Learn to design, manage, and troubleshoot enterprise wireless networks using the Cisco Unified Wireless Network. This course includes instructor-led training and in-depth instructor assisted, hands-on labs. The course focuses on advanced WLAN design, integrating Cisco wireless components into a wired infrastructure. Deployment topics include managing the WLAN by using the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) to manage advanced features. Security topics focus on integrating WLAN security using the WLAN controllers and controller-based access points in conjunction with the Cisco Secure ACS, and Network Admission Control (NAC).
