HYW - Hybrid WAN

Training objectives

At the end of “Hybrid WAN” course, attendees will know how to configure Dynamic WAN Selectionand WAN Security features to deploy hybrid networks.

Duration

2 days (1 day only without workshops nor the troubleshooting section)

Training methods

Theoretical presentation with the help of video projection and immediate practical application by the attendees taking part in workshops on the training platforms (2 attendees per platform).
