Overview/Description
The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is an optional network component that works in conjunction with lightweight access points (APs), controllers, and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance. With Cisco WCS, network administrators have a single interface for managing the wireless network. This course introduces the Cisco WCS and the Cisco WCS Navigator and explains the installation and administration of WCS. It also covers the hardware requirements for WCS and describes related licensing procedures. This course maps to the 640-721, Implementing Cisco Unified Wireless Networking Essentials (IUWNE), exam objectives for describing the key features of WCS and Navigator (versions and licensing); and installing/upgrading WCS and configuring basic administration parameters (ports, O/S version, strong passwords, service vs. application).
