Course Description

The upgrade from version 7.0 to 7.1 brings several notable changes to this course. You'll find an expanded CleanAir section that covers ClientLink, H-REAP, VoWLAN, BandSelect, VideoStream, Scheduled Access, Guest Access, Location-Based Context-Aware services, and RRM.

In this wireless networking class, you will learn to successfully deploy a Cisco Unified Wireless Network (CUWN) solution.

After a high-level overview of the CUWN, including function, components, capabilities, and features, you will learn to install the access point (AP), associated Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs), and other CUWN hardware. 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 CUWN security features to mitigate WLAN security threats, and you will learn how to use troubleshooting methodology and tools to gather and assess system data to isolate equipment failures and security threats.

In hands-on labs, you will learn to perform initial controller configuration using the CLI and GUI, provision APs in various options, and examine AP behaviors in those configurations. You will explore setting up interface groups to allow VLAN pooling and setting up a WLAN with web authentication as the security policy. You will also learn to configure the wireless client for WPA2 using the PEAP-MS-CHAPv2 option, perform a pre-image download to pre-load a new controller firmware image into your AP, and create a secured WLAN on the controller using EAP-FAST for authentication based on local EAP and WPA/WPA2 for encryption.
