Guides the deployment and initial configuration of Cisco Software Defined Wide Area Network controllers, including creating virtual machine instances on different hypervisors and preparing the environment for network integration.
Deploy a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller controller
Configure a Cisco SD-WAN Controller controller to establish centralized control in the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN overlay network. This process ensures the controller is operational and integrated with the network for effective routing and policy management.
Create Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller VM instance on ESXi
Configure a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller VM instance on a server running VMware vSphere ESXi Hypervisor. This task enables you to start the Cisco SD-WAN Controller and connect to its console for further configuration.
Create a Cisco SD-WAN Controller VM instance on KVM
Configure a Cisco SD-WAN Controller VM instance on a server running the KVM hypervisor. This enables you to deploy the Cisco SD-WAN Controller controller in your virtualized environment.
Configure the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller
Configure the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller to enable authentication, join the overlay network, and establish basic connectivity. Configure essential parameters such as system IP, site ID, and tunnel interfaces to ensure proper operation.
Add Cisco SD-WAN Controller to the overlay network
Guides you through adding an SD-WAN controller to the overlay network using SD-WAN Manager workflows, including steps for certificate generation, signing, authentication, and handling both manual and automatic certificate renewal options.
