Labs
The UEWA course is written with great detail so you can follow each step closely and understand the technical objective of the activity. Your trainer will provide you with a LiteBeam-ac 5 GHz, 23dBi radio/antenna (LBE-5AC-23) and UniFi AP-AC Lite (UAP-AC-LITE). For each lab activity, read the description at the beginning to understand the objectives. Then proceed to follow the instructions step-by-step as you configure your airMAX-ac and UniFi devices. At the conclusion of the lab activity, compare your lab topology with the topology diagram shown, then answer the questions in the review.
Your trainer will assign you a unique number (X) to differentiate your IP settings from that of others. Later, you will work in groups (Student A and B) to complete lab activities, where your unique number (Student X) is still used for reference. As an example, Student 1 (A) and 2 (B) work in a group and use their unique numbers (1 and 2, respectively). If the lab activity requires Student 2 (B) to set an interface address to “10.1.(100+A).B”, then Student 2 (B) would set the interface address to “10.1.101.2”, since (100+A) = (100 +1) = 101 and B = 2.
Prerequisites: Level 1
Target Audience
Ubiquiti Enterprise Wireless Certification Track
While not a prerequisite to the UEWA course, the UBRSS (Ubiquiti Broadband Routing & Switching Specialist) course teaches you basic, foundational networking concepts, regardless of your technical background. It also explains how different Ubiquiti products, such as routers, switches, and access points are configured and deployed in broadband & enterprise networks. The UEWA course targets students who have some experience in wireless networking, independent of vendor. Both courses are fast-paced and feature plenty of lab activities to reinforce theory and practice technical concepts. At the conclusion of the course, you can take an exam to certify at the level of Ubiquiti Enterprise Wireless Admin. If you pass at 65% or higher, you will receive a student certificate.
