The Managing Cisco Wireless LANs training class is designed to prepare you to use the Cisco Unified Wireless Network management products and applications to configure, administer, manage, troubleshoot, and optimize the network. This course is a classroom based instructor-led class that offers in-depth instructor-assisted hands-on labs. This course provides hands-on labs which cover controller firmware release 7.5 MR1 as well as Cisco Prime Infrastructure software release 1.4. All labs are hands-on labs via remote access, using real Cisco gear. Due to additional materials and labs, this class is now 4 days long.
The class begins with a high-level overview of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI) product line, including product functions, components, capabilities, and features. You will learn where to locate installation procedures for both the access point (AP) and their associated Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) and properly install the CUWN hardware appropriate to site and use requirements. You will look at ways to administer CUWN, 802.11 security policies, and QoS appropriately to protect and optimize performance on the wireless network. You will configure and implement key PI security features to mitigate WLAN security threats. You will conclude training by learning how to utilize recommended troubleshooting methodology and the various tools available to gather and assess system data to isolate equipment failures and security threats.
