CX SD-WAN Fundamental Training Lab Guide
Introduction
Welcome to CX SD-WAN fundamental training lab. This lab covers basic SD-WAN knowledge including onboarding WAN Edge, configuring feature device template, basic Hub-n-Spoke central control policy and common migration scenario.
The lab is intended for attendee has no prior SD-WAN knowledge. The instruction in this lab guide can be used for this training and also reference for future deployment.
Attendee for this training will gain SD-WAN knowledge and hands on experience from this lab.
1. Lab Access
The lab is designed using PoC Tool. To save attendee's time, the lab topology is pre-loaded and deployed. Each attendee has own pod with exact same setting to work on. To access the pod, attendee needs to anyconnect into dCloud using the provided login credential.
1.1. anyconnect to dCloud
Connect to dCloud dcloud-rtp-anyconnect.cisco.com
Note: found your login credential from webex team room.
1.2. access POC tool url from Chrome
https://198.18.133.200/virtual
1.3. login with username/password in table below
| username | password |
|---|---|
| dcloud@cisco.com | C1sco12345 |
1.4. Verify lab topology
Note: the lab topology has been pre-loaded for each pod. After login POC-tool console, you should see topology from 'Master View'
- Login vManage with admin/pocadmin to verify all controllers and WAN edges are up and running. https://198.18.133.200:8443
-
If controllers or WAN edge status does not match above screenshot, please try reboot vManage/vBond/vSmart from console. If that does not help, please ask your instructor to swap a new pod.
2. Lab Topology
The lab is built with (NFV) network function virtualization. There is no physical appliance in the lab. You can find the lab interface and addressing details from below diagram.
The connectivity and basic routing are pre-configured for the lab; here is the summary of the IP schema and information for each site.
| Site | subnet | SiteID | Routing Protocol |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control Plane | 19.1.1.0/24 | Static | |
| Internet Transport | 19.0.0.0/8 | Static | |
| MPLS Transport | 10.0.0.0/8 | Static,BGP | |
| DC | 10.10.100.0/24 | 10 | OSPF |
| Legacy Site | 10.30.100.0/24 | N/A | static |
| Branch1 | 10.200.100.0/24,10.200.200.0/24,192.168.10.0/24 | 100 | vrrp |
| Branch2 | 10.40.100.0/24,10.40.200.0/24,192.168.14.0/24 | 300 | vrrp |
