Training overview
In our Implementing Cloud Switching and Wireless learning path, you’ll learn how to deploy and implement Meraki-managed wireless and switching products. Here you can also learn, if applicable, how to migrate existing Cisco Catalyst equipment to be monitored or managed in the Meraki dashboard. You can learn at your own pace, and pass the assessment at any time to earn a certificate of completion.
