Cisco DCWL – Deploying Cisco Wireless LANs
In this course you will learn how to plan, install, configure, troubleshoot, monitor and maintain a Cisco Wireless LAN solution.
Topics discussed during this course include pre-deployment planning considerations, configuration of autonomous, unified and FlexConnect architectures, configuration of all base features, including wireless security, the administration of the WLAN network and the maintenance and troubleshooting of wireless network issues.
This course is aimed at engineers responsible for planning, deploying and managing of enterprise WLAN using autonomous architecture and lightweight access point with controllers.
Upon completion you will know how to:
- Identify how the Cisco Unified Wireless Network solution meets the challenges of successful WLAN deployments
- Select and properly install the Cisco Unified Wireless Network hardware that is appropriate to site and use requirements
- Administer the WLAN, IEEE 802.11 security policies, and QoS appropriately to protect and optimize performance on the wireless network
- Configure and implement the key Cisco Unified Wireless Network security features to mitigate WLAN security threats
- Utilize a recommended troubleshooting methodology and the various tools available to gather and assess system data to isolate equipment failures and security threats
- Describe the mechanisms and messaging used in a Unified Wireless architecture which allow the client to change AP associations, while maintaining the current sessions and IP addressing.
- Discuss the challenges faced in providing a quality user esperience in a high density wireless network deployment scenario.
- Differentiate the operational characteristics of and implement a wireless mesh architecture.
