This course instructs you on how to use the Cisco Unified Wireless Network (CUWN) management products and applications to configure, administer, manage, troubleshoot, and optimize the network. This course provides hands-on labs that cover controller firmware release 7.5 MR1 as well as Cisco Prime Infrastructure software release 1.4. All labs are accessed remotely using real Cisco gear. The class begins with a high-level overview of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI) product line, including product functions, components, capabilities, and features. You will learn where to locate installation procedures for both the access point (AP) and their associated Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) and properly install the PI hardware appropriate to site and use requirements. 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 PI security features to mitigate WLAN security threats. You will conclude training by learning how to utilize recommended troubleshooting methodology and the various tools available to gather and assess system data to isolate equipment failures and security threats. For the classroom ILT version of this course, laptops are provided to participate in the hands-on labs. If you 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. The laptop's operating systems must be Windows XP (SP3). If your operating system is Windows Vista or Windows 7, include a Terminal Emulator such as HyperTerminal. In addition, if your laptop does not contain Terminal Emulation, you will need administrator rights to the laptop to install software.
