Ranga,

I apologize. For some reason, part of me read CWNA rather than CWSP.

For the CWSP, a Radius server is almost a must. Not quite, but having one to configure and getting it to work will really help cement the concepts in your head. The whole Authentication Server, Authenticator, Supplicant idea was kind of nebulous to me, without the hardware, the first time I took the exam. Take a look at www.freeradius.com.

My other recommendations still stand for CWNA, but they just went up a notch in complexity for the CWSP & Radius requirements - at least on one AP anyway.

A really good book from Jim Geier is "Implementing 802.1x Security Solutions for Wired and Wireless Networks".

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
