Cisco ENSDWI 300-415 study guide
Cisco ENSDWI 300-415 · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Cisco ENSDWI 300-415 exam (Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions) is the concentration exam behind the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise SD-WAN Implementation certification. It targets network engineers, design and implementation staff, and operations teams who deploy and run Cisco SD-WAN fabrics rather than only studying the concepts. The Cisco ENSDWI 300-415 study guide has 5 sections and about 2,212 words.
01SD-WAN Architecture and Controller Deployment
This domain tests whether you can place each controller in the right plane, describe how a WAN Edge joins the fabric, and choose a redundant on-premises or cloud-hosted deployment. vManage - management plane: GUI, templates, policy authoring, monitoring, upgrades.
464 words, about 2 min02SD-WAN Router and Template Configuration
This domain tests how WAN Edges get their configuration: feature templates, device templates, CLI add-on templates, variables, and the onboarding steps that take a factory device to a working TLOC. Feature template - one reusable configuration block of a type: System, VPN, Ethernet interface, BGP, OSPF, static route, ACL, QoS, SNMP.
441 words, about 2 min03SD-WAN Policy and Traffic Management
Expect questions on centralized versus local policy, the order policy components are evaluated, application-aware routing with SLA classes, and direct internet access. Lists - site, VPN, data prefix, application or application family, SLA class, TLOC/color.
460 words, about 2 min04SD-WAN Security and Service Insertion
This domain covers control-plane and data-plane crypto, enterprise PKI, on-box security, cloud-delivered security, and redirecting traffic through service nodes. Control plane: DTLS (or TLS) on UDP 12346 with certificate-based authentication, AES and periodic rekey.
442 words, about 2 min05SD-WAN Operations, Monitoring, and Troubleshooting
This domain tests your verification workflow: which tool shows which layer, the CLI commands that prove it, and the failure signatures you must recognize. Monitor Network Devices exposes control connections, BFD sessions, OMP routes and TLOCs, interfaces and tunnels per device.
