This intermediate SD-WAN Architecture: How to Deploy Cisco SD-WAN Controllers training prepares wireless network admins to prepare their Cisco network for full SD-WAN functionality by configuring and deploying SD-WAN controllers.
Wide-area networks are challenging enough to configure and manage. But in this era of work-from-home and remote connections, someone has to go and realize that a software-defined wide-area network can be more versatile and reach even further than a conventional WAN.
This course explains how to deploy the tools that dictate how the network should behave, SD-WAN controllers. When they're properly deployed, SD-WAN controllers manage the rest of the devices on the network as they route traffic back and forth. This course shows you why they're crucial and how to deploy them properly.
After finishing this Cisco training, you'll know how to prepare your Cisco network for full SD-WAN functionality by configuring and deploying SD-WAN controllers.
For supervisors, this Cisco training can be used to onboard new wireless network admins, curated into individual or team training plans, or as a Cisco reference resource.

Who Should Take SD-WAN Architecture: How to Deploy Cisco SD-WAN Controllers Training?
This SD-WAN Architecture: How to Deploy Cisco SD-WAN Controllers training is considered associate-level Cisco training, which means it was designed for wireless network admins. This software-defined wireless networking skills course is designed for wireless network admins with three to five years of experience with Cisco networking.
New or aspiring wireless network admins. This course is a short and informational walkthrough of what a Cisco SD-WAN controller's intended function is, how to deploy them and ensure traffic gets to where it belongs. That's fairly specific and may not apply to all new network administrators. But if your new job calls for Cisco SD-WAN familiarity, you can quickly get your feet under you with this training.
Experienced wireless network admins. Even experienced network administrators can spend years on the job and never need to understand how Cisco SD-WAN controllers instruct an entire SD-WAN on how to route traffic. This course quickly familiarizes you with what the backbone of an SD-WAN network does and how to deploy a controller correctly the first time.
