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

This Sandbox environment features a pre-configured network topology designed to showcase the diverse capabilities of the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN solution. The incorporated set of components within the lab topology include Controllers and IOS-XE WAN Edges (Catalyst 8000V), all running on 20.12.4/17.12.4 code.

The Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN 20.9.x Sandbox is a capability of the ATC designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the latest features in the Cisco SD-WAN solution. Within this lab version, every Edge participating in the SD-WAN fabric is a Catalyst 8000V. The environment that supports the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN 20.9.x Sandbox is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

This Sandbox environment features a pre-configured network topology designed to showcase the diverse capabilities of the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN solution. The incorporated set of components within the lab topology includes Controllers and IOS-XE WAN Edges (Catalyst 8000V), all running on 20.18.1/17.18.01a code.

This hands-on lab covers both basic and advanced Terraform concepts, using Cisco SD-WAN as the practical example. You'll progress from basic provider configuration and resource creation to advanced topics like modules, workspaces, and dynamic blocks, gaining practical experience with Infrastructure as Code best practices along the way.

This Sandbox environment features a pre-configured network topology designed to showcase the diverse capabilities of the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN solution. The incorporated set of components within the lab topology include Controllers and IOS-XE WAN Edges (Catalyst 8000V), all running on 20.15.1/17.15.01a code.

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

The Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Multi-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 fundamental 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.

This Sandbox environment features a pre-configured network topology designed to showcase the diverse capabilities of the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN solution. The incorporated set of components within the lab topology include Controllers and IOS-XE WAN Edges (Catalyst 8000V), all running on 20.16.1/17.16.01a code.

In the Meraki Dashboard, customers can access Catalyst switch statistics, configuration details, and troubleshooting tools, offering a comprehensive view from a single interface. The dashboard provides visibility into these aspects and actual monitoring but the dashboard itself only offers read-only access to the devices. Catalyst in Managed offers device management, including configuration changes. Thus, IOS-XE features, CLI management, and configuration for Cisco Catalyst switches in cloud managed mode continue to be supported.

The Cisco SD-WAN 20.3.4 Sandbox is a capability of the ATC designed to provide an environment to gain hands on experience with the latest features in the Cisco SD-WAN solution. The environment that supports the Cisco SD-WAN 20.3.4 Sandbox is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.

In this lab you will be able to log in to the Meraki dashboard, explore the Inventory of an Organization, review Wireless Networks, and all the Wireless Network settings including DHCP and VLANs. The lab will walk you through how to create a VLAN for each WLAN, a DHCP Scope, and configure other settings within the WLANs such as Wireless Security Policies, Layer 3 and Layer 7 Firewall and Traffic Shaping rules and create a Network Tag for your APs . You will also be shown a Guest access WLAN, how a splash page works and how it was created. You will also see a splash page demonstration. You'll get to review wireless client connectivity and how it receives DHCP. Then see how RF Profiles are created and WLAN availability using AP Tags.
