Course Description
The Implementing Cisco Unified Wireless Networking Essentials is a 5 day ILT course, designed to help you prepare for the CCNA Wireless Certification, an associate-level certification specializing in the wireless field. The IUWNE course is a prerequisite to the CCNP Wireless (Cisco Certified Wireless Professional) curriculum. The CCNP Wireless curriculum will prepare you for the use, positioning, planning, implementation and operation of Cisco WLAN networks.
Agenda
The goal of the IUWNE v2.0 is to provide you with information and practice activities to prepare you to help design, install, configure, monitor and conduct basic troubleshooting tasks of a Cisco WLAN in SMB and Enterprise installations.
This associate-level course aims at providing entry level instruction, including WLAN Fundamentals, hands-on practice setting up a Cisco WLAN including APs and WLAN Controllers, setting up and configuring wireless clients, implementing WLAN Security and operating Cisco WCS.
For more advanced technical training on enterprise Cisco Wireless networking, explore one of the CCNP Wireless courses: Implementing Cisco Unified Wireless Mobility Services Version 2.0 (IUWMS), Implementing Cisco Unified Wireless Voice Networks (IUWVN), Implementing Advanced Cisco Unified Wireless Security Version 2.0 (IAUWS), Conducting Cisco Unified Wireless Site Survey Version 2.0 (CUWSS)
