Sound familiar?

UX 2.0 introduced a completely different way of thinking about SD-WAN configuration. Most engineers hit the same walls.

πŸ€”

Configuration Groups and Policy Groups - what are they exactly?

You've heard the terms but aren't sure what they actually are, how they work, or how they differ from classic templates.

🧩

The jump from templates to UX 2.0 isn't intuitive

The new model thinks differently. The documentation doesn't bridge the gap, and figuring it out through trial and error in production isn't an option.

πŸ”

Most content online still covers the legacy model

Good UX 2.0 resources are scarce. You're left piecing together release notes, sparse docs, and forum threads that rarely give you the full picture.

There's a better way to learn UX 2.0

When I was getting up to speed with UX 2.0, I kept running into the same problem: the documentation tells you what things are, but not how they actually fit together. I built this course so you can learn by doing and finally have everything click into place

By the end you'll understand Configuration and Policy Groups from the ground up, know exactly how they relate to each other, and be able to deploy, modify, and troubleshoot them with confidence.

βš™οΈ
Configuration Groups - fully explained From concepts and design to hands-on deployment for branch and HQ sites.
πŸ“‹
Policy Groups - built from scratch Topology, Application Aware Routing, QoS, and Data Policies in the new model.
πŸ§ͺ
Real lab, real configs Follow along with CML, EVE-NG, or GNS3. Running configs provided for everything.

Learn From Real, Everyday Experience

Hi, I'm Alex β€” a CCIE Enterprise certified network engineer (CCIE #66705) with 8+ years in the field, sharing hands-on SD-WAN knowledge with engineers worldwide through NetWithAlex.

I've helped teams navigate complex Cisco SD-WAN deployments and I know exactly where engineers get stuck with UX 2.0. This course exists because I couldn't find the resource I wished I had when I was learning it myself. Everything here comes from real deployments, real problems, and real solutions.
