SDWFND | Cisco SDWAN Fundamentals
 
The Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Operation and Deployment (SDWFND) training provides foundational concepts, business drivers, and an architectural vision of Cisco Catalyst software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), demonstrating how its core principles enable agile, secure, and cloud-ready WAN solutions to meet modern business demands.
 
Objectives
Discuss why traditional WANs struggle with modern demands and explain how Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN's architecture and core principles address those challenges.
Identify the main Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN components and explain how their roles and interactions support the overall solution.
Explain and perform secure controller and WAN Edge onboarding using zero-trust principles (ZTP) and secure control channels.
Implement and verify secure data plan operations using IPsec, segmentation, bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD)-based path monitoring, app visibility, and site redundancy.
Configure and verify Overlay Management Protocol (OMP)-based overlay routing, including route advertisement, redistribution, and network segmentation.
Manage Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN device configurations using Configuration Groups, Feature Profiles, Device Templates, and automation workflows for scalable, consistent deployment.
Navigate SD-WAN Manager monitoring dashboards and interpret key metrics and alarms for troubleshooting and operational visibility.
Design and apply centralized and localized policies, including Quality of Service (QoS) and Application Quality of Experience (AppQoE), to control and prioritize traffic across the SD-WAN fabric.
Implement Direct Internet Access (DIA) and cloud optimization features to enhance application experience, traffic flow, and branch security in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN.
