In this three-day class, candidates will learn how to design, implement, and maintain a basic, single channel FortiWLC-based wireless network.

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

• This course prepares candidates for the FortiWLC 8.2 Specialist exam.
• This specialization qualifies as one of the four required specializations to achieve the NSE 6 Network Security Specialist exam.

After completing this course, candidates will be able to:

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