Scalable WLAN Design and Implementation (SWDI) 8 Certificate, best Practice Tests for Scalable WLAN Design and Implementation (SWDI) 8 Certification 2021.
Course description
This course teaches the knowledge, skills and practical experience
required to set up and configure advanced features on Aruba WLAN
utilizing the AOS 8.X architecture and features. This course includes
lectures and labs which provide the technical understanding and
hands-on experience of configuring a redundant Mobility Master with
two controllers and two APs. Participants will learn how install a
redundant Aruba WLAN network with clustering while using many
features like Multizone for guest access, voice optimization and
tunneled node. This course includes the AirWave management system
and troubleshooting commands. The SWDI course provides the
underlying material required to prepare candidates for the Aruba
Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP) V8 certification exam.
Ideal candidate for this course
Typical candidates for this course are IT professionals who deploy
Aruba WLAN with advanced features and individuals who need a
basic understanding of AirWave.
