Q

The EIRP of a transmitting station is an important measurement of power that is often regulated.
Describe what the EIRP is.

A

The EIRP is the power a signal has just as it leaves the antenna. This means that the EIRP is the effective radiated power of a transmitter and antenna system in a specific direction

Q

Is all 802.11 communication half-duplex?

A

Yes, most 802.11 communication is half-duplex, which means that the devices can either send or receive data at a given time, but not both simultaneously. However, some 802.11 standards, such as 802.11n and 802.11ac, support a feature called multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), which allows the devices to use multiple antennas to transmit and receive data simultaneously on different spatial streams, effectively achieving full-duplex communication

Q

When would source address and transmitter address be different in the 802.11 frame?

A

The source address and the transmitter address would be different in the 802.11 frame when the frame is sent or received by an intermediate device, such as an access point or a mesh node, that is part of a distribution system or a wireless network. In this case, the source address is the MAC address of the original sender of the frame, and the transmitter address is the MAC address of the system that is directly transmitting the frame.

Q

Explain what frequency bandwidth and data bandwith refers to for radio communication

A

Frequency bandwidth is typically measured in hertz (Hz) and indicates the range of frequencies that a signal occupies or a system can handle. Data bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred per unit of time over a communication channel. It is usually measured in bits per second (bps) and indicates the capacity or speed of a communication system.

Q

Briefly explain the relationship between frequency bandwidth and the data bandwidth of a radio signal

A

In general, the higher the frequency bandwidth, the higher the data bandwidth, as more information can be encoded in a wider range of frequencies. However, there are also trade-offs between frequency bandwidth and data bandwidth, such as power consumption, interference, and complexity of the system.

Q

Briefly explain the purpose of these two modes when talking about 802.11 FlexConnect mode, Sniffer mode

A

FlexConnect mode: This mode allows the LAP to locally switch traffic between an SSID and a VLAN if the CAPWAP tunnel to the wireless LAN controller (WLC) is offline. This mode is useful for remote locations where the WAN link to the WLC may be unreliable or have high latency. FlexConnect mode also supports features such as local authentication, local switching, and backup RADIUS servers1.
Sniffer mode: This mode enables the LAP to dedicate its radios to receiving 802.11 traffic from other devices, like a packet capture. The LAP then forwards all the packets on a particular channel to a remote machine that runs packet analyzer software, such as Wireshark or OmniPeek. This mode is useful for monitoring and troubleshooting 802.11 behavior, such as authentication, association, roaming, and encryption23.

A

Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)

72
Q

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

A

If the frequency is increased, the wavelength gets decreased

73
Q

What is diffraction?

A

Diffraction is the phenomenon of a radio wave bending around an obstacle or the edge of an object, such as a building, a hill, or a mountain. Diffraction occurs when the size of the obstacle is comparable to the wavelength of the wave.

74
Q

An 802.11b receiver is receiving signals from a transmitter. The radio waves have taken two
diferent paths to the receiver, one straight ahead and one reflected due to multipath. The two
waveforms arrive at the receiver 90° out of phase. What will happen to the received signal?

A

The waveforms will cancel each other out (nulling). Nulling occurs when the reflected waves arrive exactly out of phase with the main signal and cancel each other out.

A

The answer is false. DFS is not required for all outdoor 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11 implementations, but only for those that operate in the same frequency range as radar systems

81
Q

A 40 MHz channel has three times the data bandwidth compared to a 20 MHz channel. True or
false?

A

False, it has twice as much

82

83
Q

Which connection state will a client station be in once they have fully connected to an access
point and can send data?

A

Associated

84
Q

Which WLAN infrastructure term describes the layer 2 identifier of a basic service set?

A

BSSID

85
Q

What does a BSS consist of?

A

A BSS usually consists of one access point and one or more client stations. The access point acts as a central hub that coordinates the transmission and reception of data packets among the client stations.

86
Q

To allow for roaming, how should the APs be configured?

A

With the same SSID. To the user, all APs appear as a single unit. However, each AP will still have its own BSSID

87
Q

What type of service set does not have an AP?

A

IBSS. This stands for Independent Basic Service Set, and it is a self-contained network that does not have an access point. An IBSS is also known as an ad hoc network

88
Q

The typical dipole antenna has a gain of 1dBd. How many dBi is 1 dBd?

A

3.15 dBi

89
Q

Name three components that introduce a dB loss to the signal of a station:

A

Antenna cable, connector, attenuator

90
Q

The frequency an antenna is built for affects the physical size of the antenna. For instance, an
antenna built for 5GHz is generally of smaller size compared to an antenna of the same type built
for 2.4GHz.
True or false?

A

True. The frequency an antenna is built for affects the physical size of the antenna. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength, and the smaller the antenna can be made.

91
Q

What is true of the traffic flow when using a WLC?

A

All client traffic must pass through the WLC, except when the AP is configured for FlexConnect

92
Q

Which architecture uses standalone APs without any WLAN controller or co-operation
between access points?

A

Autonomous

93
Q

96
Q

An LAP must be in the same VLAN and subnet as the WLC to be able to connect. True or false?

A

False

97
Q

What best describes the purpose of carrier sense in CSMA/CA?

A

Carrier sense is performed by a transmitting station to determine if the medium is clear

98
Q

Which frame is sent by a receiving station if the CRC in the 802.11 trailer does not calculate
correctly?

A

No frame is sent, if the CRC does not match the calculated value, the frame is discarded and no acknowledgment (ACK) frame is sent back to the sender. The sender will assume that the frame was lost or corrupted and will retransmit it after a timeout.

99
Q

Q

What three things are necessary for a laptop to roam between two APs?

A
