4-day Hands-on Cisco Authorized Course
Course Description
This 4-day technical training for designing, managing, and troubleshooting enterprise wireless networks using the Cisco Unified Wireless Network. This course includes instructor-led training and in-depth instructor assisted, hands-on labs. It covers deployments based on lightweight access points, controllers and the advanced feature set as well as autonomous access points and the core feature set.
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.
