WLAN 1

Q: Does WLAN Network Card have the same MAC address as LAN Network Card? 1
A: No
Q: What is SSID? 1
A: SSID Service Set Identifier, logical name used to identify an IEEE 802.11 wireless network
Q: What is ESS? 1
A: ESS Extended Service Set, two or more basic service sets (BSS) connected by a distribution system
(DS) medium (typically Ethernet), two or more Access Points connected to the same LAN and able to
broadcast the same SSID
Q: What is RSSI? 1
A: RSSI Received Signal Strength Indicator, signal strength measured at receiver of this signal
(destination station)
Q: The height or power of a radio wave is known as what? 1
A: Amplitude
Q: In which general frequencies can operate standard IEEE 802.11n? 1
A: 2.4GHz and 5GHz
Q: Name three types of Layer 2 frames in IEEE 802.11 1
A: Management, Data, Control
Q: How many channels can we use at 2.4GHz frequency in Europe? 1
A: 13
Q: Which 802.11 service set may allow for client roaming? 1
A: ESS
Q: What is Free Space Path Loss? 1
A: The loss of signal strength caused by the natural broadening of the wave
Q: What kind of antenna radiates RF signal almost equally in all directions? 1
A: Omnidirectional
Q: What is MIMO? 1
A: Multiple Input Multiple Output, Access Point is using more than one antenna to send and receive
signal
Q: Which device is sending Beacon frames in IEEE 802.11 network? 1
A: Access Point
Q: The Fresnel zone should not be blocked by more than what percentage to maintain a reliable 1
communications link?
A: 40%
Q: What is Lightweight Access Point (LAP)? 1
A: AP that is designed to be connected to WLAN Controller and be managed/monitored by WLAN
Controller
Q: WLAN Access Point transmits at 10 mW. The cable to the antenna produces a loss of 3 dB, and the 2
antenna produces a gain of 20 dBi. What is the EIRP?
A: 500 mW (0.5 W).
Q: What is the best way (recommended by vendors) to power WLAN Access Point? 2
A: PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Q: What is roaming in IEEE 802.11 network? 2
A: The ability for the client stations to transition from one AP to another while maintaining network
connectivity for the upper-layer applications
Q: What Active gain stands for? 1
A: The increase of amplitude or signal strength usually caused by the transceiver or the use of an
amplifier on the wire that connects the transceiver to the antenna
Q: What is WLAN Controller and what is it used for? 2
A: WLAN Controller is the core device that manages many Access Points, it is responsible among others
for authentication, association and deassociation of WLAN clients (stations), management and
monitoring of Access Points: setting channels and transmission power, providing SSIDs, etc.
Q: Which protocol is in use on Cisco devices in order to establish connection between controller-based 2
AP and WLAN Controller?
A: CAPWAP
Q: What is the main difference between Local mode (Tunnel mode) and FlexConnect mode (Bridge 2
mode)
A: Local mode (Tunnel mode) data traffic is tunneled from Access Point to WLAN Controller
FlexConnect mode (Bridge mode) data traffic is bridged locally at Access Point (not tunneled)
