SDWADV is a 4-day Cisco SD-WAN training targeted to engineers and technical personnel involved in deploying, implementing, operating and optimizing Cisco SD-WAN solution, both in enterprise and Service Provider environments, including advanced features for centralized AAR/Data policies, QoS, application performance routing, configuration templates, control policies and troubleshooting common and advanced operating issues. The Cisco SD-WAN course is lab-intensive, and objectives are accomplished mainly through hands on learning and scripting.
Students taking this Cisco SD-WAN training course should be familiar with Wide Area Networks (WANs) in a variety of ways. Ideal candidates for this course include engineering and planning teams who evaluate WAN evolution and personnel involved in SD-WAN Design, Implementation and Operation.Virtual Learning
This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.
