1
00:00.000 --> 00:07.680
So let's begin by taking a look at something called Cisco DCloud.

2
00:07.680 --> 00:15.840
DCloud is a demonstration and sandbox environment offered by Cisco where we can

3
00:15.840 --> 00:17.720
go in and test

4
00:17.720 --> 00:21.120
pretty much every product in Cisco's arsenal.

5
00:21.120 --> 00:24.600
One of those products of course being SD-WAN.

6
00:24.600 --> 00:29.680
And the really cool thing about this feature is Cisco offers it for free.

7
00:29.680 --> 00:33.390
Now you do of course have to schedule the sessions and it's going to be on a
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

7
00:29.680 --> 00:33.390
Now you do of course have to schedule the sessions and it's going to be on a

8
00:33.390 --> 00:34.160
first come,

9
00:34.160 --> 00:38.160
first serve basis as far as if equipment is available.

10
00:38.160 --> 00:41.240
But other than that, it is provided for free.

11
00:41.240 --> 00:47.360
So this can be a really good way to get started with a new technology such as

12
00:47.360 --> 00:48.360
SD-WAN.

13
00:48.360 --> 00:52.470
There are demonstrations, there's actually full blown labs you can do on the

14
00:52.470 --> 00:53.240
products.

15
00:53.240 --> 00:59.640
So what we're going to do in this video is get you in and connected to DCloud.

16
00:59.640 --> 01:05.600
I'll also show you how to schedule and spin up on SD-WAN environment.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

16
00:59.640 --> 01:05.600
I'll also show you how to schedule and spin up on SD-WAN environment.

17
01:05.600 --> 01:09.660
Then in the next video, we'll actually jump into that environment, explore it a

18
01:09.660 --> 01:09.960
little

19
01:09.960 --> 01:15.760
bit and see what we can do with VManage in our SD-WAN environment.

20
01:15.760 --> 01:17.080
So let's go ahead and jump in.

21
01:17.080 --> 01:24.400
We'll start by simply going to dcloud.sisco.com.

22
01:24.400 --> 01:31.080
So the first thing we want to do is navigate here to dcloud.sisco.com.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

22
01:24.400 --> 01:31.080
So the first thing we want to do is navigate here to dcloud.sisco.com.

23
01:31.080 --> 01:35.650
Now we can't exactly see the URL here because I already have this zoomed in so

24
01:35.650 --> 01:36.280
we can get

25
01:36.280 --> 01:38.560
a more detailed look at the page.

26
01:38.560 --> 01:42.860
But the URL is here at the top of this page where I have it printed out and

27
01:42.860 --> 01:43.560
there's a

28
01:43.560 --> 01:46.360
link provided below the video.

29
01:46.360 --> 01:53.760
So navigate to dcloud.sisco.com and log in with your CCO account.

30
01:53.760 --> 01:59.280
Once you log in, I would suggest starting by going here to my hub.

31
01:59.280 --> 02:02.680
Now there are other ways to find content.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

31
01:59.280 --> 02:02.680
Now there are other ways to find content.

32
02:02.680 --> 02:06.320
Like most things, there's multiple ways to do this.

33
02:06.320 --> 02:10.080
And you can also see that I already have a session scheduled.

34
02:10.080 --> 02:14.420
That's because this does take a few hours to schedule and for the environment

35
02:14.420 --> 02:14.960
to spin

36
02:14.960 --> 02:16.280
up.

37
02:16.280 --> 02:20.780
So in order to record this session, I wanted to make sure it was already ready

38
02:20.780 --> 02:21.360
to go.

39
02:21.360 --> 02:26.330
However, if you don't have anything scheduled, there'll be a big button right

40
02:26.330 --> 02:27.080
here for finding

41
02:27.080 --> 02:30.480
content that you can then schedule.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

41
02:27.080 --> 02:30.480
content that you can then schedule.

42
02:30.480 --> 02:35.990
Other ways to find it is we can come over here to the catalog and then we can

43
02:35.990 --> 02:36.760
do a search.

44
02:36.760 --> 02:39.840
I would recommend a simple search for SDWAN.

