A Management frame body is made up on which two components?

  1. Fields and elements
  2. Flags and fields
  3. Preambles and headers
  4. Headers and footers

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A management frame body in 802.11 is composed of fixed fields (mandatory, consistent structure) and information elements (variable-length, optional or protocol-specific data). This structure allows flexible communication of network information.



A STAs Network Allocation Vector (NAV) is updated by which field in RTS and CTS frames?

  1. NAV
  2. Length
  3. Timestamp
  4. Duration

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The Duration field in RTS and CTS frames specifies the amount of time the medium will be reserved for the ensuing transmission. Other STAs use this value to update their Network Allocation Vector (NAV) to avoid transmitting during that period.



Where, in an 802.11 Beacon frame, will you see the parameters used for QoS in the BSS?

  1. QoS Control field in the MAC Header
  2. QoS field in PHY header
  3. WMM Information Element
  4. EDCA Information field in the MAC Header

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) Information Element in a Beacon frame advertises the QoS parameters of the BSS, including EDCA settings for different access categories. This allows clients to understand and use the QoS capabilities of the network.



The ABC organization has recently installed an 802.11ac wave 2 network. They have seen no improvement in the WLAN performance. The network administrator has noticed that his Wi-Fi client is not using 802.11ac data rates and has asked you to troubleshoot the issue. After examining the Beacon frames from the APs, you are able to explain the problem.
Which part of the beacon frame allowed you to troubleshoot this problem?

  1. The RSN element in the beacon frame indicates that TKIP is the cipher suite used on this network.
  2. The Supported Data Rates element indicates clients only support lower data rates.
  3. The Country Code element indicates that only OFDM data rates are available in this region.
  4. The SSID element is hidden, so client stations are unable to correctly identify the supported data rates.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

802.11ac requires the use of AES-CCMP for encryption. If the RSN element shows TKIP, clients will not use 802.11ac rates because TKIP is incompatible with the high-throughput PHY features, explaining why no performance improvement is observed.



How many address fields does an ACK frame contain?

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

An ACK frame is a control frame used to acknowledge receipt of a data or management frame. It contains only a single address field, the Receiver Address (RA), which identifies the station being acknowledged.



You have been engaged by ABC corporation to troubleshoot a WLAN problem. Users have been reporting random disconnections. You perform Spectrum Analysis as part of your troubleshooting process and notice a frequency hopping signal across the entire 2.4 GHz band. The signal amplitude is -65 dBm and has a duty cycle of 5%.
What do you conclude about this frequency hopping signal?

  1. The high amplitude of this signal is overpowering the Wi-Fi clients resulting in the disconnections.
  2. The low duty cycle means this signal is very unlikely to be the cause of the disconnections.
  3. Interference from frequency hopping signals always results in client disconnections.
  4. Only clients with a lower signal strength will be disconnected.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A duty cycle of 5% indicates the frequency hopping signal is active only a small fraction of the time. Even though the amplitude is -65 dBm, its short presence means it rarely overlaps with Wi-Fi transmissions, making it unlikely to cause the reported random disconnections.



Which one of the following provides the most accurate indication that packets have not been successfully received by the intended recipient?

  1. CRC errors
  2. Retries
  3. Gaps in sequence numbers
  4. Data packets being sent at low data rates

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Gaps in sequence numbers in captured frames indicate that one or more packets were not successfully received by the intended recipient, providing a direct and reliable indication of lost frames. CRC errors or retries suggest issues but do not always confirm packet loss to the receiver.



What is the maximum number of client stations that can receive concurrent OFDMA transmissions from an 802.11ax AP in a 20 MHz channel?

  1. 9
  2. 4
  3. 2
  4. 1

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), a 20 MHz channel can be divided into up to nine 2–RUs (Resource Units) for OFDMA, allowing the AP to transmit concurrently to a maximum of nine client stations in a single OFDMA downlink transmission.
