- Well, that's it.
You've completed your journey
through Implementing Cisco Software-Defined WAN
for your Enterprise and Cloud video course.
By completing all 14 lessons,
you now have some great knowledge
so that you're better prepared
to deploy a Cisco SD-WAN solution.
So now you can use this information on the job,
or to help you with the implementing
Cisco SD-WAN Solutions 300-415 Cisco Certification exam.
In this course, you learn the benefits and common use cases
that organizations use Cisco SD-WAN for.
You should also have a solid understanding
of the terminology and technical components
and the SD-WAN solution.
You now know how to deploy on-premise controllers,
and how to configure and deploy edge devices, too.
You now have an understanding
on how SD-WAN is based upon routing concepts,
and how OMP uses TLOC routes
to calculate the best path for service-side routing.
You now know how to configure static routes,
OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, and Multicast Routing.
Now lesson seven was large,
and it was all about SD-WAN policies.
You learned the true power of SD-WAN in this lesson,
as you learn about local and centralized policies.
You learned how traffic flows can be manipulated,
services can be inserted,
and traffic flows can be optimized
with application-aware routing.
You learn how redundancy is achieved
with TLOC extensions and first-hop redundancy protocols,
such as VRRP and HSRP.
And then you also learned
how to manage your software versions
for the controllers and the edge devices.
You explored SD-WAN monitoring capabilities,
and the troubleshooting tools.
And in lesson 10, you learned that with data policies,
you provide access to all internet sites,
or selective sites, based upon application classification.
You also learned
how easy it's to provide direct connectivity
using Cloud onRamp with multi-cloud
to provide connectivity to AWS, GCP, and Azure.
You also gain insight in how Megaport and Equinix
can provide connectivity to the same main three providers
and many more,
as well as act as a middle mile provider.
You saw how to control access
to your vManage and edge instances.
And then how to deploy the on edge device security stack.
And how to connect with Umbrella for cloud security.
You now know how to configure QoS
and how to use other QoS functions like TCP optimizations,
data redundancy elimination,
packet duplication, and forwarding error correction.
You saw a couple migration techniques
for deploying SD-WAN in existing environments
and some of the ways to deploy your edge devices
in the data center.
In the final lesson, you learned how Cisco is making changes
to the user interface
to make configuration of edge devices even easier.
With all this knowledge, you are ready to take on the world
and manage your own Cisco SD-WAN environment.
Thank you for spending so much time with me.
