UCAD – UC Architecture and Design v8.0

Avoid design disasters by exploring the breadth of technical issues involved in designing modern Unified Communications (UC) networks. Once you apply a consistent set of analytical tools, best practices, and design methodology to the complex set of requirements and problems involved in these systems, the full potential for a stable, scalable, and feature-rich UC system can be realized.

This course consists of both lecture and self-study components. Our virtual classroom course challenges you to apply the design skills learned in the lecture to your own networks and projects. Each day consists of a four-hour lecture followed by flexible self-study time. Each morning begins with a question-and-answer period to follow-up on previous self-study exercises.

WDBWL – Deploying Cisco Basic Wireless LANs v1.2

In this course, you will learn the basics of how to install, configure, operate, and maintain a wireless network, both as an add-on to an existing wireless LAN (WLAN) and as a new Cisco Unified Wireless Networking solution.

This course will build on WLAN terms, concepts, protocols, architecture, and characteristics introduced in the Defining Cisco Wireless LAN Essentials (WLE) e-learning course. In this course you will investigate the components, features, and deployment aspects of the system. You will have the opportunity to reinforce what you learn with hands-on labs. This course focuses on the essential network elements of a WLAN: the access points (APs) and wireless LAN controllers (WLCs).

This course provides high-level information about the optional but recommended network management and services appliance components of a Cisco Unified Wireless Network-the Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI) and Mobility Services Engine (MSE)-but does not provide hands-on labs and in-depth coverage of these components. The Cisco management platform and MSE are covered in more depth in a separate course: Managing Cisco Wireless Networks with Prime Infrastructure (MWNPI).
