This intermediate How to Configure Cisco SD-WAN Routing with OSPF and BGP training prepares wireless network admins to incorporate BGP and OSPF into an SD-WAN's routing policies so that traffic gets to where it belongs, inside and outside the network.
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) are two of the more complicated protocols that network professionals have to tackle. One of the huge upsides to mastering them is that they make configuring SD-WANs possible. Keeping the control plane of your SD-WAN configured so that traffic can be properly identified and transported to the outside world doesn't just make you content that your network is secure, but it keeps your users happy with the speed of their connections.
Once you're done with this Cisco training, you'll know how to incorporate BGP and OSPF into an SD-WAN's routing policies so that traffic gets to where it belongs, inside and outside the network.
For anyone who manages their software-defined wireless networking training, 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.
