This guide is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to get hands-on experience with Cisco’s Catalyst SD-WAN platform. The step-by-step instructions are clear and easy to follow, making the complex process of setting up a home lab feel manageable, even for those who aren’t experts. I appreciated the detailed breakdown of hardware and software requirements, along with helpful screenshots and configuration examples. Terry also does a great job explaining key concepts along the way, which adds real educational value rather than just a “click here, type this” approach. Overall, this is an excellent guide that I’d highly recommend to network engineers or anyone wanting to deepen their SD-WAN knowledge with practical, hands-on learning.

Thank you Terry In Feb, I listen through all videos and got a first view of SD-WAN. The last weeks, yes weeks, I have struggled to implement your topology on my Intel NUC. First with ESXI 6.7 and CML, until it crashed. Then on Proxmox. First I tried with CML, but I didn't understand Node Definitions well enough. So I jumped over EVE-NG Community. For each day, two steps in front and one step back. Reinstalling EVE-NG, trying different versions of SD-WAN images. And doubled the RAM on the NUC. My biggest challenge was to understand I needed to increase RAM on the Manager. EVE-NG set it default to 16GB, it must be increased to at least 24GB. It took me some days But in the end, the lab is functional according to this free course, except the HQ-site. The NUC works hard now. I have learned so much and I am eager to go further. Is your Advanced course up and going? I also have to check the certificate process in v20.15.2 for Edge-devices and Enterprise CA. It went through without any CSR. I have some captures where I have to dig into the certificates the different devices use for authenticating themselves Again, thanks
