Exam Content Breakdown
Based on the official Cisco content outline
RF propagation (reflection, refraction, diffraction, scattering, multipath), RF measurements (RSSI, transmit power, RX sensitivity, interference, noise, rogue AP, SNR), RF math (dBm/mW, FSPL, EIRP, link budget, Fresnel zone), and antenna characteristics (gain in dBi/dBd, beamwidth, polarization).
Wi-Fi governance (regulatory bodies such as FCC, ETSI; IEEE; Wi-Fi Alliance), channel and power per regulatory domain, 802.11 fundamentals (modulation including 4K-QAM, channel widths up to 320 MHz, MIMO/MU-MIMO/MLO, BSS/ESS/IBSS/MBSS topologies, frame types).
Cisco wireless architectures (Fabric/SD-Access, Mesh, Local mode, Cloud-managed), physical infrastructure (PoE classes, mGig uplinks, antenna mounting), AP/WLC/dashboard management with Catalyst 9800-CL/L/40/80, IOS-XE Wireless tags, and migration from AireOS.
Initial WLC setup, AP discovery and join (DHCP option 43, DNS, broadcast, OTAP, primed controllers), CAPWAP control/data, AP modes (Local, FlexConnect, Bridge/Mesh, Sniffer, Sensor, Monitor, SE-Connect), WLAN access for clients, and client management policies through WLC, Catalyst Center, ISE, Cisco Spaces, and MDM.
Authentication mechanisms outside the controller (RADIUS, ISE 802.1X/MAB, certificates, MDM), WLAN authentication on the controller (WPA2/WPA3-Personal, WPA3-Enterprise, WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit, OWE, iPSK, MAC filtering, Web Auth LWA/CWA), client connectivity in macOS/Windows/iOS/Android/Linux, fast roaming (802.11r FT, OKC, PMK caching, 802.11k/v/w), and guest networking via anchor mobility.
Wireless network maintenance, client monitoring, troubleshooting client connectivity (Client 360, Path Trace, embedded packet capture, show wireless client mac-address detail), and device/platform integrations with Catalyst Center Assurance, Cisco Spaces (Connector and direct cloud), ISE pxGrid, and MDM/UEM (Intune, Jamf, Workspace ONE).
Python basics for network automation, NETCONF over SSH (TCP 830) and RESTCONF over HTTPS, YANG models (Cisco-IOS-XE-wireless-*), wireless infrastructure APIs on the Catalyst 9800 and Catalyst Center Intent APIs, AI Network Analytics, and AI-Enhanced RRM (AI-RRM) for channel/power optimization.
