Deploying and Managing SD-WAN with HPE Mist

This three-day, intermediate-level course provides students with the foundational knowledge required to work with HPE Mist Networking WAN Assurance. The course summarizes how WAN Assurance streamlines the deployment, configuration, and management of HPE Mist WAN Edge devices in a full hub-and-spoke software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) deployment. Key topics include a review of fundamental HPE Mist Agentic AIOps platform concepts; the onboarding options for WAN Edge devices; an overview of the supported security features; design principles and steps for implementing basic standalone, multisite standalone, and SD-WAN topologies; the best way to leverage variables and the automation available in HPE Mist for deploying and scaling the network; how HPE Mist translates intent into configurations on the SRX firewalls and session smart routers; how to create custom application and filtering for unique traffic flows; establishing HPE and third-party secure services edge (SSE) connections; design principles for highly available WAN Edges; and monitoring and troubleshooting WAN Edges in the HPE Mist Networking. The labs in this course follow a sequential structure, requiring participants to complete each lab in the specified order. Each lab builds upon concepts and configurations established in the preceding labs, culminating in the creation of an overlay within an SD-WAN deployment. The session smart routers run version 6.3.3-40.r2 to align with the published validated design, “WAN Edge with the Session Smart Router.”
