The 802.11 standard specifies the use of what technique in order to minimize the potential for collisions?
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)
Which Bluetooth power class allows for a maximum power output of 100 mW and a range of up to 100m?
Class 1
If you need to evaluate Wi-Fi network availability as well as optimize Wi-Fi signal settings and identify security threats, what tool should you use?
Wi-Fi analyzer
Which 802.11 frame type is related to medium access and data delivery, and includes ACK and RTS/CTS frames?
control frames
The use of multiple antennas on an access point to issue a signal to one or more receivers is enabled by what 802.11 innovation?
multiple input-multiple output (MIMO)
A wireless node that is in active scanning mode transmits what special type of frame in order to find available access points?
probe frame
What type of device can be used to access the quality of a wireless signal?
spectrum analyzer
How does the 802.11 data frame indicate how a large packet should be fragmented?
the sequence control field indicates how packets will be subdivided.
All wireless signals are carried through the air by electromagnetic waves.
true
An 802.11 data frame contains four address fields, in contrast to the two address fields in 802.3 Ethernet.
true
The Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN can be easily cracked through a brute force attack.
true
The Wireless Personal Area Network(WPAN) is defined in the 802.15 standard.
true
The most secure Wi-Fi communication is made possible by combing a RADIUS server with WPA or WPA2, known as WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise, respectively.
true
what is the purpose of the Layer 2 LLC sublayer?
It is used to handle multiplexing, flow and error control, and reliability.
When troubleshooting wireless issues, what statement is accurate?
Access points that use overlapping channels can cause interference with each other if they are too close.
How does refraction affect the propagation of a wireless transmission?
It distorts the signals as it travels into and through a different transmission medium.
What optional protocol can be used in 802.11 to reserve the medium for one node's use?
RTS/CTS(Request to Send/Clear to Send)
You are troubleshooting client's wireless networking issue. Which of the following will prevent the client from connecting to the network?
The client has a wireless profile configured for the "campus" SSID, but the access point is broadcasting the "CAMPUS" SSID
Diffraction has what affect on a wireless signal's propagation?
The signal is split into secondary waves that continue in the direction in which they split.
In IEEE terminology, a group of stations that share an access point are said to be part of which of the following?
basic service set
What special signal is issued periodically from a AP and contains the network transmission rate and service set identifier (SSID), as well as other information needed for a computer to associate with the AP?
