FAQs

What will you learn in this Cisco high availability training?

This course covers how to configure wireless LAN controllers and their downline access points to be optimized for high availability. The wireless LAN controller (WLC) and access points (AP) work alongside one another to provide network access to devices looking for the network, and properly configured you can guarantee highly available access.

Who should take this wireless LAN controller and access point configuration course?

Network administrators and network engineers working with Cisco should take this course, as well as wireless network technicians who need to help maintain a wireless network.

Very easy and fun way to learn. Keith Barker is my favorite, he'll throw in jokes here and there and it makes me remember certain study points. I highly recommend this app and purchasing subscriptions, it is truly worth the money.

Practice exams help you have an overview of your readiness. If you have failed a couple questions in one area, you can go back and work on them.
