Chapter 10 Flashcards
This type of access point is used in a Centralized WLAN Architecture. The AP has very limited processing capability and cannot function without a WLAN Controller.
Lightweight AP
Windows built in client utility known as Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) has built in monitoring and advanced statistical data such as Signal Strength, Signal to Noise, and Frame Retransmissions.
False
You want to track advanced statistics related to your WLAN connection. Which WLAN client software should you use and why?
The NIC’s client software, because it is more likely to support viewing of advanced statistics
The internal 802.11 wireless adapter that comes with your laptop computer from the manufacturer is most likely which form factor?
Mini-PCI
Long distance wireless bridges can often have unnecessary re-transmissions due to the time it takes for the ACK frames to travel the physical distance between the bridges. One way to resolve this problem is to:
Adjust the ACK time-out setting on the bridges
What are some common capabilities of WLAN Controller Architecture?
Dynamic RF AP Management Bandwidth Throttling Firewall ***** All of the above *****
Which Client utilities will typically offer the best support for a wide range of various WLAN security and authentication implementations? (Choose Two)
Enterprise-class vendor specific client utilities Third-party client utilities
This form factor is replacing PCMCIA on modern laptops and is both smaller and faster than the PCMCIA standard.
ExpressCard
You purchase a Linksys Wireless Router from Best Buy to install at your home. This device is also known as:
Home Wi-Fi Router
You want to configure your desktop computer to connect to an 802.11 WLAN. It does not currently have a WLAN NIC installed. Which of the following form factors will work natively in your desktop computer?
PCI
USB
What devices can be used to manage multiple lightweight access points from a centralized location?
WLAN Controller
Wireless bridges support only two topologies. The two topologies for wireless bridging include: (Choose Two)
Point-to-Point
Point-to-multipoint
This is software or a server that was implemented to allow for easier administration over large numbers of Autonomous Access Points. The software could push configurations to the access points and could possibly monitor the APs using ping and SNMP. The software does not participate in the Layer 2 operations of the wireless LAN.
WLAN Network Management Systems
This WLAN architecture uses a single WLAN controller to control all of the access points on the LAN. In this model, access points have limited layer 2 functionality and forward all traffic to the controller for processing.
Centralized WLAN Architecture
A WNMS server can be used to manage which kind of devices? (Choose Two)
Autonomous APs
WLAN Controllers
