QUESTION NO: 1
The IEEE 802.11a/n/ac physical layer technologies utilize the 5 GHz frequency band. What is true ofthe channels in this frequency spectrum?

A. DFS may be required in some regulatory domains on somechannels. B. 11 channels are available worldwide. C. Regulatory domains worldwide require DFS and TPC in all these channels. D. 802.11 channels areseparated by 5 Mhz E. 14 channels are available worldwide.

Correct Answer: A

QUESTION NO: 2
The client devices that connect to your network include a mix of dual-band 802.11n and
8 02.11ac, single-band 802.11b/g/n, and some 802.11a/g/n. Your access points are configured with the same SSID on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The APs are also configured to prioritize client connectivity to 5 GHz.
How does an AP perform band steering to encourage clients to use 5 GHz?

A. The AP may allow an 802.11 association with the client in the 2.4 GHz band, then the
AP may perform a transparent client handoff by transferring the client's MAC address to the
5 GHz radio. B. The AP may ignore the initial probe requests or 802.11 authentication requests sent in the 2.4 GHz band by dual-band clients C. The AP may allow an 802.11 association with the client in the 2.4 GHz band, then send unicast channel switch announcements to the client announcing the 5 GHz channel as the new channel. D. When the client sends a probe request in the 2.4GHz band, the AP may reply with information about the 5 GHz BSS.

Correct Answer: B

QUESTION NO: 3
What term correctly completes the following sentence?
802.11a/b/g used a mandatory 800ns guard interval. 802.11n introduced anoptional short
400ns guard interval. Guard intervals (GI) are necessary in OFDM to reduce the likelihood of interference between two consecutive ____________.

A. Bits B. Frames C. Symbols D. Packets

Correct Answer: C

QUESTION NO: 4

A. Layer 4 protocol availability analysis results B. Application Layer protocol availability analysisresults C. Capacity analysis results D. WAN interface analysis results

Correct Answer: C

QUESTION NO: 5
How is throughput capacity scaled in a single channel architecture (SCA) WLAN system?

A. By increasing transmit power and placing APs that are on a single channel farther from one another. B. By using downlink data compression and uplink flow control at the AP. C. By adding non-overlapping channel layers through the addition of more APs. D. By adding more SSIDs to existing APs to spread users across different contention domains.

Correct Answer: C

QUESTION NO: 6

A. MAC address white lists B. SSID hiding C. CAPWAP with DTLS D. 802.1X/EAP E. IPSec VPN F. CCMP cipher suite

Correct Answer: D,F

QUESTION NO: 7
What statements accurately describe the RF cables and connectors that are used in an
802.11 WLAN system? (Choose 3)

A. RF cables have upper and lower frequency range specifications. B. Every RF connector causes insertion loss. C. 75 and 125 ohms are the typical impedances of 802.11 WLAN connectors. D. Two RF connectors of the same type (e.g. SMA), manufactured by different companies, may vary in specifications. E. Large diameter RF cables cause greater loss than smalldiameter cables.

Correct Answer: A,B,D
