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!!

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?

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

I work at a satellite branch for a Creative Arts college in Atlanta, Georgia that has 4 other satellite branch locations around the world. My Branch lost its Network Admin engineer last year around this time. My official title is Technology Specialist, I do some of everything at the college branch that work at. It's a little bit of Helpdesk, a little bit of Break / Fix, a little bit of remote tech, MDM solutions really everything under the sun. We just make sure that all the tech for the college works for the students and for our VP's. As I said before, we lost our Network Admin engineer last year around this time. At the time we thought that the college would find a replacement, but after a year of searching this Network Admin engineer position has gone unfilled. Most of the Network Admin engineer duties have been pushed onto me and the other Technology Specialist. Between the both of us we have been trying to keep our branch network up and running but over the course of the year our network has gone down 3 times. Each time the network has gone down, we have been lucky enough to get it back up and running. I've been watching your youtube channel for the past year to maybe glean some insight into the dark art of networking. I've been thinking about getting some sort of networking cert under my belt. What would you suggest I get, CompTIA Network +, CCNA, or CCNP?

So now Network Engineers jobs are in danger

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

In 2022, I still prefer the CLI for Cisco products. I was setting up a FirePower1120 series and VPN wouldn’t work until I went to CLI to run certain commands. Meraki works well as a GUI, but Cisco needs to step it up on GUI even if I personally prefer CLI. For Catalyst switches, I stay away from GUI. Hopefully they got it right on the SDWAN side, but reading the comment above seems like they have more work to do. Dell and Netgear M4300 have better GUI where you really don’t need to mess with the CLI.

I’m working at GE, and I was able to save +80% costs from MPLS after the migration for an entire region. (No more MPLS now!)

[@b0neme]

So, Cisco's doing another proprietary protocol...I see. Glad I'm a Juniper expert! Standards rule!

[@freekycool]

we have deployed ARUBA SD-WAN solution in our environment, which is replacing a decade old technology. we have successfully deployed this solution on 11000 sites, 3500 more to go. yes I said 14500+ sites.

[@smurfshanker058]

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

[@donprince865]

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!

[@Jay-hr9ci]

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!

[@stateofmindfitness_ca]

I'm studying for my CCENT currently and really enjoyed this video, love how you break it down and the passion in your voice about this new technology. Some people will be boring in describing it then I lose interest. You channel is awesome bro, keep making great vids like this. I hope to be on your level soon starting with this damn CCENT. God Bless!

[@lunhamegenogueira1969]

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!

[@Bamshi101]

Amazing watching this in December with no experience, the night before going for my interview at an ISP, then watching it again 7 months later as a Network Support Engineer. Thank you for sharing dude :)

[@sumithobby]

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

[@pppam]

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

[@10Paanch]

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.

[@kamalh3273]

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

[@jstyleent]

My company is deploying a lot of Veloclouds for our customers. I’m very interested in learning Cisco’s SD-WAN. Thanks for the video.
