Overview
In this course, you will learn how to troubleshoot Cisco wireless networks. In addition, you will learn about the guidelines for troubleshooting Wi-Fi architectures of Cisco wireless components. Hands-on labs are designed to reinforce concepts such as troubleshooting Cisco AireOS Release 8.0, Cisco Prime Infrastructure Release 2.2, and Cisco Identity Services Engine (Cisco ISE) Release 1.3 features.
Cisco CCNP Wireless certification addresses the need for designing, implementing, and operating Cisco Wireless networks and mobility infrastructures. CCNP Wireless certification emphasizes wireless networking principles and theory.
Note: For the classroom version of this course, laptops are provided to participate in the hands-on labs. If you are attending the virtual version or desire to use your own laptop, please bring a laptop computer with an Ethernet port as well as an internal wireless NIC, 802.11a/b/g/n. Access to the remote labs requires a browser that supports Java and permissions to open RDP or encrypted (RDP443) RDP sessions. If your browser does not support Java, you will need administrator rights to the laptop to install the software.
