This course is based on lightweight access points, controllers, and the advanced feature set. Learn to design, install, configure, and maintain a wireless network both as an add-on to an existing wireless LAN and as a new Cisco Unified Wireless Network solution.
After a quick overview of the solution, you will investigate components, features, and deployment of the system. Reinforced with what you learn with hands-on configuration labs covering such lessons as CLI and controller web configuration tools. You will configure the Cisco Unified Wireless Network solution for open and web authentication, 802.1X/EAP authentication, and 802.11i/WPA/WPA2 encryption for the client, access point, and the WLAN controller. You will explore Cisco WCS and reinforce what you learn about this comprehensive tool in hands-on configuration labs covering topics such as managing the WLAN controller using WCS, using WCS templates, creating admin accounts, configuring the WLAN controller, importing and working with maps, and using WCS to perform administrative functions on the deployed wireless network. You will conclude by learning to maintain a WLAN using the Cisco Unified Wireless Network solution. You'll explore unique product features and standard maintenance procedures as well as detailed troubleshooting methodologies and debugging tools.
