensive understanding of advanced SD-WAN concepts and configurations. Participants will engage in interactive discussions, real-world scenarios, and practical exercises to reinforce their skills. Lab exercises and simulations will be provided to allow participants to apply their knowledge in a controlled environment.
