Description
Duration: 7 days
Cisco Certified Network Associate Wireless (CCNA Wireless) validates associate-level knowledge and skills to configure, implement, and support of wireless LANs, specifically those networks using Cisco equipment. With a CCNA Wireless certification, network professionals can support a basic wireless network on a Cisco WLAN in an SMB to enterprise network. The CCNA Wireless curriculum includes information and practice activities to prepare them for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting basic tasks of a Cisco WLAN in SMB and Enterprise networks.
The Implementing Cisco Unified Wireless Networking Essentials is a 5-day ILT course, designed to help students prepare for the IUWNE certification, an associate-level certification specializing in the wireless field. The goal of the course is to provide students with information and practice activities to prepare them to help design, install, configure, monitor, and conduct basic troubleshooting tasks of a Cisco WLAN in Enterprise installations.
This course prepares students for Cisco Exam 200-355 Implementing Cisco Wireless Networking Essentials (WIFUND).

Curriculum
Describe WLAN fundamentals
• Describe basics of spread spectrum technology
• Describe the impact of various wireless technologies (Bluetooth, WiMAX, ZigBee, and cordless phone)
• Describe wireless regulatory bodies, standards, and certifications (FCC, ETSI, 802.11a/b/g/n, and WiFi Alliance)
• Describe Wireless LAN (WLAN) RF principles (antenna types, RF gain/loss, Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP), refraction, reflection, and so on)
• Describe networking technologies used in wireless (SSID to WLAN_ID to Interface to VLAN, 802.1q trunking)
• Describe wireless topologies, such as Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS), Basic Service Set (BSS), Extended Service Set (ESS), Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint, Mesh, and bridging)
• Describe 802.11 authentication and encryption methods (Open, Shared, 802.1X, EAP, TKIP, and AES)
• Describe frame types (associated and unassociated, management, control, and data)
• Describe basic RF deployment considerations related to site survey design of data or VoWLAN applications, common RF interference sources such as devices, building material, AP location, and basic RF site survey design related to channel reuse, signal strength, and cell overlap
