SDWAN Configure

[ankitohc]

Hello Experts,

I have just completed my CCNA certification. I want to get some hands on SD-WAN. I have a physical test lab at the office. How can I install the SD-wan on baremetal machine.. I have some advanced high-configuration CPU which i want to utilize to configure vManager on them.

Please suggest

as per i know you can not install any bare metal. you can use exsi and deploy OVA to testing purpose.

there are many Lab Simulators can help to build SD-WAN Lab, you can get CML  or  PNETLAB/EVE-NG ( google you get enough information to simulate the lab for practice).

I was told you can do SD-WAN lab on CML now whcih can run inside of Vmware Workstation or VMware EXSi server. You will need server-based PC with lots of resources;  you should start browsing "CML club" at CLN CML forum; then look at official installation guide; and search u-tube for more info on how/what/why.

Here is note form CML guide

The community of CML users has created and shared additional node definitions for use in CML. See the public cml-community repository to download additional node definitions or to share ones you have created.

The cml-community repository includes node definitions for Cisco VM images that are not bundled with CML but that may be available to you, depending on your or your company's entitlements. Examples of Cisco node definitions available from the cml-community repository are

• Cisco SD-WAN (vManage, vSmart, vBond, and vEdge)
• ......"
