HP Wireless Installation and Administration Professional Training
<b>Course overview</b>
This 2-day class discusses the theory and operation of the HP Wireless Switching System, wireless switch (WX) and managed access point (AP) deployment, and the configuration of wireless services and roaming functionality. Step-by-step hands-on lab exercises guide students through some of the most useful configurations including how to deploy open and encrypted wireless services and simulate roaming. Students work in teams to build networks that will simulate real-world network situations.
