PW0-100 Wireless LAN Administration, Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA) (Page 13 )

WECA requires which of the following WEP security settings for Wi-Fi certification?

  1. Single 104-bit key.
  2. Dial 40-bit keys.
  3. Single 128-bit key.
  4. Single 40-bit key.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The 802.11 standard leaves WEP implementation up to wireless LAN manufacturers, so each vendor's implementation of WEP keys may or may not be the same, adding another weakness to WEP. Even WECA's Wi-Fi interoperability standard tests include only 40- bit WEP keys.
Among WECA's list of interoperability checks is the use of 40-bit WEP keys. Note that 40- and 64-bit keys are the same thing. A 40-bit "secret" key is concatenated with a 24- bit Initialization Vector (IV) to reach the 64-bits. In the same manner, 104- and 128-bit keys are the same. WECA does not specify interoperability of 128-bit keys; hence, no compatibility is to be expected between vendors displaying the Wi-Fi seal when using 128-bit WEP keys.



Under the 802.11 standard, what modulation is used when transmitting data using FHSS?

  1. CCK
  2. GFSK
  3. BPSK
  4. QPSK

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

(DQPSK), and Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK) are the types of modulation used by 802.11 and 802.11b products on the market today.Bluetooth and HomeRF are both FHSS technologies that use GFSK modulation technology in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
Differential Quadrature Phase Shift Keying



Which of the following features are found in wireless Residential Gateways? (Choose all that apply)

  1. DHCP client
  2. 802.1q
  3. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
  4. Network Address Translation (NAT)
  5. PPPoE
  6. 802.1x
  7. 802.11c

Answer(s): A,D,E

Explanation:

Residential wireless gateways are now available with VPN technology, as well as NAT, DHCP, PPPoE, WEP, MAC filters, and perhaps even a built-in firewall.These devices are sufficient for small office or home office environments with few workstations and a shared connection to the Internet. Costs of these units vary greatly depending on their range of offered services. Some of the high-end units even boast static routing and RIPv2.



Which of these WLAN devices cause loss in the RF signal path? (Choose all that apply)

  1. Cable
  2. Connector
  3. Amplifier
  4. Attenuator
  5. Inducer
  6. Inductor

Answer(s): A,B,D

Explanation:

An RF attenuator is a device that causes precisely measured loss (in -dB) in an RF signal.
While an amplifier will increase the RF signal, an attenuator will decrease it.



Beacon frames are used for? (Choose two)

  1. Time synchronization.
  2. Passing channel selection information.
  3. Limiting data requests.
  4. Reserving the medium for QoS implementations.

Answer(s): A,B

Explanation:

According to the book, the beacon frames are used for time synchroniztion and channel information (for DSSS and FHSS).
