46. How can a network switch be said to operate at Layer 4 of the OSI model?

A Layer 4 switch is capable of interpreting Layer 4 data. They operate anywhere between Layer 4 and Layer 7 and are also known as content switches or application switches. Among other things, the ability to interpret higher layer data enables switches to perform advanced filtering, keep statistics, and provide security functions. In general, however, a Layer 4 switch is still optimized for fast Layer 2 data handling.

41. How does a time domain reflectometer (TDR) work?

A TDR issues a signal on a cable and then measures the way the signal bounces back (or reflects) to the TDR. Bad connectors, crimps, bends, short circuits, cable mismatches, bad wiring, or other defects modify the signal's amplitude before it returns to the TDR, thus changing the way it reflects. The TDR then accepts and analyzes the return signal, and based on its condition and the amount of time the signal took to return, determines cable imperfections.

48. When deploying a VoIP solution in a network, what are some of the different types of equipment and devices you may encounter?

A VoIP network might contain devices such as VoIP gateways, which convert signals from analog phone equipment into IP data that can travel over the Internet, or vice versa. You might also encounter VoIP PBX equipment, which serves as a dedicated telephone switch or virtual switching device that connects and manages calls within a private organization, and manages call connections that exit the network through a VoIP gateway. Internally, this equipment connects to VoIP endpoints, which might be telephones sitting at each user's location or applications hosted on a user's computer or other device.

42. What are some of the typical elements that might be present in a fire suppression system, and what do they do?

A fire suppression system in a data center typically includes the following: * emergency alert system-These systems vary, but they typically generate loud noise and flashing lights. Some send text and voice message alerts to key personnel, and post alerts by email, network messages, and other means. * portable fire extinguishers-Note that electrical fires require a Class C fire extinguisher. * emergency power-off switch-Don't use a power-off switch unless you really need to; improper shutdowns are hard on computers and their data. * suppression agent-This can consist of a foaming chemical, gas, or water that sprays everywhere to put out the fire.

43. What is the difference between a WAN, MAN, CAN, and a PAN?

A group of LANs that spread over a wide geographical area is called a WAN (wide area network). A group of connected LANs in the same geographical area-for example, a handful of government offices surrounding a state capitol building-is known as a MAN (metropolitan area network) or CAN (campus area network). The smallest network is a PAN (personal area network), which is a network of personal devices, such as the network you use when you sync your smartphone and your computer.

44. What are some of the tasks for which a network operating system is responsible?

A network operating system is typically responsible for the following: * Managing data and other resources for a number of clients * Ensuring that only authorized users access the network * Controlling which types of files a user can open and read * Restricting when and from where users can access the network * Dictating which rules computers will use to communicate * In some situations, supplying applications and data files to clients POINTS: 1 DIFFICULTY: Moderate REFERENCES: Network Models QUESTION TYPE: Subjective Short Answer HAS VARIABLES: False LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1.1 - Distinguish between client-server and peer-to-peer networks DATE CREATED: 1/27/2018 12:47 PM DATE MODIFIED: 1/27/2018 12:47 PM

45. What is the difference between a port and a socket?

A port is a number assigned to a process, such as an application or a service, that can receive data. Whereas an IP address is used to find a computer, a port is used to find a process running on that computer. TCP and UDP ports ensure that data is transmitted to the correct process among multiple processes running on the computer. A socket consists of both a host's IP address and a process's TCP or UDP port, with a colon separating the two values. For example, the standard port for the Telnet service is TCP 23. If a host has an IP address of 10.43.3.87, the socket address for Telnet running on that host is 10.43.3.87:23.

45. What is a remote application, and how can remote applications be implemented on Windows Server?

A remote application is an application that is installed and executed on a server and is presented to a user working at a client computer. Windows Server 2008 and later versions include Remote Desktop Services to manage remote applications, and versions of Windows Server prior to 2008 provided Terminal Services. Both use RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) to present the remote application and its data to the client.

43. What is the difference between unicast, multicast, and anycast addresses?

A unicast address specifies a single node on a network. This differs from a multicast address, which is delivered to all nodes in a targeted, multicast group. An anycast address can identify multiple destinations, with packets delivered to the closest destination. For example, a DNS name server might send a DNS request to a group of DNS servers that have all been assigned the same anycast address. A router handling the request examines routes to all the DNS servers in the group and routes the request to the closest server.

