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.
