Cisco® Designing Cisco® Enterprise Wireless Network (ENWLSD) v2.0

Instructor-Led 15 Agenda

Description

ENWLSD 2.0 updates the course to the latest version of Cisco WLC, the Cisco 9800. Updates were also done to APs, to introduce the newest APs from Cisco. Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) is expanded, and Wi-Fi 6E (6 GHz) is expanded. WPA3 is covered in more details. Design has been updated to latest best practices and design guidelines. Ekahau screenshots have been updated to the latest software version.
