COURSE INFORMATION
Introduction to 802.1X Operations for Cisco Security Professionals Overview:
The Introduction to 802.1X Operations for Cisco Security Professionals (802.1X) training course is designed to prepare you with the knowledge and hands-on experience to configure Cisco TrustSec solutions based on Cisco Identity Services Module, Cisco Catalyst Switches, and Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers.
The goal of the course is to provide you with foundational knowledge in the capabilities and functions of the IEEE 802.1X protocol and the ability to configure the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) for 802.1X operation. The course introduces the architecture, components, and features of a Cisco TrustSec network designed around the IEEE 802.1X and RADIUS protocols.
You will gain hands-on experience with configuring a network for 802.1X-based network services using the Cisco ISE, Cisco Catalyst switches, and Cisco wireless products.
This course is a prerequisite for Cisco Channel Partners to attend the newly-developed 5-day Implementing Cisco Identity Services Engine Secure Solutions (ISE) v1.0 course. Only certified ATPs (Authorized Technology Partners) can sell ISE/802.1x Cisco solutions at this time.
