CE00672-7 Wireless Networks
The module is based on students being able to progress towards being prepared for the CISCO Wireless LAN Support Specialist designation, which is an internationally recognised qualification.
Students will be able to design a logical wireless LAN architecture for mobile wireless users in compliance with 802.11 IEEE standards and demonstrate knowledge in WLAN applications as they relate to EM spectrum, radio wave propagation, modulation techniques, and frequency and channel usage in wireless technologies.
The module covers installation of in-building and building-to-building wireless LANs with Cisco devices that meet mobility and throughput specifications including the site survey and documentation.
Perform hardware setup and software configuration of Cisco Aironet APs and antennas for Ethernet/Radio ports, and services.
Students learn to perform hardware setup and software configuration of Cisco Aironet equipment for Ethernet/Radio ports and services specific to the WLAN needs for Access Points, Bridges, Repeater, and Site Survey Client functionality.
They also learn how to upgrade and distribute firmware on Cisco wireless products throughout a WLAN and identify, define features of, and install, directional and omnidirectional antennas in both building-to-building and in-building WLANs.
The course covers the design and setup of WLAN security using WEP, Cisco LEAP and 802.1x protocols and how to troubleshoot WLAN performance issues using event loggings, command line utilities, and diagnostic tools.
Prior study of modules incorporating CCNA1-4 content or equivalent or have passed the CCNA qualification is required.
