Getting There with Wireless Mobility and Roaming is a professional-level course designed for Wi-Fi engineers seeking to deepen their understanding of seamless client mobility in enterprise environments. With a focus on Cisco Access Points and Catalyst 9800 Wireless LAN Controllers, this course goes deep into Wi-Fi roaming theory and optimization techniques. It also includes lab demonstrations and packet capture analysis to show how clients discover, authenticate, and transition between APs. Learners explore key concepts, including Layer 2 vs. Layer 3 roaming, mobility groups and tunnels, fast secure roaming mechanisms (such as 802.11r, OKC, 802.11v, and legacy methods), as well as monitoring tools and best practices for optimizing performance. Through detailed explanations, lab demonstrations, and detailed packet captures, participants gain the expertise needed to implement and analyze roaming in Cisco-based wireless networks.
