CCNP Wireless

[Josh Harsin]

I'm starting the path to CCNP Wireless. The test has recently been revamped and like a lot of new Cisco Certification tracks the test comes out before a decent amount of material. What would someone suggest to start this process while there is not a lot of material ?

thanks!

Hi 

Read exam objectives then study those topics. It's good to find multiple sources for each object to get perspective 

Read respected design guides. 

Also Jerome Henery has CCNP wireless books which are great, but not your typic Cisco press size book.

Hi Josh,

If you haven't take CWNA,I would suggest you to go through that study guide & cover the basics of wireless in general.

Then try to setup a small home lab with 1 or 2 WLC & few APs to gets hands on experience while studying for your CCNP wireless.

Even current CCNP wireless /CCIE wireless blueprints are 3-4 years old. This means those are due for another refresh within 1-2 years. So getting wireless fundamentals right is the most important thing on this journey.

Here is some of my notes which may useful to you in long run (if you want to be CCIE wireless or CWNE)

CCNP Wireless certification addresses the need for designing, implementing, and operating Cisco Wireless networks and mobility infrastructures. CCNP Wireless certification emphasizes wireless networking principles and theory. It also recognizes the expertise and technical acumen of wireless professionals who can assess and translate network business requirements into technical specifications that in turn, are incorporated into successful installations.
