Learn the various SD-WAN implementations and deployment modes available, and how to choose the one that is right for your organization. Take a tour of the underlying architecture of SD- WAN and learn how to differentiate between the various components. Understand how the different elements of SD-WAN come together to provide a better network experience. Topics include: Quality of Service, Classes of Service, Rules, Dynamic Routing, DHCP Services, Zero Touch Deployment and the SD-WAN management tools available. Hands-on labs to be provided.

Upon successful completion of this course, learners are able to:

    Deployment options available
    Initial configuration and management of Citrix SD-WAN
    Provisioning and management considerations
    SD-WAN security considerations
    SD-WAN optimizations available
