What does a wireless client do first when its countdown timer reaches zero and it receives a Transmit Opportunity (TXOP)?

  1. It immediately sends its Data Frames and receives an ACK from the AP.
  2. It sends a CTS-to-self announcement to the ESP gateway.
  3. It sends a CTS-to-self announcement to the AP and all other clients.
  4. It sends a reassociation request frame to the AP and sends its Data Frames.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

When a wireless client's countdown timer (also known as a backoff timer) reaches zero during contention-based access periods, and it receives a Transmit Opportunity (TXOP), it has the right to transmit its data frames on the medium. After sending the data frames, it expects an acknowledgment (ACK) from the Access Point (AP) to ensure the frames were received successfully.



A network technician is verifying that a customer successfully connected to the guest network after completing the captive portal. The network technician looks at the access tracker in ClearPass.
Which role should be seen when looking at the OUTPUT tab for the customer's session?

  1. Guest authenticated
  2. Captive portal login
  3. Captive portal redirect
  4. Guest logon

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In the access tracker of ClearPass, after a customer successfully connects to a guest network through a captive portal, the OUTPUT tab should show a role indicating that the user is authenticated, such as "Guest authenticated." This role confirms that the user has passed the authentication process and has been granted access.

You are in a meeting with a customer where you are asked to explain how the network redundancy feature VRRP works.
What is the correct statement for this feature?

  1. VRRP uses BPDUs for messaging
  2. VRRP uses multicast for messaging
  3. VRRP uses unicast for messaging
  4. VRRP uses broadcast for messaging

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a network protocol that provides automatic assignment of available Internet Protocol (IP) routers to participating hosts. VRRP sends its messages over multicast for communication among routers for the election process of the master and advertisement of the virtual IP address.



What information is required when using the ClearPass self-service registration page to generate a Multiple Pre-Shared Key (MPSK) for headless devices?

  1. The device's model number
  2. The device's MAC address
  3. The device's IP address
  4. The device's OS type

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When generating a Multiple Pre-Shared Key (MPSK) for headless devices using the ClearPass self- service registration page, the MAC address of the device is required. MPSK associates a unique PSK with the MAC address of a device, providing a way to authenticate devices that may not have a user interface.
