Thank you Keith

[@ciscopete6441]

can you explain how to set up the AAA server

[@KeithBarker]

The one in PT? I can put that on my list. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@susmitamazumder8390]

Thanks Keith!!!!!

[@wirelessengineer3821]

I am a Cisco Certified CCNP Wireless Engineer but I still find the CCNA labs Keith has put together really helpful for running through Wireless setups etc and blowing off any cobwebs, if you don't use it you lose it when it comes to configuring network devices. He uses a great learning tool in the shape of Packet Tracer and builds on it with a great teaching style and really in depth subject knowledge. Keith has an excellent attitude to teaching and learning and it really shows in his relaxed style and ability to explain subject matter in easy to understand terms, keep up the good work.

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you WirelessEngineer !

[@godzab]

I am currently studying for my CCNA, and I am a huge fan of you walking through the setup prior to the objective of the lesson.

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you godzab!

[@yusa8449]

Great video. I have followed dozen of classes online and in class. Keith is second to none. His explanation is pure quality and simple to understand. Keep up the wonderful job. Please any suggestion for CCIE wireless labs

Dude - you ROCK and Showed me Learning is FUN. It has been 30 years I am try to get this and never complete it. I think you gave me the right spark to get it done. THANKS

Keith! This walkthrough was awesome. I had no clue that I could manage the WLC through packet tracer. I'm taking my CCNA exam on Tuesday and this is exactly what I needed to solidify the wireless aspect. Thank you for doing this!

Glad it helped!

[@joshsmith4998]

I had a boss at a previous job that exclusively called Cisco's Wireless Lan Controllers by the name Will-See or Will-C instead of just pronouncing W, L, C. Ever since then that's kinda how it's stuck in my head haha! Now people look at me crazy when I pronounce it that way. Thanks for the lesson, Keith

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you Josh, I love it. Maybe I will adopt that....... Will-C :)

[@scottspa74]

At 19:45 , when you said, in packet Tracer you always click off, then back on, then off because there's no OK button, I laughed, because I do the exact same thing, for the same reason. Lol.

This is ALL great stuff Keith!!! I'm going to be doing some more wireless stuff as well and needed a good refresher. Thanks !!!

Can you. Please recommend a wlc and access point to buy for practice?

[@khiz5755]

you can use EVe-ng and use virtual controller in it. Use a physical switch and a physical AP to connect to the virtual AP in EVE. Search youtube on how to do it.

[@joeydebra763]

Hi, if you want to test up to the AireOS 8.5 code you could get a second hand 2504 WLC and an x600 (1600,2600,3600) or newer AP (x700 or x800).

Sir, What is the difference between WLAN SSID & Profile Name at 1:02:02 . If they are same, why Cisco given option to save two separate names for same WLAN ?? Hope you will reply, Rest is fine & I got it. Thanks for this video.

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you for the question PRANJAL SHARMA. The SSID value is what the user sees as the WiFi name, and the profile name is internal to the WLC configuration.

I've purchased Wendell's Books and associated materials. I was unable to pass the previous CCNA before it expired - so I'm using his material to learn what has been added to the CCNA 201-300. I recommend them and think I saw they are 1/2 price recently.

[@jserr9682]

Thank you so much I have learn so much with this .... but is it possible that you could make one with the physical equipment cause, is not the same you still have to configure the CLI in the WLAcontroller something that for what i have seen you cant do on Packet Tracer, if you going to do this in real life, is not going to be the same

Keith what if its a windows server acting as a dhcp server? How does the server know which scope to use when handing out addresses to the different vlans?

Under WLC he configured ip on management interface and connected gi interafce to switch . Does that means management and Gi interface are under same vlan . Pls let me know .

[@KeithBarker]

I don't. CBT uses virtual labs that are launched from their website.

[@corneilac9761]

Thanks Keith

[@krzysztofbucko9882]

Hi Keith !. I got question about local AP. To communicate with WLC it should be connected to the same switch as WLC or this is no difference ? I'm about CAPWAP tunnel beteween WLC and Local AP.

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you for the question Kolezka Kolezki. The AP doesn't need to be in the same VLAN as the WLC. As long as they have reachability over IP to each other, that is enough to support the CAPWAP tunnel, and all the traffic they would send back and forth over that tunnel.

[@zoltron30]

My company uses Meraki equipment where we can log into a customer's Meraki equipment remotely. Is that good hands on for the new CCNA?

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you for the question zoltron30. There won't be any specific Meraki related question on the new CCNA.

[@M_H-v2v]

You are the best!

[@MichaelWeston82]

@keith barker does packet tracer support putting SSID/profiles into different VLANS separate from the management VLAN? I have racked my brain trying everything I could to move SSID's like a guest and corporate network into separate VLANS and couldn't! UGH!

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you for the question Nate D. PT does NOT do that correctly, as a real WLC would.

[@robinrohit007]

I tried this Pkt lab and i am able to do the first basic config on the WLC from the PC, both of which are connected through the multi-layer switch. but after that i am not able to reach the WLC. It awlays says Request Time Out. What should i do?

[@andreammermann4018]

Hi Keith, seems in PT Version 8.0 is a bug. If i want to connect from Laptop to WLC via IE it comes always "reset server connection"

[@nufaelnasir2988]

Can you explain the use of the management interface vlan id? What information does it tag? I understand that the SSIDs from the APs are connected to a dynamic interface and tagged that way.

[@KeithBarker]

Thank you for the question Nufael Nasir. The WLC in a real environment will be connected to a switch, via a trunk port on the switch. Which ever VLAN you want to used for the Managment interface, that is when it would be used, as the tag associated with the Mgmt interface. You would use different VLANs (other than the mgmt vlans) for the dynamic IPs and their VLANs associated with the WLANs (SSIDs).

[@nufaelnasir2988]
