Course Content

This 5-day boot camp combines the Cisco Wireless Mesh Network (CWMN) course and the Designing Cisco RF Networks (DRFN) course. In one week of intense training, students will learn how to design, install, and maintain a wireless mesh network as well as select, connect, configure, and troubleshoot Cisco components of their wireless mesh network. In an in-class case study, they will gain experience designing the RF network for a sample mesh-served community, engineering the client access layer, the mesh layer, and the backhaul layer.
