Chapter II Wireless Lan

1 In addition to faster speeds, what is the benefit of the 802.11g WLAN standard? It provides interoperability among and between all WLAN speeds working at the 2.4 GHz frequency eliminating the need for a complete equipment upgrade. It provides interoperability between 5.5 Mbps and 54 Mbps WLAN speeds at 5 GHz thus allowing for compatibility with legacy systems and new devices. It uses the CCK waveform which offers much higher speeds, greater ranges, and better tolerance of multipath echoes which are common to internal building applications. It uses a hybrid of OFDM for slow data rates and CCK for fast data rates allowing both waveforms to coexist on the same WLAN. What is the frequency range of operation in the 802.11a standard for WLANs? 2.4 GHz 11 GHz 5 GHz 5.5 GHz What is the primary service of the 802.11 standard? to detect collisions between MAC Service Data Units (MSDUs) on the wireless medium to deliver MAC Service Data Units (MSDUs) between peer LLC devices to ensure reliable delivery of MAC Service Data Units (MSDUs) with error correction to provide secure delivery of MAC Service Data Units (MSDUs) What are the three non-overlapping IEEE 802.11b High Rate operating channels used in North America? 1, 3, 11 1, 3, 13 1, 6, 11 2, 6, 11 2, 7, 13 Which two protocols combined are functionally equivalent to Layer 2 of the OSI model? (Select two.) 802.1x 802.11 PHY 802.11 MAC 802.2 LLC 802.2 LSS In the 802 Reference Model, which connection services does the LLC provide for the upper layer protocol (ULP)? (Select three.) acknowledged multicast unacknowledged connectionless acknowledged broadcast

acknowledged connection-oriented acknowledged connectionless 7 In addition to physically installing the client adapter card into the wireless station, what is needed for functionality of the card? a universal client adapter software driver an interoperability software patch a client adapter driver with its corresponding AP driver a client adapter software driver specific to the OS Which layers of the OSI model are primarily supported by the 802.11 standard? (Select two.) Layer 1 Layer 2 Layer 3 Layer 4 Layer 5 Layer 6 What are the four modulation formats and data rates specified for the High Rate PHY? (Select four.) differential quadrature convolutional coding (DQCC) mode for 2 Mbps differential binary phase shift keying (DBPSK) modulation for 1 Mbps packet binary convolutional coding (PBCC) mode for enhanced performance differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) modulation for 2 Mbps compensatory differential code keying (CDCK) modulation scheme for 5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps complementary code keying (CCK) modulation scheme for 5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps 1 What is the benefit of using Complementary Code Keying (CCK)? In the 802.11a standard, it is used to increase peak data rates from 1 Mbps to 2 Mbps. In the 802.11b standard, it is used to increase peak data rates from 2 Mbps to 11 Mbps. In the 802.11b standard, it is used to increase peak data rates from 11 Mbps to 54 Mbps. In the 802.11g standard, it is used to maintain peak data rates of 54 Mbps. Distributed Coordination Function, the fundamental access method of the IEEE 802.11 MAC, uses which type of media access? carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance carrier sense multiple access with collision detection contention-free access carrier sense multiple access with collision delay 1 What is a major advantage of the 802.11g standard for WLANs? It achieves data rates in the range of 5.5 Mbps to 11 Mbps in the 5 GHz frequency range. It achieves data rates up to 54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. It achieves data rates up to 54 Mbps in the 5 GHz frequency range. It is an archaic protocol that is rarely used.

In the 802.11 standard, which mechanism provides security services for the WLAN? Wired Equivalent Protocol Wireless Ethernet Protocol Wireless Ethernet Privacy Wired Equivalent Privacy 1 What is the IEEE standard for WLANs? 802.5 803.3 802.10 802.11

15 What is orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and how is it used in the 802.11a standard? A technique that allows short bursts of data to be transmitted on a narrow frequency band and then change to another frequency to continue the data transmission A technique that divides a communications channel into a number of equally-spaced frequency bands and reduces multipath interference A technique that allows two or more channels of information to be transmitted at the same time by allocating a different time interval for the transmission of each frequency channel and eliminating multipath interference A technique that enables a signal to be transmitted across a frequency band that is much wider than the minimum bandwidth required by the information signal thus reducing multipath interference 16 Where does IR PHY operate? indoor environments only indoor and outdoor environments outdoor environments only well-lit environments only 7 1 What is the primary function of Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Adapters, also referred to as client adapters? to connect a wireless device to the wired infrastructure providing a common DS to provide communication between fixed, portable, and mobile devices to transfer data packets through the wired infrastructure to transfer data packets through the wireless infrastructure

18 What is the best way to get specific software drivers for Cisco wireless adapter cards? Order them directly from a Cisco retailer. Download them from the CCO site. Purchase them at any computer retail store. They are already installed on portable devices.
