This is my first time ever posting in here so I apologize if this is not the right venue to ask this question.
I have been working on my CCNP and then following on for a CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure. However, I noticed that there is no way to download the images for vManage, vEdge/vBond, and vSmart. I would like to be able to configure these devices so that I can learn more about them for not only to test but to be more familiar in general, even if I was to look into implementing SD-WAN networks. Does anyone know if Cisco plans or if there is a way that I can get these images for pure learning purposes?
V/r,

Hi
There are a couple of limited ways to get some exposure to Cisco SDWAN required for studies.
1. Devnet SDWAN sandbox
2. dCloud SDWAN lab
You can also download the Viptela SDWAN image bundle (vManage, vSmart, Edge) from Cisco software downloads section if you have a valid Cisco contract.
You need a PC/Laptop/VM with at least 24GB to run a simple SDWAN lab.
From version 17.x you can only install Certificates if have a Cisco Smart Account.
Pre 17.x .. e.g 16.x you can create self-signed local certificates and bring the devices online.
Hope this helps