45
02:39.840 --> 02:44.680
Now as you can see, there are several different choices that come up such as

46
02:44.680 --> 02:46.040
custom topologies.

47
02:46.040 --> 02:50.510
The one that I would recommend starting with if we scroll down a little bit,

48
02:50.510 --> 02:50.920
there's one

49
02:50.920 --> 03:01.240
right here called the Cisco Catalyst SDWAN version 20.9.1/17.9.1 single DC V1.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

49
02:50.920 --> 03:01.240
right here called the Cisco Catalyst SDWAN version 20.9.1/17.9.1 single DC V1.

50
03:01.240 --> 03:05.040
And all you have to do is click here on schedule.

51
03:05.040 --> 03:09.640
You can choose whether you want to do a single session or multiple sessions.

52
03:09.640 --> 03:11.640
That's of course your preference.

53
03:11.640 --> 03:15.360
I'm simply going to demonstrate a single session here.

54
03:15.360 --> 03:17.520
I will then bring up the calendar.

55
03:17.520 --> 03:21.650
And of course, you can scroll down here, look at the calendar and you can see

56
03:21.650 --> 03:22.320
what times

57
03:22.320 --> 03:24.600
and dates are available.

58
03:24.600 --> 03:29.460
And of course, all you would have to do here is select a time that's convenient

59
03:29.460 --> 03:30.000
for you
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

60
03:30.000 --> 03:33.080
and then hit next to schedule the session.

61
03:33.080 --> 03:37.310
I'm of course not going to finish this since I already have a session

62
03:37.310 --> 03:38.400
configured.

63
03:38.400 --> 03:41.520
But this is where you would go to schedule it.

64
03:41.520 --> 03:46.520
When you get to the start time for your event, you should get an email on your

65
03:46.520 --> 03:47.600
CCO registered

66
03:47.600 --> 03:49.440
email address.

67
03:49.440 --> 03:55.240
And if we go back to the hub, notice that on our session, before this started,

68
03:55.240 --> 03:56.000
it would

69
03:56.000 --> 03:58.120
have said starting.

70
03:58.120 --> 04:00.480
Now it has changed to view.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

70
03:58.120 --> 04:00.480
Now it has changed to view.

71
04:00.480 --> 04:05.000
And this will take a few moments after the start of your session, usually

72
04:05.000 --> 04:06.040
between 20 and

73
04:06.040 --> 04:07.720
30 minutes.

74
04:07.720 --> 04:12.620
So you'll want to schedule your start time about 20 to 30 minutes before you

75
04:12.620 --> 04:13.240
actually

76
04:13.240 --> 04:17.550
want to start because it does have to spin up and configure all of this

77
04:17.550 --> 04:18.560
equipment.

78
04:18.560 --> 04:22.840
Of course, we can also end or edit the session and so on.

79
04:22.840 --> 04:28.720
But if we click on view, it will show us the topology here in the middle.

80
04:28.720 --> 04:32.440
You can use your mouse to scroll around and drag on this.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

80
04:28.720 --> 04:32.440
You can use your mouse to scroll around and drag on this.

81
04:32.440 --> 04:37.800
You can also, for example, use your scroll wheel to zoom out and zoom in if you

82
04:37.800 --> 04:38.200
want

83
04:38.200 --> 04:41.440
to get more detailed on any of these devices.

84
04:41.440 --> 04:47.290
But what we're really here for is to take a look at how to connect to this

85
04:47.290 --> 04:47.600
session.

86
04:47.600 --> 04:53.180
So what we want to do is come over here and click on details and under session

87
04:53.180 --> 04:54.440
configuration,

88
04:54.440 --> 04:56.840
you'll want to scroll down.

89
04:56.840 --> 05:02.160
And what we're going to want off of this list is the VPN information.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

89
04:56.840 --> 05:02.160
And what we're going to want off of this list is the VPN information.

90
05:02.160 --> 05:08.360
This we have our host, our user and our password all listed here.

91
05:08.360 --> 05:11.740
This is of course going to be randomly generated every time, but you're going

92
05:11.740 --> 05:12.360
to need this

93
05:12.360 --> 05:16.680
information to VPN into your session.

