Cisco SDWAN: Onboarding vEdge Routers - Exploring Zero Touch Provisioning

Deploying vEdge Routers (Viptela Cloud Services Routers) using manual methods via the command line and via Zero Touch Provisioning. In this video we look at onboarding legacy Viptela vEdges. We will explore Cisco SDWAN deployments via CLI, vMange and vEdge interaction. Lastly, we will explore Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) through deploying a ZTP server in our lab environment. I walk through the deployment, configuration and operation of the ZTP server. Additionally, we explore fundamental troubleshooting to illustrate how the ZTP operates and how to know it is working as expected.

In this episode we are going to look deploying a Viptela Edge Router (vEdge)