48. ARP tables might contain two different types of entries. What are they, and how are they created?

ARP tables can contain two types of entries: dynamic and static. Dynamic ARP table entries are created when a client makes an ARP request for information that could not be satisfied by data already in the ARP table; once received, the new information is recorded in the table for future reference. Static ARP table entries are those that someone has entered manually using the ARP utility. This ARP utility, accessed via the arp command in both Windows and Linux, provides a way of obtaining information from and manipulating a device's ARP table.

49. What is the purpose of a main distribution frame or main distribution facility?

Also known as the MC (main cross connect), the MDF is the centralized point of interconnection for an organization's LAN or WAN. In practice, the term MDF can refer either to the racks holding the network equipment or the room that houses both the racks and the equipment. The MDF and the entrance facility might be in the same data room, or they could be in separate rooms, depending on the layout of the building. Connections branching out from the MDF include Ethernet cables connecting to nearby work areas, large cables to running to IDFs in other buildings or on other floors of the same building, and the incoming connection from the service provider's facility.

47. What are some of the basic functions of a network router?

Although any one router can be specialized for a variety of tasks, all routers can do the following: * Connect dissimilar networks, such as a LAN and a WAN, which use different types of routing protocols. * Interpret Layer 3 and often Layer 4 addressing and other information (such as quality of service indicators). * Determine the best path for data to follow from point A to point B. The best path is the most efficient route to the message's destination calculated by the router, based upon the information the router has available to it. * Reroute traffic if the path of first choice is down but another path is available.

42. Describe the 802.11a standard, and detail some of its history and advantages / disadvantages versus other 802.11 standards.

Although the 802.11a task group began its standards work before the 802.11b group, 802.11a was released after 802.11b. The higher throughput of 802.11a, as compared with 802.11b, is attributable to its use of higher frequencies, its unique method of modulating data, and more available bandwidth. Perhaps most significant is that the 5-GHz band is not as congested as the 2.4-GHz band. Thus, 802.11a signals are less likely to suffer interference from microwave ovens, cordless phones, motors, and other (incompatible) wireless LAN signals. However, higher-frequency signals require more power to transmit, and they travel shorter distances than lower-frequency signals. As a result, 802.11a networks require a greater density of access points between the wired LAN and wireless clients to cover the same distance that 802.11b networks cover. The additional access points, as well as the nature of 802.11a equipment, make this standard more expensive than either 802.11b or 802.11g. For this and other reasons, 802.11a is rarely preferred.

50. How is a memorandum of understanding document utilized?

An MOU (memorandum of understanding) documents the intentions of two or more parties to enter into a binding agreement, or contract, and is sometimes used between an informal handshake and the legally binding signatures on contracts. The MOU can be helpful in pushing along contract negotiations and in defining specific concerns of each party, but it is usually not a legally binding document, does not grant extensive rights to either party, provides no legal recourse, and is not intended to provide thorough coverage of the agreement to come.

47. How might an organization configure a DNS server for use on their network?

An organization might utilize these four common types of DNS server configurations: * primary DNS server-The authoritative name server for the organization, which holds the authoritative DNS database for the organization's zones. This server is contacted by clients, both local and over the Internet, to resolve DNS queries for the organization's domains. * secondary DNS server-The backup authoritative name server for the organization. When a secondary DNS server needs to update its database, it makes the request to the primary server for the update; this process is called a zone transfer. * caching DNS server-A server that accesses public DNS data and caches the DNS information it collects. This server receives DNS queries from local network clients and works to resolve them by contacting other DNS servers for information. Caching DNS servers do not store zone files (which is why they must rely on their caches and resolution efforts), and therefore do not participate in zone transfers. * forwarding DNS server-An optional server that receives queries from local clients but doesn't work to resolve the queries. Typically, a forwarding server will maintain its own DNS cache from previous queries, and so it might already have the information the client needs. If not, the forwarding server forwards the query to another server to resolve. Several forwarding servers might be strategically placed throughout the organization's network to reduce network traffic on slow links.

50. Explain the two different categories of Application layer protocols, and then detail the PDU used at this layer.

Application layer protocols are used by programs that fall into two categories: *Application programs that provide services to a user, such as a browser and Web server using the HTTP Application layer protocol *Utility programs that provide services to the system, such as SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) programs that monitor and gather information about network traffic and can alert network administrators about adverse conditions that need attention. Data that is passed between applications or utility programs and the operating system is called a payload and includes control information. The two end-system computers that initiate sending and receiving data are called hosts.

