Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions (ENSDWI)

Details

Description

Duration: 5 days

The Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions (ENSDWI) course covers the design, deployment, configuration, and management of Cisco SD-WAN in large-scale networks, including migration from traditional WAN environments. Topics include routing protocol best practices for data centers and branch sites, along with advanced control, data, and application-aware policy implementation. The course also addresses controller placement, WAN Edge device deployment, multicast, QoS, Direct Internet Access (DIA) breakout configuration, and Multi-Region Cisco SD-WAN fabric deployment. Completing this course prepares students to take the 300-415 ENSDWI exam, which counts toward the CCNP Enterprise certification.

Target Audience
