Course Overview

The Implementing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks course gives you the knowledge and skills needed to implement a secure wireless network infrastructure and troubleshoot any related issues. You’ll learn how to implement and secure a wireless network infrastructure and use Cisco Identity Service Engine (ISE), Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI), Cisco DNA Center, Cisco Spaces and Cisco Connect Mobile Experience to monitor and troubleshoot network issues.

The course provides hands-on labs to reinforce concepts including deploying Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controller Release IOS XE Bengaluru 17.6.3, Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) Center Release 2.3.3, Cisco Prime Infrastructure Release 3.5, Cisco Spaces, Cisco CMX Release 10.5 and Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) Release 3.0.

This course also helps you prepare to take the Implementing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (300-430 ENWLSI) exam, which is part of the CCNP Enterprise certification. Passing the exam will also provide you with the Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Wireless Implementation certification.

This course is worth 40 Continuing Education (CE) Credits