42. What is the difference between bandwidth and throughput?

Bandwidth is the amount of data that could theoretically be transmitted during a given period of time. In an analogy, the bandwidth of a three-lane freeway is the number of vehicles that can pass a checkpoint in one minute when traffic is bumper-to-bumper and traveling at the maximum speed limit. In practice, that bandwidth never happens. Still, we could increase potential bandwidth by adding more lanes to the freeway. At the same time, consider that adding too many lanes for the amount of anticipated traffic, so that some lanes are never used, would be a waste of resources. Throughput is the measure of how much data is actually transmitted during a given period of time. In our analogy, throughput measures the actual traffic on the three-lane freeway that passes in one minute. Using all the available bandwidth results in more accidents and traffic jams than if bandwidth exceeds actual throughput by a little. However, this beneficial effect is limited-providing a lot more potential bandwidth than actual throughput does not achieve additional improvement in performance unless you need to account for regular spikes in traffic.

48. How can you prevent damage to a component prior to touching it?

Before touching a component, first ground yourself using one of these methods: *Wear an ESD strap around your wrist that clips onto the chassis or computer case, which eliminates any ESD between you and the chassis and its components. *If you don't have an ESD strap handy, be sure to at least touch the case before you touch any component inside the case. This is not as effective as wearing an ESD strap, but can reduce the risk of ESD. *To protect a sensitive component, always store it inside an antistatic bag when it's not in use. In addition to protecting against ESD, always shut down and unplug a computer before working inside it.

50. Why are the Class D and Class E IPv4 address ranges not available for general use?

Class D addresses begin with octets 224 through 239 and are used for multicast transmissions, in which one host sends messages to multiple hosts. An example of this is when a host transmits a videoconference over the Internet to multiple participants. Class E addresses, which begin with 240 through 254, are reserved for research.

46. Why should an access point not always utilize all the power it has for broadcasting wireless signals?

Each access point's power level, or the strength of the signal the access point emits, should be optimized for the geographic area covered by that AP. Power levels that are too low will result in dropped signals as clients roam to the peripheral areas of the AP's range. However, maxed out power levels will result in too much overlap between AP coverage areas, causing clients from other coverage areas to attempt to connect with APs that are farther away but transmitting the stronger signal.

42. What steps should be taken to manage documentation at a cabling plant?

Follow these guidelines to manage documentation at your cabling plant: *Keep your cable plant documentation in a centrally accessible location. Make sure it includes locations, installation dates, lengths, and grades of installed cable. *Label every data jack or port, patch panel or punch-down block, and connector or circuit. *Use color-coded cables for different purposes and record the color schemes in your documentation. Cables can be purchased in a variety of sheath colors. For example, you might want to use pink for patch cables, green for horizontal wiring, purple for DMZ lines, and gray for vertical (backbone) wiring. *Be certain to update your documentation as you make changes to the network.

42. How is an IPv6 address written and displayed?

IPv6 addresses are written and displayed as follows: * An IPv6 address has 128 bits that are written as eight blocks (also called quartets) of hexadecimal numbers separated by colons, like this: 2001:0000:0B80:0000:0000:00D3:9C5A:00CC. * Each block is 16 bits. For example, the first block in the preceding IP address is the hexadecimal number 2001, which can be written as 0010 0000 0000 0001 in binary. * Leading zeroes in a four-character hex block can be eliminated. This means our sample IP address can be written as 2001:0000:B80:0000:0000:D3:9C5A:CC. * If blocks contain all zeroes, they can be eliminated and replaced by double colons (::). To avoid confusion, only one set of double colons is used in an IP address. This means our sample IP address can be written two ways: 2001::B80:0000:0000:D3:9C5A:CC or 2001:0000:B80::D3:9C5A:CC POINTS: 1 DIFFICULTY: Difficult REFERENCES: IP Addresses QUESTION TYPE: Subjective Short Answer HAS VARIABLES: False LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 3.2 - Configure TCP/IP settings on a computer, including IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers DATE CREATED: 1/27/2018 1:13 PM DATE MODIFIED: 1/27/2018 1:13 PM

41. How does IPv6 utilize Neighbor Discovery Protocol to detect neighboring devices?

IPv6 devices use NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) in ICMPv6 messages to automatically detect neighboring devices, and to automatically adjust when neighboring nodes fail or are removed from the network. NDP eliminates the need for ARP and some ICMP functions in IPv6 networks, and is much more resistant to hacking attempts than ARP.

