Episode 72: Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Fundamentals

20 Jul 2025

Description

This episode explains Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which separates the control plane from the data plane to provide centralized management and programmability. Instead of configuring each device individually, SDN enables administrators to use controllers and APIs to manage network behavior across multiple devices. On the exam, SDN fundamentals appear because they represent the future of networking and are increasingly common in cloud and enterprise deployments.Real-world examples include using SDN to automate VLAN provisioning, enforce consistent security policies, or optimize traffic routing dynamically. The episode also covers the benefits of agility, simplified configuration, and automation, along with challenges such as controller reliability and security. By understanding SDN fundamentals, you’ll be prepared to answer exam questions and adapt to environments where software-driven control is a core requirement. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber audio courses, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
