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?

You will still need to know how switching and routing works, which the CCNA covers. SDN isnt mainstream yet and knowing it now is still considered a bonus and not a necessity. But if want to be ahead of the rest, you can get into SDN.

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!

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!

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!

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

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 :)

Chuck..I must say you are amazing at explaining things. Thanks for your giving back to the community

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

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

Great videos Chuck ! you're making the networking fun and motivating us to learn new technologies, keep it up !!

I love your videos and knowledge sharing to the community. Chuck, you're an awesome dude 🤘🏼

Velocloud is phenomenal. Viptella not so much. When Cisco bought Meraki they were doing so bec it was IT made simple. With Viptella its the opposite. Ask anyone whos actually tried implementing it how easy it is to stand up and if it truly has all the spog features that are touted.

Just got my CCNA, lovin it, so cool, Cisco all the way, been watching your vids, thanks for your help and support, need more coffee

Wow, omg thats amazingly amazing!!!!!! Loved your videos man, fan of your work.

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

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.

thanks fo share Chuck, I took this video as my introduction to SD WAN, now I am very interesting so I will research myself how this technology works.

It was kinda hard for me at first to grasp the concept of SDWAN....but thanks to Cisco for providing a way to lab this thing....I now have SDWAN configured in my VMware environment and I can't get enough of SDWAN..🙂

Great info. We are preparing to deploy viptela's sd-wan solutions so I'm just getting familiar with it.

Thanks for this great video! I oversee a 5000+ site MPLS network for a ISP/MSP. We started rolling out SD-WAN with Velocloud recently and my client is turning up four test locations soon. I've wanted to get my hands dirty with SD-WAN for a while so it's pretty exciting! We've been moving a lot of sites to IPsec recently and some of the routing tables have become enormous. I can see how completely removing the control plane from the router will be an advantage here. Just bridging my modem at home and moving the routing duties alone to a separate router increases performance dramatically, so it makes even more sense in the Enterprise network. I've heard of SD-WAN having issues contending with circuits taking packet loss. I wonder how the Cisco implemention handles this, especially when there is no latency. I love the idea of load balancing at the application layer. LTE wreaks havoc on VoIP at random with jitter, latency, and dropped SIP MGMT frames, however it can have very good throughput. Another problem is many remote sites have a low bandwidth circuit that bottlenecks their other applications. Having the ability to assign applications to the connection that suits them would solve both of these problems. We would no longer have to constantly explain that we can't control the cell reception in the building, or the congestion of the tower, or the inherent lower bandwidth of their other circuit. It would all just work, theoretically. The Cisco implementation, as usual, seems quite advanced. I am curious to see how similar our implentation is. I can't believe I heard someone from Cisco recommend against the CLI! 😱 Blasphemy! Very interesting time for network technologies!

Network Chuck You da man!! Question for you. Is there a video series on cbt nuggets about SD-WAN ? Thank you so much love your videos

Great video man! Keep it up!

SD-WAN and Viptela/Cisco really helped scale private cloud deployment. As the network evolves from connectivity to services to "federations" of ad hoc connections to share proprietary data between businesses this super, scalable, control plane capability becomes the key and "trust", authentication and peer to peer encryption (based on whatever criteria) becomes essential. Very nicely done.

This cracks me up. SD-WAN! SD-WAN! We had almost all of this 15 years ago with Juniper NSM. We shipped the Juniper FW to the new remote store, plugged in the cable modem to the router, in thirty minutes, they could reach anything anywhere. Full mesh VPN with QOS and other goodies. SD-WAN simply equals an orchestration and management platform for all of your edge devices. If Cisco really wants to impress, I want to see a platform that auto-discovers assets, lets me draw lines between endpoints, add a few specifics, and then enables the comms I just drew. We should be long past the days of touching a switch/router unless it's broken.

Any half way decently trained tech should be able to fault find a network fault without going near a switch or router.

Execelent explanation! loved it!

This is a great video! One of the only things that I found that actually gives a Sufficient explanation of what SD-WAN is without getting too dry with all the bolts underneath. I have not used Cisco’s Viptela solution, however, I have a 40+ site deployment of SD-WAN using Talari Networks, and did PoC with SilverPeak & Meraki as well. It’s unreal how much better SD-WAN is than traditional WAN connectivity! So much better that it Actually makes it difficult to sell engineers on it sometimes because it sounds too good to be true. You do still face performance challenge is over the WAN with these types of solutions, but the approach to solving them is much simpler I definitely encourage everyone to look at SD-WAN Solutions or any networked topology that spans multiple locations regardless of the quantity, as you can typically bring a FAR superior SLA to your organization/customers while simultaneously saving a significant amount of money. (Say what?!) Chuck (or anyone for that matter), I am always delighted to have discussions surrounding these technologies. Feel free to reach out! /Evan

my company has been rolling out a SDWAN solution (not cisco but a top competitor). It is pretty neat, and a lot of our "problem" locations have stopped complaining after making the switch. it sounds like all the sdwan providers hit the same features Chuck described like load balancing, fail over, ease of scaling etc. One thing to note is this is still new, and no one has a perfect solution. There are bugs to be found. Sometimes stuff acts weird and i find myself wishing i was dealing with a plain old Cisco CLI & router. There's still a CLI running under the gui that can spit out wayyy more information. Think about it on windows.. you can go into the control panel (gui) and dig through settings for your ip address, or you and open cmd and type ipconfig. I see a bunch of comments questioning cisco certs. The certs still teach you core fundamentals of networking, and protocols that are still very much in play with SDWAN.

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

Agree; MPLS is still relevant, but SD-WAN certainly puts pressure on the incumbent providers. Still, if your locations support multiple providers (cable, fiber, cellular, satellite) it becomes much easier to justify saying “hasta la vista baby” to MPLS

@JonMichaelDeBona

Not necessarily. It depends on the implementation. QoS is not honored on a public Internet underlay, but with the right provider's solution, you can get an SLA with 99.999% or 100% availability when the design includes proper hardware redundancy and circuit diversity.

There isn't rely isn't SLA for cable networks. At least most of the time.

AAR (Application Aware Routing) polices will steer the traffic. I suggest that you use something like a inline packet storm appliance to get the performance metrics for each application. The packet storm appliance will inject packet loss, latency and jitter over a given ckt. With the metric collected by the packet storm appliance you can tune your AAR policies. I hope this helped. Great video :-)

Explained it very well !!

@5:15 i Don’t think Aaron liked that joke too much 😂 Great video though Chuck !

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?

BG music gives nice vibes while learning.

We started to use SDWAN here from Citrix. I only can say that kind of tech is amazing. We have all of our branches running over SDWAN. It's like magic, man.

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.

Great video! Our client is going from IPSec vpn connection to other offices to sdwan provided by cloudgenix. I’m curious to know now if they do web filtering like you described Cisco does.

The background music is a mood 😊