49. IPv6 has two different types of unicast addresses. How do these two types differ from each other?

IPv6 unicast addresses come in two types: * global addresses-Can be routed on the Internet and is similar to public IPv4 addresses. Most begin with the prefix 2000::/3, although other prefixes are being released. The /3 indicates that the first three bits are fixed and are always 001. * link local addresses-Can be used for communicating with nodes in the same link, and is similar to an autoconfigured APIPA address in IPv4. It begins with FE80::/10. The first 10 bits of the reserved prefix are fixed (1111 1110 10), and the remaining 54 bits in the 64-bit prefix are all zeroes. Therefore, a link local address prefix is sometimes written as FE80::/64. Link local addresses are not allowed past the local link or on the Internet.

49. How does configuration of wireless clients for wireless access in an enterprise environment differ from normal setup?

In an enterprise environment, configuring clients for wireless access to the network can entail a much more involved, two-part process: * on-boarding-Users or network technicians install a specific app, called an agent, on a user's device, whether the device is a smartphone, laptop, or tablet. This gives the device trusted access to certain portions of the network. Access to email services, file-sharing services, and certain network administrative features might all be controlled by the device's permission levels enabled by on-boarding that device. * off-boarding-The reverse procedure involves removing the agent. For security purposes, network administrators need a feature that allows them to do this remotely, in case a device is lost or stolen. This feature, called a remote wipe, clears a device of all important information, permissions, and apps without having physical access to the device. It might even allow you to completely disable the device, making any network or data access impossible.

In general, the device that marks where a telecommunications service provider's network ends and the organization's network begins is the demarc, or demarcation point. For example, an ISP (Internet service provider) might be responsible for fiber-optic cabling to your building to connect to your LAN. The device where the WAN ends and the LAN begins is the demarc. The service provider is responsible for its network beyond the demarc, and, in most cases, the organization is responsible for devices and services on the campus side of the demarc.

48. What is the difference between war driving and war chalking?

In war driving, a hacker searches for unprotected wireless networks by driving around with a laptop or smartphone configured to receive and capture wireless data transmissions. (The term is derived from the term war dialing, which is a similar tactic involving old, dial-up modems.) War driving is surprisingly effective for obtaining private information. War chalking occurs when a hacker discovers vulnerable access points, and makes this information public by drawing symbols with chalk on the sidewalk or wall within range of a wireless network. The symbols, patterned after marks that hobos devised to indicate hospitable places for food or rest, indicate the access point's SSID and whether it's secured. Alternatively, many websites offer maps of these open networks, as reported by war drivers.

50. What are the different transceiver types that have made the GBIC obsolete?

Newer transceivers that have made the GBIC obsolete include: * SFP (small form-factor pluggable)-Provides the same function as GBICs and is more compact, allowing more ports per linear inch. Also known as mini GBICs or SFP GBICs. Typically used for 1 Gbps connections, but theoretically capable of 5 Gbps. * XFP (10 Gigabit small form-factor pluggable)-Supports up to 10 Gbps and is slightly larger than SFP with lower power consumption than SFP+. * SFP+-Developed later than XFP and is the same module size as SFP; theoretical maximum transmission speed is 16 Gbps. * QSFP (quad small form-factor pluggable)-Complies with the 802.3ba standard, squeezing four channels in a single transceiver and supporting data rates up to 40 Gbps (4 x 10 Gbps). * QSFP+-Generally the same technology as QSFP while supporting data rates over 40 Gbps. Highest speed format currently is QSFP28 with a total theoretical maximum data rate of 112 Gbps (4 x 28 Gbps). * CFP (centum form-factor pluggable)-Intended for 100-Gbps network connections, with each succeeding generation (CFP, CFP2, CFP4) becoming smaller and more energy-efficient.

43. How are routing paths determined?

Routing paths are determined in one of two ways: * static routing-A network administrator configures a routing table to direct messages along specific paths between networks. For example, it's common to see a static route between a small business and its ISP. However, static routes can't account for occasional network congestion, failed connections, or device moves, and they require human intervention. * dynamic routing-A router automatically calculates the best path between two networks and accumulates this information in its routing table. If congestion or failures affect the network, a router using dynamic routing can detect the problems and reroute messages through a different path. When a router is added to a network, dynamic routing ensures that the new router's routing tables are updated.

