Cisco Software-Defined Wan for Enterprise & Cloud: Unit 3

Overview

This course covers advanced routing techniques, high availability strategies, and policy configurations in SD-WAN. You'll learn the Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) to manage routes like static, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, with practical examples. You'll study high availability with TLOC extensions and redundancy protocols like VRRP and HSRP for strong network performance. You'll also cover SD-WAN policies, including access control lists and multi-regional topologies, and implementing application-aware routing for effective traffic management. By the end, you'll be able to design, deploy, and manage complex SD-WAN environments.

Cisco SD-WAN Routing, Policy, and High Availability

This module offers an in-depth exploration of advanced routing techniques, high availability strategies, and powerful policy configurations within the SD-WAN fabric. You will begin by learning about the Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) to efficiently distribute routes, including static routes, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, supported by practical, live examples. The module also covers high availability at the edge, utilizing TLOC extensions and redundancy protocols like VRRP and HSRP to ensure robust network performance. You will delve into SD-WAN policies, ranging from access control lists to complex multi-regional topologies, and learn to implement application-aware routing for optimal traffic management. By the end of this module, you will have acquired the skills to design, deploy, and manage sophisticated SD-WAN environments.