94
05:16.680 --> 05:21.940
One other quick note here, if you don't already have the any connect client,

95
05:21.940 --> 05:23.280
you can actually

96
05:23.280 --> 05:29.060
take this host name, put it into your browser, navigate to it, put in this

97
05:29.060 --> 05:31.760
username and password,
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

97
05:29.060 --> 05:31.760
username and password,

98
05:31.760 --> 05:36.260
and it will take you to a download page where you can then download and install

99
05:36.260 --> 05:36.760
the VPN

100
05:36.760 --> 05:38.240
client.

101
05:38.240 --> 05:43.040
So once you get the client installed, it's just a standard Windows installer.

102
05:43.040 --> 05:47.520
Go ahead and launch it and then we'll navigate to this host.

103
05:47.520 --> 05:50.160
So we'll put the host name in, they give us.

104
05:50.160 --> 05:51.800
Well hit connect.

105
05:51.800 --> 05:54.620
It's then going to ask us for the username and password.

106
05:54.620 --> 05:59.080
Of course, we want to put in the ones that are here in the session details.

107
05:59.080 --> 06:01.920
Once that information's in, we'll hit okay.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

107
05:59.080 --> 06:01.920
Once that information's in, we'll hit okay.

108
06:01.920 --> 06:04.920
If it worked correctly, we should get this message telling us we are now

109
06:04.920 --> 06:05.520
connected to

110
06:05.520 --> 06:07.880
the Cisco D cloud.

111
06:07.880 --> 06:13.480
In my case, RTP, since my account is set up for the East coast in the United

112
06:13.480 --> 06:14.320
States,

113
06:14.320 --> 06:17.640
yours of course may connect to a different D cloud.

114
06:17.640 --> 06:21.730
They do have a few different locations, but we're connected to the D cloud

115
06:21.730 --> 06:22.520
platform.

116
06:22.520 --> 06:26.560
We simply hit accept and we are now connected.

117
06:26.560 --> 06:31.480
Our next step is going to be to connect into our management workstation.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

117
06:26.560 --> 06:31.480
Our next step is going to be to connect into our management workstation.

118
06:31.480 --> 06:37.160
If we close our session details here and we scroll up on our diagram a little

119
06:37.160 --> 06:37.640
bit, this

120
06:37.640 --> 06:42.200
workstation right here is the one that we're going to be connecting to.

121
06:42.200 --> 06:45.160
So what we have to do is RDP into this.

122
06:45.160 --> 06:48.340
And again, if you need any more detail on how to do this, aside from what I'm

123
06:48.340 --> 06:48.720
about

124
06:48.720 --> 06:54.350
to show you, if you click here on resources, the best place to start is going

125
06:54.350 --> 06:55.080
to be under

126
06:55.080 --> 06:59.880
this Cisco catalyst SD WAN single DC demo guide.

127
06:59.880 --> 07:04.430
This will tell you if you open it where to go to connect to that workstation
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

127
06:59.880 --> 07:04.430
This will tell you if you open it where to go to connect to that workstation

128
07:04.430 --> 07:05.180
initially.

129
07:05.180 --> 07:08.900
I already have that information, so I'm just going to show you, but you could

130
07:08.900 --> 07:09.640
very easily

131
07:09.640 --> 07:12.360
get it right there from the documentation.

132
07:12.360 --> 07:16.100
So how we connect to this workstation, there's actually again a few things we

133
07:16.100 --> 07:16.720
can do.

134
07:16.720 --> 07:19.420
And by the way, if you don't look at the documentation, if you click on the

135
07:19.420 --> 07:20.000
workstation

136
07:20.000 --> 07:26.680
here, it'll actually tell you its addresses and the username and password.

137
07:26.680 --> 07:29.480
So you don't really have to go digging through the documentation.

138
07:29.480 --> 07:33.500
I will tell you that the documentation recommends that we connect here to this
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

138
07:29.480 --> 07:33.500
I will tell you that the documentation recommends that we connect here to this

139
07:33.500 --> 07:38.680
198.18.133.36 address.

140
07:38.680 --> 07:43.200
Now notice right down here at the bottom, we can actually open the virtual

141
07:43.200 --> 07:44.320
machine console

142
07:44.320 --> 07:47.040
or remote desktop.