47. What is the difference between single mode fiber and multimode fiber, and how do they compare?

SMF (single mode fiber) consists of a narrow core of 8 to 10 microns in diameter. Laser-generated light travels a single path over the core, reflecting very little. Because it reflects little, the light does not disperse as the signal travels along the fiber. This continuity allows SMF to accommodate the highest bandwidths and longest distances (without requiring repeaters) of all network transmission media. MMF (multimode fiber) contains a core with a larger diameter than SMF, usually 50 or 62.5 microns, over which many pulses of light generated by a laser or LED light source travel at various angles. Signals traveling over multimode fiber experience greater attenuation than those traversing single mode fiber. Therefore, MMF is not suited to distances longer than a few kilometers. On the other hand, MMF is less expensive to install and, therefore, typically used to connect routers, switches, and servers on the backbone of a network or to connect a desktop workstation to the network.

42. What are the different categories of routers, and how do they compare?

Some of the different categories of routers are as follows: * Core routers, also called interior routers, are located inside networks within the same autonomous system. An AS (autonomous system) is a group of networks, often on the same domain, that are operated by the same organization. An AS is sometimes referred to as a trusted network because the entire domain is under the organization's control. Core routers communicate only with routers within the same AS. * Edge routers, or border routers, connect an autonomous system with an outside network, also called an untrusted network. For example, the router that connects a business with its ISP is an edge router. * Exterior router refers to any router outside the organization's AS, such as a router on the Internet backbone. Sometimes a technician might refer to her own edge router as an exterior router because it communicates with routers outside the AS. But keep in mind that every router communicating over the Internet is an edge router for some organization's AS, even if that organization is a large telecommunications company managing a portion of the Internet backbone.

41. What are the three different types of cabling recognized by TIA/EIA as acceptable for horizontal wiring?

TIA/EIA recognizes three possible cabling types for horizontal wiring: UTP, STP, or fiber optic cable. UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable is a type of copper-based cable that consists of one or more insulated twisted-wire pairs encased in a plastic sheath. STP (shielded twisted pair) cable is a type of copper-based cable containing twisted-wire pairs that are not only individually insulated, but also surrounded by a shielding made of a metallic substance such as foil. Fiber-optic cable is a form of cable that contains one or several glass or plastic fibers in its core and comes in two types: single-mode fiber (SMF) or multimode fiber (MMF). Copper-based cable transmits data via electric signals, and fiber-optic cable transmits data via pulsing light sent from a laser or light-emitting diode (LED).

49. How is the TTL (Time to Live) field utilized in IPv4?

The TTL field indicates the maximum duration that the packet can remain on the network before it is discarded. Although this field was originally meant to represent units of time, on modern networks it represents the number of times a packet can still be forwarded by a router, or the maximum number of router hops it has remaining.The TTL for packets varies and can be configured; it is usually set at 32 or 64. Each time a packet passes through a router, its TTL is reduced by 1. When a router receives a packet with a TTL equal to 0, it discards that packet and sends a TTL expired message via ICMP back to the source host.

44. What is the biggest limiting factor on fiber-optic cable length?

The maximum length limitation is due primarily to optical loss, or the degradation of the light signal after it travels a certain distance away from its source (just as the light of a flashlight dims after a certain number of feet).

47. Describe how the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) differ from each other, and provide examples of where each might be used.

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) makes a connection with the end host, checks whether the data is received, and resends it if it is not. TCP is, therefore, called a connection-oriented protocol. TCP is used by applications such as Web browsers and email. Guaranteed delivery takes longer and is used when it is important to know that the data reached its destination. The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) does not guarantee delivery by first connecting and checking whether data is received; thus, UDP is called a connectionless protocol or best-effort protocol. UDP is used for broadcasting, such as streaming video or audio over the Web, where guaranteed delivery is not as important as fast transmission. UDP is also used to monitor network traffic.

43. What is the hidden node problem, and how can it be mitigated?

The hidden node problem occurs where a node is not visible to other nodes on the other side of a coverage area. One way to ensure that packets are not inhibited by other transmissions is to reserve the medium for one station's use. In 802.11, this can be accomplished through the optional RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) protocol. RTS/CTS enables a source node to issue an RTS signal to an access point requesting the exclusive opportunity to transmit. If the access point agrees by responding with a CTS signal, the access point temporarily suspends communication with all stations in its range and waits for the source node to complete its transmission.

