Software Defined Networking (SDN) should be of interest to Cisco certification candidates. Why? Traditional networking functions that you learn in the Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician (CCENT) and Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) programs are old. There are newer technologies and concepts that will be emerging over the years to come. It’s likely that those starting out in networking today will be dealing with those technologies in the near future. This post aims to provide a CCENT or CCNA candidate a brief introduction into what SDN is and how it compares to traditional switching/forwarding.
This is an excellent introduction to software defined networking. You should read up before Networking Field Day 6 next week. It’s going to be a Software Defined Good Time.
