Cisco Wireless LAN Advanced Topics V2 (CWLAT) — A 4-day Course
Synopsis
The 4-day CWLAT course is hands-on training designed to give delegates a firm understanding of the components, features and proper deployment of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network. 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 the advanced feature set and using the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solutions Engine (WLSE) to manage the core feature set. Security topics focus on integrating WLAN security using the WLAN controllers and lightweight access points as well as the autonomous access points in conjunction with the Cisco Secure ACS, and Network Access Controller (NAC). Security also includes Cisco WCS and CiscoWorks WLSE Intrusion Detection Systems. Troubleshooting the WLAN is also included.
