Q

802.11 Wireless Topology Modes

This is when two devices connect wirelessly in a peer-to-peer (P2P) manner without using APs or wireless routers. The IEEE 802.11 standard refers to an ** network as an ___.

A

Ad hoc mode
independent basic service set (IBSS)

Examples include wireless clients connecting directly to each other using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Direct.

Q

WLANs are ____(full-duplex/ half-duplex), shared media configurations

A

Half-duplex

24
Q

WLANs use ____ as the method to determine how and when to send data on the network.

A

carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA)

25
Q

An important part of the 802.11 process is discovering a WLAN and subsequently connecting to it. Wireless devices complete the following three stage process, as shown in the figure:

A

Discover a wireless AP
Authenticate with AP
Associate with AP

26
Q

Wireless Client and AP Association
___ name appears in the list of available wireless networks on a client. In larger organizations that use multiple VLANs to segment traffic, each ** is mapped to one VLAN. Depending on the network configuration, several APs on a network can share a common

A

SSID

27
Q

Wireless Client and AP Association
__: This is required from the wireless client to authenticate to the AP.

A

Password

28
Q

Wireless Client and AP Association
__: This refers to the 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ad WLAN standards. APs and wireless routers can operate in a Mixed mode meaning that they can simultaneously support clients connecting via multiple standards.

A

Network mode

29
Q

Wireless Client and AP Association
__: This refers to the security parameter settings, such as WEP, WPA, or WPA2. Always enable the highest security level supported.

A

Security mode

30
Q

Wireless Client and AP Association
__: This refers to the frequency bands used to transmit wireless data. Wireless routers and APs can scan the radio frequency channels and automatically select an appropriate channel setting. The channel can also be set manually if there is interference with another AP or wireless device.

A

Channel settings

31
Q

Wireless clients connect to the AP using a scanning (probing) process. This process can be __or __.

A

passive
active

32
Q

In __mode, the AP openly advertises its service by periodically sending broadcast beacon frames containing the SSID, supported standards, and security settings

A

passive

33
Q

__ mode allows the wireless clients to choose which network and AP to use.

A

passive

34
Q

In ___ mode, wireless clients must know the name of the SSID. The wireless client initiates the process by broadcasting a probe request frame on multiple channels. The probe request includes the SSID name and standards supported. APs configured with the SSID will send a probe response that includes the SSID, supported standards, and security settings
