41. What are some of the different types of wireless topologies that can be created?
ANSWER: Some of the different types of wireless topologies are as follows:
* ad hoc-A small number of nodes closely positioned transmit directly to each other without
an intervening connectivity device.
* infrastructure-An intervening connectivity device, a WAP (wireless access point) or AP
(access point), accepts wireless signals from multiple nodes and retransmits them to the rest
of the network. To cover its intended range, an access point must have sufficient power and
be strategically placed so that all connected nodes can communicate with it.
* mesh-Several access points work as peer devices on the same network, where the AP
devices cooperate to provide more fault tolerant network access to clients. A wireless
controller might be used only initially to configure the APs, or the APs might remain
connected to the wireless controller for continued management.

QUESTION TYPE: Subjective Short Answer
42. Describe the 802.11a standard, and detail some of its history and advantages / disadvantages versus other
802.11 standards.
ANSWER: Although the 802.11a task group began its standards work before the 802.11b group, 802.11a
was released after 802.11b. The higher throughput of 802.11a, as compared with 802.11b, is
attributable to its use of higher frequencies, its unique method of modulating data, and more
available bandwidth. Perhaps most significant is that the 5-GHz band is not as congested as
the 2.4-GHz band. Thus, 802.11a signals are less likely to suffer interference from
microwave ovens, cordless phones, motors, and other (incompatible) wireless LAN signals.
However, higher-frequency signals require more power to transmit, and they travel shorter
distances than lower-frequency signals. As a result, 802.11a networks require a greater
density of access points between the wired LAN and wireless clients to cover the same

Name: Class: Date:

distance that 802.11b networks cover. The additional access points, as well as the nature of
802.11a equipment, make this standard more expensive than either 802.11b or 802.11g. For
this and other reasons, 802.11a is rarely preferred.
POINTS: 1
43. What is the hidden node problem, and how can it be mitigated?
ANSWER: The hidden node problem occurs where a node is not visible to other nodes on the other side
of a coverage area. One way to ensure that packets are not inhibited by other transmissions is
to reserve the medium for one station's use. In 802.11, this can be accomplished through the
optional RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) protocol. RTS/CTS enables a source
node to issue an RTS signal to an access point requesting the exclusive opportunity to
transmit. If the access point agrees by responding with a CTS signal, the access point
temporarily suspends communication with all stations in its range and waits for the source
node to complete its transmission.
POINTS: 1
44. Most wireless devices use one of two technologies to avoid interference. What are these technologies?
ANSWER: The two technologies used are as follows:
* FHSS (frequency hopping spread spectrum)-Short bursts of data are transmitted on a
particular frequency within the band and the next burst goes to the next frequency in the
sequence. Frequency hopping can happen hundreds of times a second. FHSS is cheaper to
implement than DSSS and performs better than DSSS in crowded, indoor environments.
* DSSS (direct sequence spread spectrum)-Data streams are divided and encoded into small
chunks, called chips, which are spread over all available frequencies within one of three,
wide channels, all at the same time. The process of dividing and encoding the data is called
chipping, and the spreading ratio used to transform the data is called the chipping code,
which is unique to each device. DSSS uses the available bandwidth more efficiently than
FHSS and tends to have a higher throughput.

45. Radiation patterns can be used to classify antennas into what two basic categories?
ANSWER: The two basic categories that antennas can be classified under are:
* unidirectional antenna (also called a directional antenna)-Issues wireless signals along a
single direction. This type is used when the source needs to communicate with one
destination, as in a point-to-point link, or in a specific area. A satellite downlink (for
example, the kind used to receive digital TV signals) uses directional antennas
* omnidirectional antenna-Issues and receives wireless signals with equal strength and clarity
in all directions. This type is used when many different receivers must be able to pick up the
signal in many directions, or when the receiver's location is highly mobile. TV and radio
stations use omnidirectional antennas, as do most towers that transmit cellular signals.
POINTS: 1
46. Why should an access point not always utilize all the power it has for broadcasting wireless signals?
ANSWER: Each access point's power level, or the strength of the signal the access point emits, should be
optimized for the geographic area covered by that AP. Power levels that are too low will
result in dropped signals as clients roam to the peripheral areas of the AP's range. However,
maxed out power levels will result in too much overlap between AP coverage areas, causing
clients from other coverage areas to attempt to connect with APs that are farther away but
transmitting the stronger signal.
POINTS: 1
47. When deciding antenna types, why might the use of an omnidirectional antenna be inadvisable?
ANSWER: You might think that omnidirectional antennas would nearly always be the best
choice when setting up Wi-Fi coverage. The idea is to place the AP in the center of its
coverage area, then send the signal out in all directions. However, in many situations,
installing unidirectional antennas instead will enhance a signal's availability, directing
Name: Class: Date:

the signal right where you need it while not wasting a signal in areas where you don't.
For example, suppose a company installs an omnidirectional antenna near a factory's
30-foot high ceiling. Because the antenna's signal is broadcast in all directions from
its location, distributing its signal strength in a spherical shape, the best possible
signal would only be available to workers who could walk on the ceiling-obviously,
that's not a viable situation. To be useful, the signal needs to be directed down to the
floor. A unidirectional antenna, in this case, can be positioned up high and pointed
down to create a dome-shaped coverage that spreads out as it nears the plant floor
POINTS: 1
48. What is the difference between war driving and war chalking?
ANSWER: In war driving, a hacker searches for unprotected wireless networks by driving around with a
laptop or smartphone configured to receive and capture wireless data transmissions. (The
term is derived from the term war dialing, which is a similar tactic involving old, dial-up
modems.) War driving is surprisingly effective for obtaining private information. War
chalking occurs when a hacker discovers vulnerable access points, and makes this
information public by drawing symbols with chalk on the sidewalk or wall within range of a
wireless network. The symbols, patterned after marks that hobos devised to indicate
hospitable places for food or rest, indicate the access point's SSID and whether it's secured.
Alternatively, many websites offer maps of these open networks, as reported by war drivers.
POINTS: 1
49. How does configuration of wireless clients for wireless access in an enterprise environment differ from
normal setup?
ANSWER: In an enterprise environment, configuring clients for wireless access to the network
can entail a much more involved, two-part process:
* on-boarding-Users or network technicians install a specific app, called an agent, on a user's
device, whether the device is a smartphone, laptop, or tablet. This gives the device trusted
access to certain portions of the network. Access to email services, file-sharing services, and
certain network administrative features might all be controlled by the device's permission
levels enabled by on-boarding that device.
* off-boarding-The reverse procedure involves removing the agent. For security purposes,

network administrators need a feature that allows them to do this remotely, in case a device is
lost or stolen. This feature, called a remote wipe, clears a device of all important information,
permissions, and apps without having physical access to the device. It might even allow you
to completely disable the device, making any network or data access impossible.
POINTS: 1
50. Why should the WPS PIN feature be avoided if possible?

ANSWER: WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a user-friendly but not very secure-security setting available
on some consumer-grade APs. Part of the security involves requiring a PIN (personal
identification number) in order to access the AP's settings or to associate a new device with
the network. The problem is that the PIN can be easily cracked through a brute force attack,
which means simply trying numerous possible character combinations to find the correct
combination. This gives the attacker access to the network's WPA2 key.
