Q

Define split-MAC architecture

A

The AP handles most of the real-time 802.11 processes and the WLC performs the management functions.

13
Q

What can occur if the RTT between AP and WLC is too high?

A

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.

Q

Mobility Express topology

A

A Cisco AP also runs software that acts as a WLC.

17
Q

How many APs can a Mobility Express WLC support?

A

100

18
Q

List the AP State Machine Steps

A
  1. AP boots
  2. WLC discovery
  3. CAPWAP
  4. WLC Join
  5. Download image
  6. Download config
  7. Run state
  8. Reset
19
Q

T/F

Lightweight AP software can be manually controlled from the WLC.

A

False

The WLC that the AP connects to determines the software the lightweight AP runs.

20
Q

What methods does a AP use to build a list of available WLCs to join?

A
  1. Prior knowledge of WLCs
  2. DHCP and DNS info to suggest some controllers.
  3. Broadcast on local subnet to solicit controllers.
21

A. 5545
B. 3261
C. 5321
D. 5415

A

D. 5415

25
Q

What do WLCs respond to a CAPWAP Discovery Request with?

Critical

29
Q

Default keepalive interval

A

30 seconds

30
Q

32
Q

A measure of how effectively an antenna can focus RF energy in a certain direction.

A

Gain

33
Q

The electrical field wave’s orientation.

A

Polarization

34
Q

What occurs if the transmitter polarization does not match the receiver polarization?

A

Signal loss

35
Q

2 types of antennas

A

Omnidirectional

Directional
