Manage and Monitor SD-Routing Devices

The Manage and Monitor SD-Routing Devices Lab is a capability of the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with one of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN's newest features, SD-Routing. The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

SD-Routing (Software-Defined Routing) is designed to simplify the way we manage our traditional routing devices. Onboarding devices using SD-Routing allows you to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot non-fabric devices from the Catalyst Manager, making way for operational simplicity and agility to traditional routing deployments. SD-Routing makes it easier for administrators and engineers to manage their devices all within a single unified management platform, enabling them to streamline processes that would normally need to be accomplished by accessing separate applications or multiple windows.

This lab enables users to gain hands-on experience in deploying, managing, and monitoring traditional routing devices through the use of SD-Routing.

The purpose of this lab is to assist in developing proficiency in the process of onboarding traditional routing devices in a Cisco SD-WAN environment using SD-Routing. Upon completion of this lab, users acquire the knowledge of deploying, managing, and monitoring devices through the SD-Routing feature.
