The Cisco SD-WAN Deployment and Troubleshooting course (VIPTSEN) is an instructor-led, lab-based, hands-on VIPTSEN course offered by Learning@Cisco. Students who take this Cisco IT online training course will learn how to create, manage, and operate a Viptela® Secure Extensible Network (SEN). The Cisco SD-WAN course covers the scalable Viptela Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) configuration templates, network-wide policies (control, data, and application-aware), and network management. Students who wish to take this course should enroll with a technical understanding of routing protocols and routed networks. Students will work in a group to build a network before the instructor introduces a break into the system. Then, students who take this course must identify and fix the issue.
