Advance your software-defined networking and enterprise WAN expertise with Cisco SD-WAN training. HRD Corp Claimable

Overview
The Implementing Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Solutions (ENSDWI) training helps you design, deploy, configure, and manage the Cisco software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) solution in a large-scale network, including how to migrate from legacy WAN to Cisco SD-WAN.
You will learn best practices for configuring routing protocols in the data center and the branch, and how to implement advanced control, data, and application-aware policies.
This training also covers placement of controllers, how to deploy WAN Edge devices, multicast and quality of service (QoS), how to configure direct internet access (DIA) breakout, and various Application Quality of Experience (AppQoE) traffic optimization capabilities.
This training prepares you for the 300-415 ENSDWI exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise SD-WAN Implementation certification and satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Enterprise certification.
Skills Covered
After taking this course, you should be able to:
- Describe the Cisco SD-WAN solution and how modes of operation differ in traditional WAN versus SD-WAN
- Describe options for Cisco SD-WAN cloud and on-premises deployment
- Explain how to deploy WAN Edge devices
- Review the Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) process and examine technical specifics for on-premises deployment
- Review the device configuration template and describe new features of device configuration templates
- Describe options for providing scalability, high availability, and redundancy
- Explain how dynamic routing protocols are deployed in an SD-WAN environment, on the service side and transport side
- Describe Cisco SD-WAN policy concepts, which includes how policies are defined, attached, distributed, and applied
- Define and implement advanced control policies, such as policies for custom topologies and service insertion
- Identify and implement advanced data policies, such as policies for traffic engineering and QoS
