What is SD-WAN? say GOODBYE to MPLS, DMVPN, iWAN... w/ SDN, Cisco and Viptela

Software-Defined WAN (Wide Area Network). What is it? How is it different from DMVPN and iWAN and are we still using MPLS? SD-WAN is changing the game and it took me a bit to WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IT because it is STRANGE!!

ccna routing and switching vcp cbt training

[mhwachter]

Is it even worth it to begin on CCNA now? I keep seeing this SDN non-CLI stuff and the networking tech seems like its moving forward fast... its got me thinking the traditional CCNA skills are going to get pushed away? Idk Im sure Im overthinking this but it is a worry I have. Like would it be better to focus on security or something else?

I just implemented a large Viptella solution across 80 sites, I can assure you... You will be in the cmd line 90% of the time!

[kamalh]

I passed my CCENT Today Big thanks to you Chuck for the motivation!

[lunhamegenogueira]

I've always tried to understand the SD-WAN viptela Cisco solution. This video was very enlightening and extremely easy to understand. Great work NC!

[NK-iwrq]

Chuck your videos have helped me so much man, I literally love you and your content.

[Paanch]

Man, we had velocloud come to our company for sdwan training and I can say I learned more from this video than the two days with velocloud. Great content.

[RemyVorender]

Sounds like after I implement this I can just go ahead and fire myself?

[sumithobby]

The best video on YouTube as of now to understand what exactly is SDWAN solution 👍

[Jimbo]

Love your conent, Chuck. We are still in an over 6-month roll-out of SD-WAN, I work for a large multinational company with 10's of thousands of devices, we are still using some MPLS, but the SD-WAN is some cool stuff, I can already see a big difference.

Another great video Chuck! I just love how you take a complex subject and make it interesting and easy to understand. Every time I watch one of your videos you always re-kindle my networking passion and push me to study harder!

So I work for a IT company, but not in the engineering dept, so though Ive heard a few familiar terms/phrases, that whole world is foreign to me. Im 2 min in to this vid, and Im mad impressed with how you explain things and no lies, I learned a lot from this vid. great job bro

First rule of SDWAN club, don't tell what SDWAN is! 20 minutes to tell about ipsec with centralised route management

[xianman]

I’m experienced with Cisco and security, but new to SDWAN. This was perfectly explained, engaging, and the examples were spot on. Thank you!

[Melodyktn]

I ended up here because the company I work for is migrating to this and I wanted to learn more. We have at least over 100 sites around the world and this is sounding really promising. Thanks!

[CyberEnigma]

This guy's voice is so soothing... Couple that with great content and you have a new sub!

[pppam]

Very nice presentation! You have the gift of presenting difficult technologies in a simple way. Well done.

[smurfshanker]

a part of me wanted you to start this video with : "HEY vSmart, Chuck here.. What is SD-WAN?"

[MrSeebsy]

Probably the best explanation of SDWAN I've seen Great Video

[timw]

Not the end of MPLS, SD-WAN will just add a management layer on top of it. As someone mentioned you can not rely on an internet based service if you need guarantees on availability, latency, jitter etc

Wow - I haven’t been so captivated by discussions about networking. Gained a subscriber!
