Description

Embark on an immersive journey into the world of SD-WAN with this detailed course, tailored to impart a profound understanding of Meraki's secure SD-WAN (MX) devices. We meticulously dissect the operational modes of these devices, elucidating scenarios where choosing NAT mode is more beneficial than passthrough mode, and conversely, situations where passthrough mode prevails.The course delves beyond basic concepts to offer a rich analysis of various SD-WAN architectures. You will learn about the unique strengths and limitations of each, with a particular focus on the nuances of full mesh and hub-and-spoke architectures, including guidance on their optimal application and potential pitfalls.As you progress, the course unravels the complexities of routing strategies crucial for integrating third-party networks. You'll delve deep into the workings of static routing, OSPF, and BGP, gaining insights into their intricate interactions within the Meraki SD-WAN ecosystem. Moreover, we explore tunnel routing in depth, equipping you with the know-how to optimize network redundancy.Designed for both novices and seasoned professionals, this course ensures a comprehensive grasp of these topics. Interactive quizzes are interspersed to reinforce key concepts and enhance your learning experience. By the conclusion of this course, you'll possess the expertise to adeptly implement and manage Meraki SD-WAN solutions across varied networking landscapes, ensuring you’re well-prepared for real-world challenges.
