Course Overview

This course equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience needed to set up and configure a basic Aruba WLAN using the ArubaOS 8.X architecture and features. Through a combination of lectures and practical labs, learners will gain a solid technical foundation in deploying a single Mobility Master with one controller and access point.

Participants will work with Aruba hardware and ArubaOS to design, install, and secure a complete controller-based WLAN environment with multiple SSIDs. By the end of the course, learners will have both the theoretical understanding and practical expertise to build a reliable Aruba WLAN solution.

This training also serves as essential preparation for the Aruba Certified Mobility Associate (ACMA) V8 certification exam.
