This is the only complete, all-in-one guide to deploying, running, and troubleshooting wireless networks with Cisco® Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) and Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP)/Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP). Authored by two of the most experienced Cisco wireless support professionals, the book
presents start-to-finish coverage of implementing WLCs in existing wired and wireless network environments, troubleshooting design-related issues, and using LWAPP/CAPWAP solutions to achieve your specific business and technical goals.
One step at a time, you’ll walk through designing, configuring, maintaining, and scaling wireless networks using Cisco Unified Wireless technologies. The authors show how to use LWAPP/CAPWAP to control multiple Wi-Fi wireless access points at once, streamlining network administration and monitoring and maximizing scalability.
Drawing on their extensive problem-resolution experience, the authors also provide expert guidelines for troubleshooting, including an end-to-end problem-solving model available in no other book.
Although not specifically designed to help you pass the CCIE® Wireless written and lab exams, this book does provide you with real-world configuration and troubleshooting examples. Understanding the basic configuration practices, how the products are designed to function, the feature sets, and what to look for while troubleshooting these features will be invaluable to anyone wanting to pass the CCIE Wireless exams.

Customer Reviews & Comments
Over the past year I have been studying/working towards my CCIE Wireless so I have read a lot of the different books out there and this is by far the best book out there. That being said of course there are not that many options to begin with, other than plenty of white papers and highly technical Cisco docs. This book is a very easy and quick read for anyone having worked with the Cisco Unified Wireless equipment. I've found myself on a few instances opening up the book to refresh myself on certain configuration examples when running into issues.
I passed my CCIE Written before this book was published but have used it as a study guide for the CCNP-Wireless which I have one exam left. Without breaking the NDA rules I can say this is a great study material for all the certification series. While the CCNA Wireless book is a great intro I find this book more relevant and in depth to the test blueprints and will help you pass the exams.
Now if we could just get a CCIE-Wireless Lab Guide to study off of I'd be all set!
