Cisco: SDN

The Cisco NSO 4.2 New Features Including Python APIs1 (NSO301) course is a virtual instructor-led, lab-based, hands-on course offered by Cisco® Learning Services. The course updates learners on the new Python API features available in Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) 4.2. Also covered are other new features and changes in NSO 4.2. After the training, learners can use the self-paced lab guide and practice using the new APIs.

The Cisco SD-WAN Operation and Deployment (SDWFND) v1.0 course provides an overview of the Cisco® Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) solution and SD-WAN components. You will learn how to create, manage, and operate a secure extensible network using Cisco SD-WAN products. The course covers how to configure, operate, and monitor overlay routing in a secure extensible network. In addition, you will learn about policies and Quality of Service (QoS) in the SD-WAN overlay network. The Cisco SD-WAN solution is a cloud-delivered overlay WAN architecture that facilitates digital and cloud transformation for enterprises. Cisco SD-WAN significantly reduces WAN costs and time to deploy new services. With Cisco SD-WAN, you can build a robust security architecture that’s crucial for hybrid networks and provides a strong policy framework.

DNA Center and SD-Access offer Cisco’s next-generation programmable digital network to help automate common network access security features and streamline the redundant, complex configuration required to allow different groups of users access to the network infrastructure. This network security training course allows network administrators to quickly allow differentiated access for end users on the network while allowing the network to react automatically to day zero and other types of attacks. Students who enroll in this course should have a basic understanding of Cisco CCNA Routing & Switching, of Software Defined Networks, and have experience with Cisco IOS, IOS XE, and CLI. Find additional course information below.

The Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions (ENSDWI) v2.0 course gives you training about how to design, deploy, configure, and manage your Cisco® Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) solution in a large-scale live network, including how to migrate from legacy WAN to SD-WAN. You will learn best practices for configuring routing protocols in the data center and the branch, as well as how to implement advanced control, data, and application-aware policies. The course also covers SD-WAN deployment and migration options, placement of controllers, how to deploy WAN Edge devices, and how to configure Direct Internet Access (DIA) breakout. The course looks at the different Cisco SD-WAN security options available, such as application-aware enterprise firewall, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), URL filtering, Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) proxy, and Cisco Umbrella® Secure Internet Gateway (SIG). This course helps you prepare to take the Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions (300-415 ENSDWI) exam which is part of the CCNP® Enterprise certification. You will also earn 32 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.

In this Installing, Configuring, Monitoring and Troubleshooting Cisco (Viptela) SDWAN Course, students will deploy and configure SD-WAN Controllers, vEdge Devices, and Cisco IOS-XE Devices. Students will create Multiple Device and CLI Templates that will allow Hundreds of devices to be deployed using only a few Centralized Templates. Students will create Security Policies to enable the Enterprise Firewall, IDS/IPS, URL Filtering, and Web Layer Security to protect and allow Enterprises to deploy Cloud applications as well as Direct Internet Access (DIA).  Students will also create Local and Central Policies that enable a Centralized Policy control of WAN Routing and device QOS configuration and enforcement. Students will also learn how Cisco SD-WAN allows Enterprises to deploy an effective Cloud Solutions such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Students will also learn how to Monitor and Troubleshoot the SD-WAN Solution.

The NSO Advanced for Python Programmers1 (NSO300) course is an instructor led, lab-based, hands-on course offered by Learning@Cisco. It introduces learners to developing advanced services using Cisco® Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) programmability with Python scripting.

The Cisco NSO Essentials for Programmers and Network Architects1 (NSO201) course is an instructor-led, lab-based, hands-on course offered by Learning@Cisco. The overall goal of the course is for you to be able to install Cisco® Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) and use it to manage devices and create services based on YANG templates with XPath.

SD-Access is Cisco’s Next Generation campus networking solution that simplifies management, automation, and improves security implications. Who (People), what (Devices), when (Time) and where (Location) are questions we would like answered when working with users and devices! These questions are answered within a single pane of glass known as the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). Once users and devices are identified we often segment these groups for management purposes. Cisco's Digital Networks Architecture Center (DNAC) is a means of configuring and maintaining that segmentation using software defined access. DNA Center is not limited to configuration changes. DNA Center also provides a policy-based approach to services that support the network such as NTP, DNS, DHCP. In this course, you integrate ISE and DNAC which gives you the ability to manage physical devices, logical segmentation, IP, transport rules as well as Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) of users and devices along with an overview and introduction to SD-Access and DNA Center.
