4-day Hands-on Cisco Authorized Course
Course Description
This advanced course includes instructor-led training and in-depth instructor assisted, hands-on labs. The curriculum is designed to give students a firm understanding of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, with emphasis on advanced WLAN design integrating Cisco autonomous access points into a wired infrastructure including the Cisco Secure ACS and CiscoWorks WLSE. This design will include Layer 2 Layer 3 roaming and security. This training does NOT cover lightweight access points and controllers (see Cisco Unified Wireless Network Training).
To participate in the hands-on labs, please bring a laptop computer with an available 32-bit Card-Bus slot and an Ethernet port. The laptop’s operating systems must be either MS Windows 2000 (SP4) or XP. The laptop should also have a 9-pin serial port or USB to serial adapter. IN ADDITION, you will need administrator rights to the laptop to install drivers for the wireless client used in class.
Course Objectives
After completing this course, the student should be able to:
- Describe detailed technical features, functions and benefits of the WLAN product offerings available from Cisco
- Describe the management of the core feature set WLAN
- Administer security so that the network is safe from attack
