This course relies upon the successful completion of the ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Installation and Configuration course and related labs. You will build on this SD-WAN configuration
to analyze the WAN application traffic flows and their distribution among major site types: Bridge mode, Router mode, Hybrid mode and Remote Visibility & Control (RVC). This lab intensive course will show you how best to visualize applications within and across the network and then classify and control their flows in a meaningful way. This will include defining new applications for the application dictionary and then implementing an SD-WAN policy using new and existing application groups (AGs) and QoS profiles. With a focus on supporting day-to-day operations, you’ll develop competencies in using the ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Orchestrator dashboards to recognize and control WAN application flows and generate reports to further visualize your findings.
This course is designed for network administrators and any individual responsible for the configuration and management of the ExtremeCloud SD-WAN solution.
The ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Installation and Configuration course is a mandatory prerequisite. You should have experience with ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Orchestrator and a solid grasp of the SD-WAN concepts prior to attending the Management class.
Upon completion of this course, students will have gained the working knowledge to:
• Manage the ExtremeCloudTM SD-WAN solution to gain application visibility and control.
• Implement the ExtremeCloudTM SD-WAN services: Application Visibility, Application Control, WAN Optimization and Dynamic WAN Selection (DWS).
• Configure and manage the application dictionary, application groups, and QoS profiles.
