22
Q

To troubleshoot WLAN issues, what should be done when the network is slow?

A
  • Upgrade your wireless clients
  • Split the traffic between frequency bands
23
Q

Fill in the blank: The AP connected to the WLC is often referred to as a _______.

A

lightweight AP.

24
Q

What feature allows specific TCP and UDP ports to be opened on a wireless router?

A

Port forwarding.

25
Q

True or False: The wireless router configuration can typically be accessed through a command-line interface.

A

False

26
Q

What is the typical use case for a small office and home wireless router?

A

Provide WLAN security, DHCP services, and NAT.

27
Q

What is the significance of the ‘Network Summary’ page on the WLC?

A

Provides an overview of configured wireless networks, APs, and active clients.

28
Q

What should you do to ensure there are no overlapping channels in a WLAN configuration?

A

Configure the channel carefully.

29
Q

What is the benefit of splitting wireless traffic between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands?

A

It helps manage traffic by using two separate wireless networks.

30

Identify the Problem.

33
Q

What command can be used to confirm the network configuration on a PC?

A

ipconfig

34
Q

What should you check if a wireless client is not connecting?

A

Confirm power to all devices and inspect links for bad connectors.

35
Q

Fill in the blank: The process of analyzing and resolving network issues is called _______.

A

troubleshooting

36
Q

What should be done after determining the cause of a WLAN issue?

A

Establish a Plan of Action to Resolve the Problem and Implement the Solution.

37
Q

What is the purpose of a RADIUS server in WLAN user authentication?

A

To provide authentication, accounting, and auditing (AAA) services.

38
Q

True or False: Dual-band routers typically use different network names for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

A

False

39
Q

What should be done to improve the range of a wireless network?

A

Ensure the router or AP location is free of obstructions.

40
Q

What is the role of SNMP in WLAN management?

A

To monitor the network and forward log messages to the SNMP server.
