Complete preparation for CCNP Wireless

WLCOR 350-101: Complete Learning Guide.

An independent, unofficial study guide for the Cisco WLCOR 350-101 exam, the core exam of the CCNP Wireless track.

Every topic is built from first principles, so you understand how enterprise wireless actually works and the reasoning behind each answer becomes obvious.

The book covers all seven exam domains in 30 sub-sections: RF fundamentals, 802.11 technology, wireless implementation, wireless operation, client connectivity, monitoring and management, and automation and AI.

You will find complete Catalyst 9800 configurations for day-zero setup, tags, AP join, AAA and CoA, WPA3, OWE, iPSK, FlexConnect, 802.11r/k/v roaming, mobility groups, central web authentication and DMZ guest anchors, together with ISE, Meraki Dashboard, Catalyst Center, Python, NETCONF and RESTCONF examples.

The guide contains 70 original diagrams, an RF maths practice set, and 150 knowledge check questions with fully explained answers. Every sub-section ends with a written summary, key takeaways and a five-question knowledge check.

Twelve field scenarios read like real tickets and are solved the way an experienced engineer would solve them, from APs that won't join and a crawling lecture hall to an 802.1X rollout gone wrong, voice that drops on roaming, opening the 6 GHz band and automating a security audit.

The book closes with a port and command reference, a glossary and a full index. It is written for network professionals moving into wireless and for candidates who want real understanding rather than memorisation.

A general networking background is enough to start.

A complete, independent study guide for Implementing Cisco Wireless Advanced Solutions v1.2 (WLSI 300-120). All eight blueprint domains are covered in the depth their weighting deserves — the 20 % client security domain gets 50 pages, the 10 % hardening domain gets 23 — so your study time lands where the exam does.

Every configuration is written for the Catalyst 9800 running IOS XE, the platform the exam expects you to know, with AireOS equivalents given where engineers migrating an existing estate need the mapping.

• 334 pages across 8 sections and 63 sub-sections
• 260 knowledge-check questions, five per sub-section, each with a full explanation of why the correct answer is correct and why the most plausible wrong answer is not
• 57 diagrams drawn specifically for this book — data paths, decision trees, protocol exchanges and triage ladders
• Ten worked cases from the field, each crossing domain boundaries the way real faults do
• Complete blueprint mapping, a glossary of every term used, and a consolidated hardening checklist

The same structure every time, so you always know where you are:

1. Explanation from first principles — a mechanism you understand is one you can reason about under exam pressure
2. Diagrams where the relationship is spatial or sequential
3. Complete Catalyst 9800 configurations, with verification commands alongside
4. Four kinds of margin note — Exam Tip where something is directly testable, Common Pitfall where deployments reliably go wrong, Did You Know for the detail that makes a mechanism click, and From the Field for what actually happens in production
5. A summary and key takeaways, written so the takeaways alone work as a revision pass
6. Five knowledge-check questions with full explanations

Engineers who can already build a wireless network and now have to make it work properly — at forty branches, under an audit, during an outage. If you hold a CCNA-level wireless certification or have run a campus wireless network, you have the foundation this book builds on.

A free 40-page sample contains the front matter, the full blueprint mapping, and the first four sub-sections of the FlexConnect domain, reproduced exactly as they appear in the book. Nothing in it is abridged — it is what all 334 pages look like.
