Duration: 5 Days
In this course, you will prepare for the CCNP Wireless certification, a professional-level certification specializing in the wireless field. Through hands-on labs, you will develop a firm understanding of how to integrate Voice over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN) services into the WLAN and learn to implement QoS, MPLS, and high-bandwidth applications into the wireless network.
Laptops are provided to participate in the labs. If you'd rather use your own laptop, please ensure the laptop has available 32-bit CardBus slot, an Ethernet port, and an internal wireless NIC, 802.11a/b/g. The operating system must be MS Windows 2000 (SP4) or XP and the laptop should have a 9-pin serial port or USB-to-serial adapter. You will need administrator rights to the laptop to install drivers for the wireless client used in class.
