Cisco SDWAN onboarding (lab)

[nilesh0640]

Looking to get my hands on some cheap used Cisco hardware to do some lab testing. Im reviewing the onboarding steps and had one concern if anyone knows the answer to. Will I be able to onboard using PnP to my SDWAN Portal with preowned hardware or is Cisco preventing that type of thing from happening. I know you can do some of this virtually and there are other ways to do a lab, but I want a bit more exposure to the actual process when it comes to physical hardware.

 I dont believe this prevent it. But, SDWAN with hardware you need to be willing to spend a little bit because physical devices with SDWAN IOS will not be found in old device. We are talking about something with IOS-XE at least. 

 You can try to find Vipitela hardware maybe. But I believe most of SDWAN LAB is virtual for this reason, not easy to find affordable device with SDWAN support.