45. Radiation patterns can be used to classify antennas into what two basic categories?

The two basic categories that antennas can be classified under are: * unidirectional antenna (also called a directional antenna)-Issues wireless signals along a single direction. This type is used when the source needs to communicate with one destination, as in a point-to-point link, or in a specific area. A satellite downlink (for example, the kind used to receive digital TV signals) uses directional antennas * omnidirectional antenna-Issues and receives wireless signals with equal strength and clarity in all directions. This type is used when many different receivers must be able to pick up the signal in many directions, or when the receiver's location is highly mobile. TV and radio stations use omnidirectional antennas, as do most towers that transmit cellular signals.

44. Most wireless devices use one of two technologies to avoid interference. What are these technologies?

The two technologies used are as follows: * FHSS (frequency hopping spread spectrum)-Short bursts of data are transmitted on a particular frequency within the band and the next burst goes to the next frequency in the sequence. Frequency hopping can happen hundreds of times a second. FHSS is cheaper to implement than DSSS and performs better than DSSS in crowded, indoor environments. * DSSS (direct sequence spread spectrum)-Data streams are divided and encoded into small chunks, called chips, which are spread over all available frequencies within one of three, wide channels, all at the same time. The process of dividing and encoding the data is called chipping, and the spreading ratio used to transform the data is called the chipping code, which is unique to each device. DSSS uses the available bandwidth more efficiently than FHSS and tends to have a higher throughput.

44. What are the two different variations of network address translation (NAT)?

The two variations of NAT are: * SNAT-Using SNAT (Static Network Address Translation or Source Network Address Translation), the gateway assigns the same public IP address to a host each time it makes a request to access the Internet. Small home networks with only a single public IP address provided by its ISP use SNAT. * DNAT or Destination NAT-Using DNAT (Destination Network Address Translation), hosts outside the network address a computer inside the network by a predefined public IP address. When a message sent to the public IP address reaches the router managing DNAT, the destination IP address is changed to the private IP address of the host inside the network. The router must maintain a translation table of public IP addresses mapped to various hosts inside the network.

48. What are the two different types of DNS requests?

There are two types of DNS requests: * recursive query-A query that demands a resolution or the answer "It can't be found." For example, the initial request the resolver makes to the local server is a recursive query. The local server must provide the information requested by the resolver, as in "The buck stops here." * iterative query-A query that does not demand resolution. For example, when the local server issues queries to other servers, the other servers only provide information if they have it.

43. Noise can degrade or distort a signal on a network; what are some of its causes?

Two common sources of noise are: * EMI (electromagnetic interference)-Caused by motors, power lines, televisions, copiers, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, manufacturing machinery, and other sources of electrical activity (including a severe thunderstorm). One type of EMI is RFI (radio frequency interference), or electromagnetic interference caused by radio waves. (Often, you'll see EMI referred to as EMI/RFI.) Strong broadcast signals from radio or TV antennas can generate RFI. * crosstalk-Occurs when a signal traveling on one wire or cable infringes on the signal traveling over an adjacent wire or cable. The resulting noise, or crosstalk, is equal to a portion of the second line's signal. If you've ever been on a traditional, landline phone and heard the conversation on a second line in the background, you have heard the effects of crosstalk.

The problem is that the PIN can be easily cracked through a brute force attack, which means simply trying numerous possible character combinations to find the correct combination.

47. When deciding antenna types, why might the use of an omnidirectional antenna be inadvisable?

You might think that omnidirectional antennas would nearly always be the best choice when setting up Wi-Fi coverage. The idea is to place the AP in the center of its coverage area, then send the signal out in all directions. However, in many situations, installing unidirectional antennas instead will enhance a signal's availability, directing the signal right where you need it while not wasting a signal in areas where you don't. For example, suppose a company installs an omnidirectional antenna near a factory's 30-foot high ceiling. Because the antenna's signal is broadcast in all directions from its location, distributing its signal strength in a spherical shape, the best possible signal would only be available to workers who could walk on the ceiling-obviously, that's not a viable situation. To be useful, the signal needs to be directed down to the floor. A unidirectional antenna, in this case, can be positioned up high and pointed down to create a dome-shaped coverage that spreads out as it nears the plant floor POINTS: 1 DIFFICULTY: Difficult REFERENCES: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Networks QUESTION TYPE: Subjective Short Answer HAS VARIABLES: False LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 6.6 - Troubleshoot a Wi-Fi network DATE CREATED: 1/27/2018 1:21 PM DATE MODIFIED: 2/2/2018 2:56 PM
