Frequently asked questions

What is the main benefit of using Cisco's SD-WAN solution? The primary advantage of Cisco's SD-WAN solution is enhanced network performance and flexibility. It enables you to optimize WAN connectivity by dynamically selecting the best transport path (MPLS, broadband, cellular, or other links) based on application requirements, while reducing complexity, improving user experiences, and lowering total cost of ownership.

Can this solution integrate with our existing network infrastructure? Absolutely. The Cisco Digital Network Architecture Advantage WAN is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing systems, ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing disruptions during deployment. It works with Cisco routers and SD-WAN appliances to extend capabilities without replacing current hardware prematurely.

Is this a cloud-based subscription, and can it scale with our organization? Yes. It is a cloud subscription license that provides scalable resources and management flexibility. The cloud model supports expansion across more sites, users, and applications as your organization grows, while enabling centralized governance and rapid provisioning.

Which protocols are supported, and why does that matter? The solution supports BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP, covering core routing protocols used in modern enterprise networks. This broad protocol support ensures compatibility with diverse network architectures and enables reliable inter-domain and intra-domain routing, contributing to consistent performance and easier policy implementation across the WAN.

How do I start optimizing performance after installation? Begin by leveraging the Network Performance Monitoring and Traffic Management features to baseline your traffic, identify bottlenecks, and implement application-aware routing policies. Regularly review the centralized dashboard to adjust path selection, QoS, and security settings aligned with evolving workloads and business priorities.
