Course Description

Welcome to Cisco WLC 9800 Install Admin Configuration and Tshoot Fundamentals course. You will learn how to install, manage,  configure and troubleshoot Cisco's latest Wireless Lan Controller 9800-CL.


First of all, we will learn how to download and install VMware Workstation Pro, after that we will go over the steps of how to install WLC 9800-CL and we will introduce ourselves with its GUI then we will learn how to configure WLC 9800 Ethernet Ports. After these introductory chapters, we will learn how to create a location and add a PSK WLAN on WLC 9800. We will continue learning to provision an AP on WLC 9800 and how to connect with a client. We will end this WLAN configuration section with adding a new WLAN with 802.1x Flexconnect options. Next section will start with location configuration and ap provisioning with different options and we will continue while creating policies and tags for flex location. AP switchport configuration and ssh configuration on APs will be the last part of this section. Next, we will focus on WLC configuration such as SNMP, managing via CLI and VLANs. After going over general configuration steps, we will deal with policies on our WLC. We will configure 802.1X policy tags and profiles and then we will create policy tags on APs. In the last sections, we will learn more about packet captures and troubleshooting steps. Configuring packet captures on our WLC and investigating those captures and traces will be our main goal. We will finish the course with two cases that are focusing on different troubleshooting steps on WLAN SSIDs.

At least you are the first person trying to create a course on Cisco Wireless, This subject area isn't touched like other Cisco subjects. Thanks for your effort to cover all aspects of the WLC GUI.

By Anonymized User on 5/6/2025

Es un excelente instructor y su explicación es muy clara. Me gustaría que haya profundizado en los detalles de cada herramienta, pero la explicación a groso modo ha sido buena.

By Thabo Tofile on 12/29/2024

So far the course content is presented in a way that I can do configs on the VM platform and learn more about WLC and this will also allow upskilling myself.

By Gerald Thomas on 8/28/2024

Great examples from the initial install and configuration of Cisco 9800 controller. Like having the lab training to allow me to really learn the wireless setup and configurtion.

By Jazbe Razvi on 8/20/2024

Training missed on some parts to elaborate the configuration. Example, there could have been a detailed topic on adding and configuring a AAA authentication server. There is just a small part of it troubleshoot section.

By Jason S Oliver on 1/3/2024

Good course to keep in your tool chest. I was looking for courses to go over the 9800 series and this one was a good starting point. There are deeper and longer courses on the site as well that I will check out.

By Samiullah on 11/26/2023

As i am expecting some deep explanation and it could be better. Hoping the same with advance configuration and T-shooting in future course. Sorry to say but It is not much informative for me.

By Aparna Wagale on 11/24/2022

The instructor is easy to understand, and presents the information clearly. It's far above some of the other courses I've seen on wireless and different lab based courses. Labs were a great plus

By Mohammed Sinan on 10/8/2022

Very engaging and the delivery of each topic was very well understandable. Very well structured as well in terms of the units and how they all come together,

By Anthony Ceraolo on 5/4/2022

Yes, good match to learn WLC9800 and the course was more detailed than I expected. The accent is clear and examples are plenty. Please do more courses,
