Once logged into the wireless controller, creating a WLAN is very simple. Configuring the WLAN’s setting is where it can become difficult. Creating the WLAN is as easy as entering one command in configuration mode. That command is the wlan command. In this blog I will be covering some basic commands for you to create and configure some general properties of a Wireless network.

I recently completed my Ekahau Design training and certification. During the first day of class the instructor went over wireless fundamentals. Now as an experienced wireless engineer most of the topics were ideas that I had already known, however there were a few idea's that changed the way I understand wireless for the better. Lets walk though each of these idea's together!

Hi People, welcome to another exciting edition of my blog. Today I will be covering IOS best practices (some of them at least). While these will be specific to Cisco IOS they’re also applicable to other types of Cisco devices. You’ll also find many of these best practices are also seen on IOS-XE/NX-OS platforms, however the syntax may differ (please verify before attempting to apply).

Wireless networking is now considered a must have in nearly all industries. It’s no surprise I get a lot of comments from clients who believe they are experiencing wireless trouble in some form or fashion. They aren’t sure if it’s related to wireless controller configuration, AP placement, coverage gaps, interference, or even client machine problems. Even though Wi-Fi is nearly as prevalent as...

A few months of ago I was asked to help bring up a branch site for one of LookingPoint’s clients.   This was unscheduled work and it was the first time I encountered Cisco’s Mobility Express. My previous projects have been enterprise deployments either using the traditional WLC or Meraki’s cloud managed APs. With Mobility Express, Cisco allows an AP to run as a wireless controller. Starting with...
