Q

For QoS, switch uplinks should always be considered as ____ _____?

trusted ports

38
Q

How much BW does a PSTN connection use?

A

63 kbps

39
Q

How much BW does a voip connection use?

A

12 kbps with headers and compression

40
Q

How do Cisco IP phones communicate with the CCM?

A

with the skinny protocol

41
Q

What does the skinny protocol do?

A

transmits keystrokes from phone and commands from CCM

42
Q

How do IP phones communicate with each other?

A

Once the CCM gives them the parameters, they use RTP

43
Q

What is RTP?

A

Real-time Transport Protocol

44
Q

What is the standard for WLANs?

A

802.11

45
Q

What duplex setting does 802.11 use and why?

A

half because transmitting and receiving stations use the same frequency

46
Q

What feedback mechanism does wireless use?

A

when a wireless station transmits a frame, the receiving one must send an ack

47
Q

If a wireless station needs to transmit and no other device is transmitting, what happens?

A

The station can transmit immediately and wait for an ack

48
Q

If a wireless station needs to transmit and another device is transmitting, what happens?

A

The station must wait until the frame in progress has completed, then wait a random amount of time before transmitting

49
Q

What is the DIFS?

A

The DCF interframe space- the random backoff time before a wireless set can transmit

50
Q

What is the duration time in a wireless frame?

A

Each frame transmits its expected duration time

51
Q

What is DCF?

A

Distributed coordinion function - the use of timers to prevent wireless collisions

52
Q

What is a service set?

A

A group of wireless devices that share a common SSID

53
Q

What is an IBSS?

A

the wireless clients communicate directly with no other means of connectivity such as a WAP

54
Q

What is a BSS?

A

Using a single WAP to centralize access and control over a group of wireless devices.

55
Q

What must be in common for a BSS to form?

A

matching SSID, compatible data rate, authentication credentials

56
Q

What is an ESS?

A

When the AP uplinks to an Ethernet network.

57
Q

How are multiple VLANs mapped to multiple SSIDs?

A

By using a trunk link

58
Q

What is a cell?

A

An AP’s coverage area

59
Q

What must you be sure of if AP cells overlap?

A

That they aren’t using the same frequencies.

60
Q

What is layer 2 roaming?

A

If the client maintains the same IP address as it roams between Aps. All must have same VLAN, SSID, and subnet

61
Q

What is layer 3 roaming?

A

When a client roams between Aps in different subnets

62
Q

What is a microcell?

A

When the size of a cell is intentionally reduced

63
Q

What is an autonomous mode AP?

A

When each AP stands alone within the larger network.

64
Q

What functions does a LAP perform?

A

Real-time functions such as beacons and probes, encryption and interactions with the client at L2

65
Q

What functions does a WLC perform?

A

Control functions

66
Q

How does an LAP bind with a WLC?

A

by brining up a tunnel between them to carry 802.11 related messages and client data.

67
Q

Does a WLC and a LAP need to be on the same subnet?

A

No

68
Q

What 2 tunnelling mechanisms do the LAP and WLC use to communicate?

A

LWAPP (Cisco proprietary) and CAP-WAP (standards based)

69
Q

How many tunnels exist between the LAP and WLC?

A

2 - one for control messages and one for data

70
Q

How does a LAP and a WLC authenticate between each other?

A

using digital certificates

71
Q

What are the 5 steps a LAP uses to establish communication with a WLC?

A

1-LAP gets a DHCP address, 2-LAP learns IP of available WLC, 3-LAP sends a join request to WLC and receives join reply, 4-WLC sends code image, if necessary, 5-Tunnels are created

72
Q

How does a DHCP server send WLC addresses?

A

Option 43

73
Q

What does a LAP do if it loses communication with it’s WLC?

A

Reboots and searches for a new WLC

74
Q

How does a WLC hand off a client’s association to another WLC?

A

using a mobility exchange message

75
Q

How is a WLC handoff handled when the WLCs are in different subnets?

A

by using an Ether-IP tunnel

76
Q

What is a wireless mobility group?

A

A client can roam to any WLC as long as it stays in a mobility group

77
Q

How should the switch port to which an autonomous AP be configured?

A

trunk

78
Q

How should the switch port to which a LAP be configured?

A

access

79
Q

A

distribution

80
Q

How should the switch port to which a WLC be configured?

A

trunk

81
Q

If the WLC connects to an Etherchannel, how should the channel be configured and why?

A

they should be an unconditional Etherchannel because the WLC can’t negotiate a channel.

A

10-15%

83
Q

How much overlap should a wireless repeater have?
