π Course Title: Cisco SD-WAN Lab Setup in EVE-NG by Arash Deljoosh
π Course Description:
Are you ready to dive into the world of Software Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN) with Cisco's cutting-edge technology? As network engineering continues to evolve, having hands-on experience with the latest solutions is crucial for anyone looking to pass the lab exams and stay ahead in the field. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to a fully functional SD-WAN setup at their workplace. But fear not! In this comprehensive course led by industry expert Arash Deljoosh, you'll learn how to create your own Cisco SD-WAN home lab using EVE-NG β a powerful network simulator.
Why This Course?
Cisco SD-WAN is a key component of the CCE Enterprise blueprint, and it's essential for network professionals to understand and master its concepts and applications. This course addresses the challenge of gaining practical experience by providing you with a step-by-step guide to setting up your own lab environment at home or in an academic setting.
Essential Lab Setup on EVE-NG:
π οΈ Setup EVE-NG: To kick things off, let's talk hardware requirements. Running Cisco SD-WAN within EVE-NG requires significant computational resources β at a minimum, you'll need to allocate 8 vCPUs and 16GB of RAM for smaller topologies. For larger, more complex setups with redundant controllers and numerous vEdge devices, the resource demands are even higher.
Certificates: A critical aspect of Cisco SD-WAN is the certificate authority (CA) that secures your controllers. This ensures that only trusted devices can join the network, maintaining security while providing flexibility. We'll cover how to set up these certificates to keep your lab secure.
Your Best Option for a Lab Environment:
π Build Your Own Cisco SD-WAN Lab with EVE-NG: EVE-NG stands out as the most effective platform for building a Cisco SD-WAN lab. In this course, Arash Deljoosh will guide you through every step to get started:
- Downloading Required Images: We'll begin by acquiring the necessary Cisco and EVE-NG images for your lab setup.
- Installing EVE-NG: Follow the straightforward process to install EVE-NG on your system, preparing the foundation for your SD-WAN lab.
- Installing Images on EVE-NG: Learn how to properly import and configure the images you've downloaded within EVE-NG.
- Testing Your Setup: Finally, we'll verify that your setup is functioning correctly and ready for you to begin your experiments and studies with Cisco SD-WAN.
By the end of this course, you'll have a fully operational Cisco SD-WAN lab at your fingertips, ready for you to explore every topic covered in the CCE Enterprise blueprint β all without the need for costly physical equipment or limited access. π₯οΈπ‘
