How do you replace expensive MPLS circuits and box-by-box CLI complexity with a unified, programmable Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN fabric? How do you deploy SD-WAN Manager (vManage), SD-WAN Controller (vSmart), and SD-WAN Validator (vBond) from scratch and onboard branch routers in minutes via Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)? How do OMP routing, TLOC colors, IKE-less IPsec data plane encryption, Application-Aware Routing (AAR) based on real-time BFD loss/latency/jitter, end-to-end QoS with FEC and Packet Duplication, ZBFW security, Cisco Umbrella SIG, and REST API automation work? Master Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN implementation and troubleshooting step by step.

Lessons are taught live in Azerbaijani and Russian.
The curriculum is structured with progressive disclosure: CCNA-level networking fundamentals (OSI/TCP-IP, IPv4/IPv6 subnetting, VLANs, basic OSPF/BGP routing, and general VPN concepts) are sufficient to begin. Every Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN mechanism—from the 4 planes and PKI certificates to OMP, vManage templates, and AAR/QoS policies—is explained from the ground up with real-world scenarios, Cisco IOS XE (Controller Mode) CLI outputs, and hands-on labs.

How you will learn
Every lesson begins with a practical operational challenge (onboarding a branch behind NAT, dual MPLS/Internet failover, protecting voice against brownouts, or steering Microsoft 365 traffic directly to the cloud) and walks you through configuring SD-WAN Manager GUI templates and verifying state via cEdge CLI (`show sdwan ...`). All mechanisms are illustrated with SVG diagrams, step-by-step packet animations (DTLS, ZTP, OMP, BFD, AAR, Cloud OnRamp), engineering calculations, and interactive trainers.
The golden rule (R1)
Every Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN concept—from control/data plane separation, TLOC colors, and IPsec key exchange to Centralized Control/Data/AAR policies, hierarchical QoS, and vManage REST API automation—is explained from scratch in clear, rigorous engineering language. Each of the 8 sections concludes with a comprehensive hands-on lab practicum.

01
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Architecture and Controllers
lessons 1–10
legacy WAN challenges (MPLS cost, DMVPN scaling complexity, cloud backhauling trombone effect) and SD-WAN benefits
Independently deploy, configure, and troubleshoot enterprise Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN fabrics of any scale: stand up vManage, vSmart, and vBond controllers, onboard Catalyst 8000 / ISR routers via ZTP/PnP, build Feature/Device Templates and Configuration Groups, engineer OMP overlay routing, TLOC colors, and TLOC Extension HA, integrate branch OSPF/BGP/EIGRP with loop prevention, construct Hub-and-Spoke, Regional Mesh, and Multi-Region Fabric topologies using Control Policies, implement Direct Internet Access (DIA), Application-Aware Routing (AAR) based on BFD SLAs, end-to-end QoS with FEC and Packet Duplication, embedded ZBFW/IPS/Umbrella SIG security, Cloud OnRamp for SaaS/Multicloud, and Python / REST API automation.
Alignment with Cisco CCNP Enterprise (300-415 ENSDWI) Certification
This course covers 100% of the official blueprint objectives for the 300-415 ENSDWI (Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions v1.1 / v1.2) concentration exam. Passing 300-415 ENSDWI earns the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise SD-WAN Implementation certification and, combined with the 350-401 ENCOR core exam, fulfills all requirements for the full CCNP Enterprise certification.
Students join the lesson live. At the end of each lesson, students are sent a video recording of the class.
02
Homework
Every assignment is based on the topic covered in the webinar. Homework helps you reinforce the material and understand it better.
03
Working with a mentor
The teacher stays in touch with the group both during the course and outside class. Any questions get answered right away.
04
Portfolio
During the course you'll complete several projects on different topics — they'll show employers what you can do.
