Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment (ENSDW)-LAB

Explore the vManage main dashboard to monitor vSmart controllers, vBond servers, and devices with real-time information and health status. Track transport health and top applications.

Learn to use vManage monitoring to view device geography, network status, alarms, and logs; inspect per-device health, control and data plane connections, and application performance with real-time charts and filters.

Explore how vManage monitors network health by viewing alarms, events, and logs. Learn to audit configuration changes, device details, and task history.

Explore the vManage tools to access assets, run operational commands, rediscover devices, and generate logs for troubleshooting in a single pane.

Configure mp on edge devices using vManage feature templates; select device model (CSR 1000V), set parameters like graceful restart, hold timer, and prefix advertisement, then save and attach templates.

Learn to configure OMP on vSmart controllers through vManage using a Wimpy feature template, and understand how vSmart manages the control plane data while pushing config via device templates.

Verify wimpy configurations on smart controllers and edge devices using CLI commands, inspect peers, routes, and IPsec attributes to confirm ISIS adjacency and VPN context.

Verify OMP peers on a vManage network by opening a smart controller's real-time CLI to inspect MP peers, their site IDs, uptime, prefixes, and IPsec tunnel details.

Learn to configure a VPN using a feature template in the Cisco SD-WAN fabric via vManage, covering template creation, device model selection, DNS, host mapping, and service road.

Configure a vpn interface via a feature template in vmanage, detailing ethernet lan-side interface setup, ip address options, nat pool, acl, and high-availability with a master/backup election.

Configure VRRP on two SD-WAN devices using the interface feature template, set the VRRP group ID and virtual IP, push the configuration, and verify master and backup roles.

Configure BGP in sd-wan with vmanage templates, attaching a BGP feature template to a device template, and manage neighbors, redistribution, and network advertisements.

Learn to configure ospf in Cisco SD-WAN using a feature template in vManage, including area setup, interface assignments, redistribution, and attaching templates to devices.

Configure a device template in vManage by selecting the device model and attaching feature templates, then push the combined configuration to devices.

Onboard a vEdge router to a Cisco SD-WAN fabric using GDP and zero-touch provisioning, via vManage templates, CSP files, and certificate-based authentication to establish control and data planes.

Onboard vEdge devices via manual configuration by setting system IP, site ID, organization name, and management VPN, then activate with the provided ID and token to join the fabric.

Attach a device to a device template in Vmanage to provision configurations with feature templates and a CSP file, then push and verify VPN and interface settings.

Learn to add and remove configurations on Cisco SD-WAN devices using device templates and feature templates, push SPF-based routing to VPN and land-side interfaces, and verify via VManage.

Verify OSPF from the CLI and vManage by inspecting neighbors, interfaces, and timers, then review the OSPF database to confirm adjacency, router IDs, and designated router roles.

Learn to remove a specific configuration from a device using a device template in a Cisco SD-WAN lab, including editing the template, applying the removal, and verifying the change.

Configure a multi-topology control policy to route vpn 10 traffic via the data center, while vpn 20 traffic remains direct through the mesh.

Learn to configure a multi-topology control policy in Cisco SD-WAN to steer VPN traffic through data center or spokes by changing TLOCs in a lab.

Configure a hub-and-spoke sd-wan with a centralized control policy to force traffic from branches through the data center, and validate the setup with monitoring and troubleshooting in the lab.
