Overview

WLAN Technology is one of the most effective IT tools there is to establish a competitive advantage for your company, and GlobalNet Training's exclusive Cisco® Wireless Mesh/Mobility Integration training course; developed and taught by industry expert Todd Lammle; will arm you with the necessary knowledge and required elements to successfully deploy a WLAN mobile and Mesh network. Cisco® advanced Wireless integration extends the enterprise and expands the productivity zone by allowing employees to stay connected to their corporate networks for a larger percentage of time each day.

During this four day course, students will learn — hands-on — how the new Wireless Mesh/Mobility solutions from Cisco® go beyond the 802.11 frequency spectrum, and provide seamless connectivity from your indoor wireless network, to an outdoor wireless solution. Whether mesh or routed, you’ll know how to solidly stay connected to your corporate or private network.

Students will gain extensive hands-on training experience utilizing the new compact high-performance Cisco® 3200 Mobile Access Router (MAR), using unbounded media (2.4 and 4.9Ghz), plus, the Cisco® outdoor mesh solution using 1505/1520 managed access points, and the managed indoor 1242 product using Cisco® controllers and WCS.

During the more than 25 Hands-on extensive labs, students will learn how the 1500 outdoor mesh AP and 3200 Cisco® router is ideally suited for integration in outdoor and mobile vehicles. They will leave this class with a working understanding of how it offers secure data, voice and video communications, as well as seamless mobility interoperability across multiple wireless networks in a secure environment.

By employing the Cisco® Unified Wireless Network solution, plus the capabilities of secure, scalable, cost-effective WLANs, people will come to not only understand, but be very excited about gaining the ease of maintaining a very competitive advantage through the freedom and flexibility of wireless networks!

1. Physically build a Mobile network using the equipment/diagram provided from your instructor, and as shown below.

2. Build an IP scheme for the network and implement this network
3. Add Mobile IP and the commands needed for roaming
4. Successfully roam between networks, and configure the network for optimal roaming using SNMP and other various commands
5. Configure basic security for the WLAN network using WPA, Radius, AAA and LEAP
6. Create a Cisco® Unified Wireless Network and by using the Universal Workgroup Bridge, connect a roaming 3200 router.
7. Configure, analyze and troubleshoot a VPN with IPSec connection between the MAR and the Home Agent over both the mesh network and the 802.11 network.

NOTE: The course objectives are subject to change at any time! The cellular network is not available in this version of the course and will be added at a future date as provided by Cisco®.

Cisco® Mesh/Mobility Interoperability Course Outline

The following outline is an approximate breakdown of 1500/3200 Integration 4-Day Boot Camp, developed by industry expert Todd Lammle. GlobalNet Training believes in the necessity of lab repetition to help build solid networking skills. In addition, multiple routers, switches and other wireless devices per student (less sharing of equipment) are utilized. GlobalNet Training offers more hands-on and written labs than any other IT training company in the industry. The course will run Tuesday — Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 PM, with Friday ending at approximately 1:00 PM.
