Fundamentals of Wireless LANs Answer

Chapter 1
1 Which of the following modulation techniques offers more speed in a WLAN? DSSS FHSS X OFDM OSDF

2 In a large WLAN, what is the function of multiple APs? X to allow mobile users to move throughout the WLAN to provide direct user to user connection to provide connection between multiple switches to provide connection between multiple VLANs

3 What are the four main requirements for a WLAN solution? (Select four.) X high availability cost X scalability ease of implementation X open architecture X manageability

4 Which IEEE standard contains the specifications for WLANs? 802.3 802.5

X 802.11 802.12

5 Which device is represented by the symbol in the graphic? wireless bridge X wireless AP wireless switch wireless VLAN

6 When designing a WLAN, what must be completed before deployment decisions are made? site design X site survey site analysis site inspection site review

7 Which type of wireless transmission usually requires a government license? X microwave infrared radio frequency

ultraviolet

8 Which type of media is shown in the graphic? X coaxial fiber optic ScTP STP UTP

9 Which type of media is shown in the graphic? coaxial X fiber optic ScTP STP UTP

10 Why is the direct sequence spread spectrum modulation technique ideal for data communications? It spreads a transmission signal over a narrow range of radio frequencies so there is minimal loss. It splits the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are transmitted at different frequencies to achieve high throughput. X It is less susceptible to radio noise and creates little interference. It reduces interference because it is only affected if two signals are transmitting at the same frequency at the same time.

11 Why is microwave a less desirable solution than radio wave transmission in wireless bridge applications? (Select four.) X Equipment cost is typically high. X A government license is usually required. Transmission rates are unreliable in any weather. X Rain, fog, or snow can significantly reduce performance. The network is very difficult to maintain. X The network tends to be point-to-point.

12 What is the maximum throughput that can be achieved by IEEE 802.11a compliant products? 10 Mbps 11 Mbps X 54 Mbps 100 Mbps

13 At 2.4 GHz, which transmission speed can be delivered by IEEE 802.11b compliant devices? up to 10 Mbps X up to 11 Mbps up to 54 Mbps up to 100 Mbps

14 On Cisco wireless PC cards, which power mode provides the best connectivity option

to the WLAN? X CAM FastPSP PSP CAD

15 What is the purpose of the Cisco Aironet 350 Series Workgroup Bridge (WGB)? to connect remote LANs over 40 km or 25 miles X to connect up to eight Ethernet-enabled clients to a WLAN to extend the range of the wireless signal beyond 40 km or 25 miles to connect two or more networks typically located in different buildings

16 Which technological and strategic developments assisted in the widespread acceptance of wireless technology? (Select three.) increase in cost of fiber-optic and copper installations X adoption of IEEE 802.11 standards X data rates commensurate with wired networks increase in compliance regulations in Ethernet-based networks X increased security

17 Which types of transmission medium are available for use by WLANs? (Select two.) fiber-optic X infrared light UTP X radio frequencies STP

18 In an 802.11 compliant WLAN, what is the best way to avoid radio signal interference? reposition antennas X change channels change the throughput options reduce the power levels of the wireless devices

19 Which AP feature makes firmware upgrades and configuration changes much easier? nonvolatile CAM removable radio transceiver hot swappable IEEE 802.11 chips X nonvolatile FLASH ROM

20 Which device is represented by the symbol in the graphic? X wireless bridge wireless AP wireless switch wireless VLAN
