Concerto SD-WAN Application Prioritization and Steering

In this instructor-led Concerto Traffic Management course, you’ll learn to prioritize application traffic, manage WAN bandwidth, and steer traffic across SD-WAN paths using Versa Concerto. In three hands-on labs, you’ll deploy traffic policies, verify their behavior on managed appliances, and observe how forwarding changes when a WAN path no longer meets its service-level requirements.

What you’ll learn

• Translate application priorities into traffic treatment and WAN path preferences.
• Build reusable QoS Profiles, Application QoS policies, and Interface Schedulers, then deploy them through Concerto Main Templates.
• Verify how Application QoS rule order affects traffic classification by generating traffic and checking policy counters.
• Configure Adaptive Shaping on branch WAN links and verify how the hub applies the advertised rates to traffic sent to a branch.
• Configure Traffic Steering rules and Forwarding Profiles with preferred and alternate WAN paths and service-level agreement (SLA) requirements.
• Verify application steering under normal conditions, during WAN impairment, and after recovery.

Course content

This course includes four lessons and three guided labs.

1. 1. Operational Traffic Engineering Foundations
2. 2. Class of Service and Traffic Prioritization
3. 3. Adaptive Shaping
4. 4. SD-WAN Policy and Application Steering

Hands-on labs

• Class of Service — Deploy Application QoS rules, QoS Profiles, and an Interface Scheduler. Generate video traffic, change the rule order, and verify which rule counts the traffic.
• Adaptive Shaping — Configure downlink rates for branch Internet and MPLS links. Change the Internet rate and verify that the hub updates the shaping rate for that path while the MPLS rate stays the same.
• Traffic and Application Steering — Deploy separate forwarding preferences for corporate and generic traffic. Impair the Internet path, verify that generic traffic can move to MPLS, then restore the path and confirm that new traffic can use it again.

Who should attend

This course is intended for network engineers, administrators, and technical support professionals who configure or troubleshoot traffic management in Versa Concerto SD-WAN deployments.

Recommended prerequisites

Familiarity with IP networking, SD-WAN fundamentals, and Versa Concerto deployment workflows is recommended. Concerto SD-WAN Implementation or equivalent hands-on experience provides a useful foundation.
