17
Q

What is Channel Utilization?

A

A statistic or measure of the amount of airtime utilization that occurs for a particular frequency or channel.

18
Q

What is a Site Survey?

A

The process of planning and designing a wireless network to provide the required wireless solution

19
Q

What is an AP Association Time?

A

When an end user has been on an access point for an amount of time.

20
Q

What is Coverage?

A

A measure of how much area around a wireless transmitter is there sufficient signal strength for wireless devices to utilize

21
Q

What is an Interference?

A

Occurs when multiple wireless networks communicate on the same channel using the same frequency

22
Q

How much overlap percentage between access points is enough for sufficient coverage?

A

10-15%

23
Q

What is Attenuation?

A

Reduction of signal strength between the transmission and receipt of the signal

Can happen for antennas and radio frequency

24
Q

What is a Service Set Identifier (SSID)?

A

A natural language name used to identify a wireless network in an 802.11 network

25
Q

What is a Passphrase/Pre-Shared Key (PSK)?

A

Used to encrypt and decrypt data sent and received by a wireless network

26
Q

What is an Encryption Mismatch?

A

Occurs when the client and the access point are using different encryption types

27
Q

What is a Captive Portal?

A

A web page displayed to newly-connected Wi-Fi users before being granted broader access to network resources

28
Q

What are Client Disassociation Issues?

A

Idle Timeout, Session Timeout, Wireless Network Change, Manual Deletion, Authentication Timeouts, Access Point Radio Reset

29
Q

What is an Idle Timeout?

A

Occurs when there’s no traffic within 300 seconds

30
Q

What is a Session Timeout?

A

Occurs when there’s no traffic within 1800 seconds

31
Q

What is a Wireless Network Change?

A

Occurs whenever the wireless local area network is changed

32
Q

What is a Manual Deletion?

A

Occurs whenever a client is removed by an administrator

33
Q

What is an Authentication Timeout?

A

Occurs when the authentication or key exchange process fails to finish in time

34
Q

What is an Access Point Radio Reset?

A

Occurs when a change is made to the wireless network

35
Q

What are some Captive Portal Issues?

A

HTTP Redirect, ICMP Redirect, DNS Redirect

36
Q

What is HTTP Redirect?

A

Redirects all traffic to a web server which then redirects them to a captive portal using a 302 HTTP status code

37
Q

What is an ICMP Redirect?

A

Sends error messages and operational information indicating the success or failure of communicating with another IP address

38
Q

What is a DNS Redirect?

A

The client is redirected by the onboard DNS server to the captive portal webpage