143
07:47.040 --> 07:51.280
If you do that, it will open these directly here in your browser.

144
07:51.280 --> 07:54.400
And you can certainly do that if you want.

145
07:54.400 --> 08:01.120
Personally, I prefer to use the regular built in Windows RDP client.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

145
07:54.400 --> 08:01.120
Personally, I prefer to use the regular built in Windows RDP client.

146
08:01.120 --> 08:02.880
That way you can go full screen.

147
08:02.880 --> 08:07.280
It has a lot more options than just using it here in the web browser.

148
08:07.280 --> 08:11.600
However, you can certainly click on those and they definitely work.

149
08:11.600 --> 08:15.040
I'm going to go the method of doing RDP.

150
08:15.040 --> 08:18.000
So let's launch the RDP client.

151
08:18.000 --> 08:24.800
So one of your remote desktop client will navigate to the 198.18.133.36.

152
08:24.800 --> 08:26.440
Will hit connect.

153
08:26.440 --> 08:30.800
It's going to ask us if we want to verify that computer.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

153
08:26.440 --> 08:30.800
It's going to ask us if we want to verify that computer.

154
08:30.800 --> 08:33.800
If you want, you can say don't ask me again.

155
08:33.800 --> 08:37.120
But either way, we want to say yes.

156
08:37.120 --> 08:40.760
So that should connect to this login screen.

157
08:40.760 --> 08:43.480
It's automatically going to go to demo user.

158
08:43.480 --> 08:49.360
All we have to do is put in the supplied password, hit enter, and it should log

159
08:49.360 --> 08:50.040
us in.

160
08:50.040 --> 08:54.680
So now we are on the desktop of that management workstation.

161
08:54.680 --> 08:58.210
Just to make sure everything's working, let's go ahead and launch Chrome on

162
08:58.210 --> 08:58.840
this remote

163
08:58.840 --> 09:00.600
desktop.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

163
08:58.840 --> 09:00.600
desktop.

164
09:00.600 --> 09:03.160
It's actually already trying to open VManage.

165
09:03.160 --> 09:07.200
So let's just go to advanced, tell it to proceed.

166
09:07.200 --> 09:13.540
And here on the SDWAN login, it's admin, and the same password we used to log

167
09:13.540 --> 09:14.080
into the

168
09:14.080 --> 09:15.800
desktop.

169
09:15.800 --> 09:22.520
As of right now, that's Cisco 12345 with the I in Cisco being a one.

170
09:22.520 --> 09:24.960
Cisco may change that at some point in the future.

171
09:24.960 --> 09:27.520
Just keep your eye on the documentation.

172
09:27.520 --> 09:30.080
So now let's go ahead and say login.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

172
09:27.520 --> 09:30.080
So now let's go ahead and say login.

173
09:30.080 --> 09:36.040
So we are now logged in and connected to the monitor overview page of VManage

174
09:36.040 --> 09:37.440
in our DCloud

175
09:37.440 --> 09:39.520
environment.

176
09:39.520 --> 09:44.950
So in this video, we took a look at an awesome service offered for free by

177
09:44.950 --> 09:46.360
Cisco, which is

178
09:46.360 --> 09:48.720
their DCloud environment.

179
09:48.720 --> 09:54.680
We took a look at how to log in, how to go to my hub, schedule a session,

180
09:54.680 --> 09:55.080
connect to

181
09:55.080 --> 10:00.610
that session, and then use our VPN to actually form a network connection into
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

181
09:55.080 --> 10:00.610
that session, and then use our VPN to actually form a network connection into

182
10:00.610 --> 10:01.480
it, remote

183
10:01.480 --> 10:07.270
desktop into our management workstation, and finally open up our browser here

184
10:07.270 --> 10:08.120
to VManage

185
10:08.120 --> 10:10.680
in this SDWAN environment.

186
10:10.680 --> 10:15.550
So in the next video, let's take a few moments to get used to the VManage

187
10:15.550 --> 10:17.880
interface and navigate

188
10:17.880 --> 10:19.640
around in this GUI.
