Course Description
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 7.0 MR1 as well as Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) software release 1.0. All labs are hands-on labs via remote access, using real Cisco gear.
In this course, you will learn configure, monitor, and troubleshoot Cisco Unified Wireless Network devices using Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS). You will also learn how to configure, administer,
manage, and troubleshoot guest access and mobility services. Finally, you will learn how to integrate Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) with Cisco NCS. After a quick overview of the Cisco Unified Wireless
Network management products and applications, you will learn how to install high availability and firewall support for Cisco NCS. You will also learn how to give users the appropriate permissions and restrictions for using Cisco NCS. Then you will investigate how to use Cisco NCS to configure components and services for your network. Hands-on labs will help ensure you understand how to use the Cisco Unified Wireless Network management solutions.
