Chapter 18: Wireless Infrastructure Flashcards
An AP that offers one or more fully functional, standalone basic service sets.
Autonomous AP
What must an autonomous AP be configured with to enable remote management?
Management IP
T/F
A dedicated management VLAN must be added to every trunk link to reach an autonomous AP.
True
T/F
Autonomous APs become easier to manage and configure as the wireless network expands.
False
As the wireless network expands, the infrastructure becomes more difficult to configure correctly and becomes less efficient.
T/F
Wireless traffic can travel between autonomous APs without having to travel across the wired network.
True
An AP that must join a WLC to become fully functional.
Lightweight
Define split-MAC architecture
The AP handles most of the real-time 802.11 processes and the WLC performs the management functions.
What is used to logically connect an AP and a WLC?
CAPWAP tunnel
A topology where the WLC is placed in a central location to maximize the number of APs that can be connected to it.
Centralized/Unified WLAN
What kind of link is used to connect a lightweight AP to an access layer switch?
Access link
T/F
Wireless traffic can travel between lightweight APs without having to travel across the wired network.
False.
Traffic is carried across the CAPWAP tunnel to the WLC.
Round-Trip Time (RTT) between AP and WLC
Less than 100ms
What can occur if the RTT between AP and WLC is too high?
The APs might decide the WLC is not responding fast enough. This can cause the AP to disconnect and find a faster WLC to connect to.
A wireless topology where the WLC is embedded in the switch hardware.
Embedded WLAN.
Benefit of embedded topology
Cost-effective
