Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN (Viptela) - Multi-Region Fabric Sandbox (20.12)

The Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Multi-Region Fabric (Hierarchical SD-WAN) Sandbox is a capability of the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the features of Cisco's SD-WAN MRF solution. The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

Multi-region fabric, previously known as hierarchical SD-WAN, represents a comprehensive set of capabilities specifically engineered to simplify the intricate landscape of WAN deployment scenarios. These features offer an efficient solution for IT teams tasked with establishing and overseeing SD-WAN networks across multiple geographic regions, providing connectivity to various sites through a diverse range of WAN transport methods.

The purpose of the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Multi-Fabric Sandbox is to allow you to further explore the many Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Multi-Region Fabric features on your own. With this already-built for you MRF topology, you can continue designing, implementing and managing the SD-WAN Multi-Region Solution to further enhance your skills and allow you to experiment, explore and practice your own designs.
