FortiWLC - Fortinet Wireless Controller

In this three days class, you will learn how to design, implement, and maintain a basic FortiWLC-based wireless network.

The practical labs will give you hands on experience in configuration, management, and monitoring of the wireless network.

After completing this course, candidates will be able to:

• Plan a simple, single channel wireless network for a low-to-medium density client environment.
• Plan a simple, multiple channel wireless network for a low-to-medium density client environment.
• Deploy a controller to an access point and integrate with the underlying wired network.
• Publish encrypted and guest wireless networks for use by your users.
• Monitor and assess your wireless networks health and capacity.
• Perform basic troubleshooting of client connectivity.
• Perform day-to-day management of your wireless network.
