WMNGI Training

WMNGI v1.2 (Managing Cisco Wireless LANs) Training is a four-day instructor-led course designed to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot Cisco Unified Wireless Network devices using Cisco Prime NCS.

This course is designed to prepare students to use the Cisco Unified Wireless Network management products and applications to configure, administer, manage, troubleshoot, and optimize the network. In this Cisco wireless training course, students will learn to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot Cisco Unified Wireless Network devices using Cisco Prime NCS and to configure, administer, manage, and troubleshoot guest access and mobility services. Students will learn how to integrate Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) with Cisco NCS, and after a quick overview of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network management products and applications, students will learn how to install high availability and firewall support for Cisco NCS. Students will discover how to give users the appropriate permissions and restrictions for using Cisco NCS, and investigate how to use Cisco NCS to configure components and services for your network. Fundamental precepts include a general network management experience, basic understanding of RF and networking principles, and an understanding of Cisco Lifecycle Services.
