In this three-day class, you will learn how to design, implement, and maintain a basic FortiWLC-based wireless network. The practical labs will give you hands on experience in configuration, management, and monitoring of the wireless network.

After completing these courses, you will be able to:

• Plan a simple, single channel wireless network for a low-to-medium density client environment.
• Plan a simple, multiple channel wireless network for a low-to-medium density client environment.
• Deploy a controller to an access point and integrate with the underlying wired network.
• Publish encrypted and guest wireless networks for use by your users.
• Monitor and assess your wireless networks health and capacity.
• Perform basic troubleshooting of client connectivity.
• Perform day-to-day management of your wireless network.

A good understanding of wired and wireless technology and concepts is required to benefit from this course, such as:

• TCP/IP network experience.
• Knowledge of OSI layers.
• Experience with multichannel-wireless networks.
• Experience planning a wireless network with a simulation tool.
