WLFNDU - Understanding Cisco Wireless Foundations

Introdução

The Understanding Cisco Wireless Foundations (WLFNDU) training teaches you the knowledge and skills you need to configure, manage, and troubleshoot a Cisco wireless LAN (WLAN) network. Topics include understanding critical aspects of RF technology, industry standards for Wi-Fi and security, how to design, install, and configure a WLAN network of any size, and using Cisco DNA Center. Is a five-day ILT course that teaches you the knowledge and skills necessary to position, plan, implement, operate, and manage a Cisco wireless LAN (WLAN) network. You will build your knowledge of the critical aspects of RF technology and industry standards for Wi-Fi and security and how to leverage that knowledge for the design, installation, and configuration of a WLAN network of any size. You will also learn to use Cisco DNA Center to manage and monitor Cisco Wireless Networks.

Completing this course will enable you to implement a WLAN network for your organization and give you the foundational knowledge necessary to prepare for the Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD) and lmplementing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSI) courses.

This training will help you:
- Learn the skills, technologies, and best practices needed to manage a Cisco WLAN network
- Understand and implement a Cisco wireless network architecture
- Design and implement WLAN maintenance and troubleshooting solutions

WLFNDU 2.0 is a major update of the content that was originally covered in the WLFNDU 1.0 course. The course now focuses on IOS XE wireless deployments using the Catalyst 9800 WLC. All references to the AireOS have been removed. The new hands-on labs focus solely on the IOS XE Catalyst 9800-CL WLC.
