Overview/Description

There are so many options when it comes to delivering user and management traffic over the WAN. In this course, you'll explore WAN design options and the key design decisions you must make. The overwhelming need for and popularity of the VPN in today's enterprises is marked by the fact that there is so many variations. You'll next examine the designs and motivations for many different VPN types. WANs typically are mission critical, so you'll also learn about designing high availability options. The SD-WAN is becoming increasing popularity, so you'll look at the traditional WAN challenges it can solve. Finally, you'll explore why SD-WAN is so important, architecture design elements, and design best practices. This course can be used in preparation for the 300-420: Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) certification exam.
