Overview
Explains the Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) as the control plane protocol responsible for establishing and maintaining the Cisco SD-WAN overlay network. OMP manages routing, policy, and security information exchange between Cisco SD-WAN Controllers and edge devices.
Overlay Management Protocol
Explains the Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) as the control plane protocol responsible for establishing and maintaining the Cisco SD-WAN overlay network. OMP manages routing, policy, and security information exchange between Cisco SD-WAN Controllers and edge devices. It provides operational details, limitations, and configuration procedures.
Border Gateway Protocol
Explains the integration of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) within the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN framework. Understanding these mechanisms allows administrators to establish robust connectivity between autonomous systems, ensuring efficient data routing and seamless interoperability across complex network overlays.
Open Shortest Path First Routing Protocol
Provides an overview of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) as a link-state routing protocol for IP networks and OSPFv3 as its enhanced version designed to support both IPv4 and IPv6 address families.
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol
Explains how to implement Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) to achieve fast network convergence and efficient bandwidth usage. Learn to configure EIGRP using templates or the CLI to scale your overlay network effectively while maintaining protocol-independent neighbor discovery.
Routing Information Protocol
Explains how to configure Routing Information Protocol (RIP), including RIPv2 and RIPng, to manage routing exchange in small to medium networks. Learn to facilitate route redistribution between local sites and the overlay network using distance-vector algorithms..
Multicast Overlay Routing
Provides an overview of multicast overlay routing in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN, detailing how to efficiently distribute one-to-many traffic.
Radio Aware Routing
Provides an overview of Radio-Aware Routing (RAR), which is a mechanism designed for mobile networks that allows a router to interact with radio interfaces to improve routing performance.
Route Leaking between VPNs
Explains how to replicate routing information across different VPNs to facilitate communication between isolated network segments. Learn to simplify service sharing and migrations by enabling direct access between branches without requiring complex hub-bypass configurations.
Bi-directional Forwarding Detection Protocol
Explains how Bi-directional Forwarding Detection Protocol (BFD) provides rapid failure detection between forwarding engines to enable faster network reconvergence. You can learn how to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot BFD for both overlay tunnels and traditional routing protocols like BGP and OSPF.
Cisco Cisco SD-WAN Controller Route Filtering by TLOC Color
Describes how to optimize network performance by selectively advertising routes based on transport location (TLOC) attributes. It helps administrators reduce control plane overhead and ensure routers receive only the path information compatible with their specific transport colors.
Rendezvous Point Selection Process by a PIM BSR
Details instructions for implementing automated discovery of an rendevouz point (RP) using a protocol independent multicast - bootstrap router (PIM BSR) to eliminate single points of failure. It details how to configure candidate devices to ensure high availability and seamless multicast traffic flow across network sites.
Multicast Source Discovery Protocol
Guides users towards enabling interoperability between SD-WAN and non-SD-WAN domains to facilitate inter-domain source discovery using Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP).
Transport Gateway
Explains how to simplify hub-and-spoke topologies by using routers as transit hubs for disjoint networks. It enables administrators to provide connectivity between separate physical and cloud environments without the complexity of manual control policy configurations.
Symmetric Routing
Explains the purpose of symmetric routing and why it is required to ensure consistent traffic flow, predictable forwarding behavior, and proper stateful inspection in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN deployments
Hub-and-Spoke
Explains how to streamline your network topology by establishing a centralized communication model without complex control policies. Learn to designate routers as hubs or spokes to optimize resource demands and enforce centralized security services across the overlay network.
