KB SD-WAN

LIVE

The course encompasses the implementation of SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) version 20.9.4.

Khawar Butt offers detailed coverage of Cisco's SD-WAN, its components and implementations. You will be able to bring up the controllers from scratch, onboard WAN Edge (Cisco Catalyst 8000v devices), configure them using templates & deploy technologies like AAR, DIA. Multi-Service VPNs & TLOC Extension.
