9.5.5 Wireless Network Implementation

For home or small business implementations, you typically use a consumer-grade access point that combines many functions into a single device. What is the maximum number of clients that can be supported at a time?

5-10 wireless clients

Which of the following best describes a hub-and-spoke infrastructure deployment model?

A wireless controller is connected to all access points through wired links. The individual APs contain very little embedded intelligence and are sometimes referred to as lightweight access points (LWAPs).

Which of the following enterprise wireless deployment models uses access points with enough intelligence to allow the creation of guest WLANs for keeping public wireless traffic separate from private traffic?

Distributed wireless mesh infrastructure

Match each type of access point on the left with the wireless network architecture where it is commonly used on the right. Each type of access point may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Independent access point infrastructure Intelligent AP Hub-and-spoke infrastructure Lightweight AP Distributed wireless mesh infrastructure Intelligent AP

Which enterprise deployment has limited mobility and is difficult to manage?

Independent access points

As the user moves out of the range of one access point, their wireless device must re-associate with a new access point as it comes within range. What is this process known as?

Roaming

Match each wireless networking term or concept on the left with the appropriate description on the right. Each term may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

Moving a wireless device between access points within the same wireless network. Roaming Used by Cisco wireless equipment to route frames back and forth between the wireless network and the wired LAN. LWAPP Specifies the number of clients that utilize the wireless network. Device density Automatically partitions a single broadcast domain into multiple VLANs. VLAN pooling Connects two wired networks over a Wi-Fi network. Wireless bridge The number of useful bits delivered from sender to receiver within a specified amount of time. Goodput

What is a lightweight access point used for?

To route frames between the wireless and wired networks.

To enable roaming, network administrators have to configure all access points in the network to comply with which of the following criteria? (Select three.)

To use the same channel. To have the same SSID. To function on the same IP subnet.

You need to add security for your wireless network. You would like to use the most secure method. Which method should you implement?

WPA2
