Cisco DESGN 2.1: Design Considerations for Basic Wireless Networking

Course details

In order to design wireless networks it is important to have an understanding of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network architecture and wireless design principles in order to have the necessary guidelines for successful wireless network design. This course reviews the Cisco Unified Wireless Network including the fundamental architectural concepts and deployment considerations necessary to design a basic Cisco Unified Wireless Network solution. The course also describes wireless networks using controllers; It explains how access points and controllers integrate into enterprise network. The course concludes with useful guidelines for designing wireless networks with controllers for enterprise environments.
