Implementing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSI)

The Implementing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSI) training helps you implement network settings to provide a secure wireless network infrastructure and troubleshoot any related issues. This training will prepare you to use Cisco Identity Service Engine (ISE), Cisco Prime Infrastructure (PI), Cisco DNA Center, Cisco Spaces, and Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences (CMX) to monitor and troubleshoot network issues. The associated labs will reinforce concepts including deploying Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controller Release IOS XE Bengaluru 17.6.3, Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) Center Release 2.3.3, Cisco PI Release 3.5, Cisco Spaces, Cisco CMX Release 10.5, features, and Cisco ISE Release 3.0.
