Course content

1 section • 25 lectures • 3h 1m total length

Information about Lab topology5:11
Demonstrates how to verify iOS switch operations using practical commands like top cpu, show events -R, and show interface brief, plus using pipes to filter results.
First Login to Velocloud Orchestrator5:36
Master the first login to the VMware Broadcom Velocloud orchestrator, compare the old and new UI, and configure Google Maps API key and network portal websocket address for real-time monitoring.
Gateway and Gateway Pool5:04
Configure and provision a gateway pool, add a gateway to the pool, and activate the gateway via CLI using the activation key and orchestrator IP to reach in-service status.
New Customer Configuration5:12
Create a new customer in the Velocloud sd-wan lab, filling in company, login credentials, and service access details. Then assign a gateway pool and licenses, and monitor edges for activation.
Onboarding of Edge5:45
Onboard and provision a Velocloud edge by adding an edge in the orchestrator, selecting a virtual edge with a quick start profile, then activating via CLI with the activation key.
Edge profiles Configuration & Restriction8:12
Configure edge profiles in the new ui and apply profile restrictions to limit devices, creating separate data center and branch profiles for virtual edges only.
Assigning edge to the profile4:34
Assign an edge to a chosen profile to apply customized or existing configurations. Avoid unnecessary profile changes and monitor for minor disruption while verifying edge usage in the edges view.
SD-WAN Edge Interface Types and WAN Overlay21:47
Explore sd-wan edge interface types and wan overlay configurations, including l2 and l3 interfaces, auto detect versus user defined overlays, and multiple overlays per interface.
Configuring Private MPLS link & WAN Overlay Settings6:17
Configure a private MPLS link and a user-defined wan overlay on the G4 interface, enable wan overlay, and assign a static IPv4 address from the MPLS /24 subnet.
Configuring LAN side of the Activated Edge device6:20
Configure the land side of the activated edge, enable dhcp on the edge, and verify the l3 switch interface on vlan 1 receives a dhcp address for lan connectivity.
Change of Edge Device Location3:39
Change the edge device location in the orchestrator to connect to the nearest Broadcom VMware Cloud gateway, updating the location using set location and latitude and longitude.
How to check the status for path & links3:05
Check path and link status using GUI diagnostics or CLI commands, viewing gateway and wan IPs, uptime, and VPN status for troubleshooting.
Rollback feature: Last known Good Configuration8:30
Automates restoration of the last known good configuration on edge devices when misconfiguration or loss of connectivity to the orchestrator occurs.
Understand OFC and Cloud VPN4:59
This video covers the basics of cloud VPN and the UFC, an SD-WAN overlay flow control table that shows connected routes across Velocloud sites.
Configure Hub/Spoke Topology7:47
Configure hub and spoke topology in VMware Broadcom sd-wan cloud vpn, enable branch-to-hub, verify overlay tunnels, and test reachability from branch pcs to data center resources using cli and gui.
Configure Branch to Branch VPN using Gateway5:33
Configure branch to branch vpn using cloud gateways to connect two branches in a hub-and-spoke cloud vpn topology. Verify reachability and overlay latency with trace route and cloud vpn tests.
Configure Branch to Branch VPN using Hub5:30
Enable cloud vpn and configure branch to branch vpn using hub, selecting two hubs and verifying reachability and traceroute between branch one and branch two.
Configure Dynamic B2B VPN9:34
Configure dynamic branch-to-branch vpn between two Velocloud branches, enable it at profile level, and verify via trace route and tunnel status to reduce latency and improve performance.
Understanding Overlay Flow Control7:22
Explore overlay flow control to view summarized routes, edit subnets and priorities, set preferred VPN exits, and adjust global advertise flags for edges, hubs, and gateways from configure tab.
Static routes configuration7:07
Configure a static route to 192.168.3.0/24 with the switch as next hop, verify in the overlay flow control and routing table, and test reachability by toggling the advertised flag.
Configuring OSPF7:47
Configure ospf v2 in the data center profile, enable it on the g2 interface to redistribute overlay prefixes into ospf, and verify reachability from branch to data center.
Configure and Enable BGP using Profile and Edge level7:30
Configure and enable BGP on the sd-wan profile and edge, set local as 200, neighbor as 100, and advertise a default route from the VCE to the DC core.
Creation of Business Policy12:36
Configure a targeted business policy for web traffic to yahoo.com that forces use of the G4 Mpls link, then verify with data and active flows that traffic hits the policy.
Configuring Segmentation5:17
Configure segmentation by creating guest and other segments with dedicated business policies, firewall rules, and cloud VPN topology, then assign to VLANs and VCE subinterfaces.
Configuring Clustering11:03
Configure edge clustering in VMware SD-WAN to expand hub capacity, enable active-active high availability, and manage a cluster of physical or virtual edges with cloud VPN topologies and monitoring.

Requirements

There is no formal prerequisite, Students should have basic knowledge of Software defined networking along with understanding of TCP/IP

Description

Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) provides distributed enterprises that have important branch operations with a number of appealing advantages. These advantages include the benefits of business agility, increased application performance, and diminished bandwidth costs. In the course of this lab, we will make an effort to emphasize those benefits and the ways in which businesses might benefit from them.

SD-WAN is a technology that simplifies the distribution of wide area network (WAN) services to branch offices by utilizing software and cloud-based technologies. Through the use of software-based virtualization, network abstraction is made possible, which ultimately leads to the simplification of network operations. SD-WAN provides IT and business managers with the option to establish Internet-based connectivity, which offers numerous advantages such as ubiquity, high bandwidth, and cheap cost. This connectivity may be deployed with ease, speed, and quality, dependability, and security.

This course is designed for SDWAN Network support engineers who want to increase their knowledge, understanding on different Vmware By Broadcom SDWAN LAB Scenarios. These lectures contain Labs which includes configuration, troubleshooting and verification of different technologies used in Vmware By Broadcom SDWAN environment. These lectures are in very easy language and are very convinitent to understand for beginners who want to excel their career in Software Defined networking. This course talks a lot about doing confiuguration on Orchestrator and to make sure that we understand different options to configure a certain task.
