This network belongs to a fictitious business known as. SteelConnect Beginner - Sandbox Full Mesh.Here's what we will cover if you want to jump to a specific section: Let's begin by laying out what the network looks like from the perspective of our Dashboard in SteelConnect Manager (SCM). I'll explain some of the major components of the solution and how they fit together, as well as how to add a new site and configure the gateway before you even ship it there. So if you're a beginner, this is where you want to start. In this article I'll cover how to deploy the Riverbed SD-WAN solution from a high level. One thing that I found was that the complexity of a networking deployment still existed to a large degree despite throwing around the term "Zero-Touch-Provisioning." In reality, there is a great deal of pre-work that needs to be done in architecting a network, but the tools we use shouldn't make it more difficult than it needs to be.


I've been with Riverbed for a little over a year now, and before that I spent a lot of time looking at different SD-WAN vendors.
