The only authorized Lab Companion for the Cisco Networking Academy Program
Many of the book features help facilitate a full understanding of wireless LANs by:
Stating the objectives that will be accomplished in each lab. Providing you with scenario overviews that relate the labs to real-world experiences. Providing the network topology designs that will be required to complete the lab. Detailing any preparation and setup that will be necessary before beginning the steps listed in each lab. Listing any tools or outside resources that are needed or are helpful to the completion of each lab. Asking questions within the labs that elicit particular points of understanding and that verify your comprehension of the technology being implemented.
This convenient Lab Companion provides you with the complete collection of lab exercises specifically written to accompany the Fundamentals of Wireless LANs web-based course in the Cisco Networking Academy Program.
The labs give you hands-on experience and a thorough introduction to wireless technologies and concepts. They are grouped according to topics corresponding to the chapters in the Cisco Networking Academy Program Fundamentals of Wireless LANs Companion Guide.
This Lab Companion contains 57 labs allowing you ample opportunities to connect theory with practice. Most of the labs are hands-on and require access to a Cisco lab or a simulator. Additional paper-based labs, which are practice exercises for complex topics, are included to supplement the online course. All are designed with real-world examples to give you practical experience.
Step-by-step instructions walk you through the methods necessary to successfully complete each lab, making this Lab Companion a valuable reference you can use on the job.

The demand for wireless courses that prepare students for wireless certification and the core knowledge of wireless equipment and technology has grown significantly within the past year. The Cisco Networking Academy Program is meeting this demand with its new online course that is launching in July 2003. The Fundamentals of Wireless LANs course will cover the basics of wireless LANs as well as prepare the student for the Cisco Wireless LAN Support Specialist designation. The Lab Companion will supplement the online curriculum for a fully integrated learning package. The lab manual provides exercises that cover wireless networking technologies, both fixed and mobile, terrestrial and satellite, wireless LANs, and wireless last loops. The next section focuses on wireless clients, access points, and the corresponding Cisco Aironet products. The last section of the title pulls together the information in the previous sections and covers the entire process of designing, planning, and installing a wireless LAN. The activities contained in the lab manual reinforce the concepts presented in the online curriculum and the Companion Guide.
