Cisco® SD-WAN - Advanced Operations & Troubleshooting Bootcamp v1.0 (SDWOTS)

Instructor-Led 18 Agenda

Description

This course covers Cisco Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN), which is an overlay architecture that overcomes the biggest drawbacks of traditional WAN. You will be able to operate a Cisco SD-WAN over any transport (MPLS, Broadband, LTE, VSAT etc.) and provide troubleshooting, management, policy control and application visibility across the enterprise. This hands-on Course covers the Cisco SD-WAN product and contains extensive labs to reinforce the knowledge learned.

Course Overview
