Identify the key wan challenges in sd-wan, including security requirements for web applications and fragmented security, and review how major market players influence cloud, on-prem integration, cost, and scalability.
Explore how software defined networking decouples the control plane from the data plane in sd-wan, enabling centralized orchestration, policy-driven automation, and Cisco fabric architecture for branch to cloud delivery.
Define the minimum system wide configuration with unique system IPs and site identifiers, then enable vpn zero configuration, interface, management, static routes, and service vpn settings for controllers.
Join bring-up labs to configure vpn zero-configuration, install and register controllers in the dashboard, authenticate edge routers, and verify the sd-wan topology so all controllers and edges come up.
Configure system-wide settings on the controller, including host name, system IP, and management IP, then define VPN interfaces and API names and verify connectivity.
Configure vManage vpn zero config and static routes, attach interfaces to vpn zero, and assign ip addresses. Verify baseline configuration by pinging the gateway and isp.
Log into the vManage dashboard, go to configuration and devices, and add controllers by entering their IP address, username, and password, then configure protocol and certificate options.
Learn to install public certificates on all SD-WAN controllers and via mobile, including uploading certificates through the dashboard and validating successful installations.
Learn how to deploy and manage sd-wan data plane and control plane components, including centralized policy, security, monitoring, and cloud integrations.
Navigate the sd-wan vmanage dashboard to explore the five configuration blocks and templates, then create and apply vpn zero and cvp configurations across sites.
Explore how the overlay management protocol coordinates data and control planes in the Esteban fabric, using tloc basics, readouts, and dialogue attributes to implement centralized and localized policies.
Explore sd-wan policy fundamentals, including centralized, local, control and data policies, building blocks, hub-and-spoke configurations, and vpn membership.
Explore traffic engineering and route leak in a tightly controlled SD-WAN policy, applying central routing policies, prefix lists, and route policies to export VPNs 10 and 20 across branches.
Delve into sd-wan high availability and redundancy, focusing on clustering of management planes, redundant Reichsmark, and synchronized configuration across devices; explore extension options, BRP, VCP, and back-to-back connectivity.
Explore how sd-wan uses tloc extension and killock extension to extend control planes across internet service providers, with vrp-like brp failover and api-driven configuration.
Master the ZTP and multitenancy concepts in SD-WAN by understanding logical tenant isolation, parent and child dashboards, and the conversion process from single to multitenant deployments.
Explore day 12 of the art of sd-wan, focusing on ospf configuration, route redistribution and advertising, and cloud express optimization to improve application performance across branches and data centers.
Troubleshoot day 13 and day 14 in detail by performing baseline configuration, control plane bring-up, and zero-touch provisioning, while analyzing BGP, OMB, certificates, and transport via we manage.
What is SD-WAN ?
Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) is an overlay architecture that overcomes the biggest drawbacks of traditional
WAN. SD-WAN builds a secure, unified connectivity over any transport (MPLS, Broadband, LTE, VSAT etc.)
and provides simplified operations with centralized management, policy control and application visibility
across the enterprise.
Significance of Viptela
The Most Deployed SD-WAN in Global 1000 Companies .
With SD-WAN built on the Viptela Fabric, enterprises can provide secure connectivity everywhere, deploy
new services and applications faster, and drastically simplify operational complexity in the WAN.
In this course you will find explanation of Viptela Fabric & how to deploy control plan with lab & Data plan (Theory ) .

The Cisco® SD-WAN solution offers a complete SD-WAN fabric with centralized management and security built in, creating a secure overlay WAN architecture across campus, branch, and data center and multicloud applications. The software solution runs on a range of SD-WAN routers across hardware, virtual, and cloud form factors.
Cisco SD-WAN builds on the architecture called Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). WAN security and features today must be distributed, cloud-based, flexible, and agile. Cisco SD-WAN is the industry’s first fully integrated SASE offering that combines best-of-breed SD-WAN with the cutting-edge Cisco Umbrella Cloud Security portfolio.

After connecting to Cisco SD-WAN, each network device can find the best path to the applications that reside in the data center or multicloud. Cisco SD-WAN can use any transport method (satellite, broadband, MPLS, 5G/LTE) from any location (core, edge, cloud) for any network service (security, application Quality of Experience [QoE], voice). Through OMP, Cisco SD-WAN supports both common and advanced routing protocols that are necessary for managing networks across the WAN and cloud, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Equal-Cost-Multi-Path (ECMP) routing, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), and IPv6. Cisco SD-WAN provides this flexibility in both full and partial mesh encrypted deliveries, allowing maximum customization based on business needs.
