CCNA 200-125 Exam: Wireless Questions With Answers

Many Cisco access points offer single or double (dual) radio (2.4 and 5.0 GHz).

Note: The wireless controller automates wireless configuration and management functions. It does not connect directly to users.

Cisco Wireless is designed to provide 802.11 wireless networking solutions for enterprises and service providers. Cisco Wireless simplifies deploying and managing large-scale wireless LANs and enables a unique best-in-class security infrastructure. The operating system manages all data client, communications, and system administration functions, performs radio resource management (RRM) functions, manages system-wide mobility policies using the operating system security solution, and coordinates all security functions using the operating system security framework.

Star is the most popular topology for Ethernet topology but hub and spoke is the most appropriate WAN topology.

In a Hub-and-spoke network topology, one physical site act as Hub (Example, Main Office or Head Quarter), while other physical sites act as spokes. Spoke sites are connected to each other via Hub site. In Hub-and-spoke topology, the network communication between two spokes always travel through the hub (except when using DMVPN Phase II or Phase III where spokes can communicate with each other directly). The networking device at Hub site is often much more powerful than the ones at spoke sites.

Hub and spoke is an ideal topology when most of the resources lie at the Hub site and the branch sites only need to access to the Hub.

Note: Although some books may say Hub-and-spoke and Star topologies are the same but in fact they have difference. When talking about Hub-and-spoke we often think about the communication between Hub site and Spoke sites. When talking about Star we think about the communication between end devices.

WiMAX is short for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. WiMAX is a family of wireless communication standards based on the IEEE 802.16 set of standards.

Satellite Internet provides Internet access via satellite. It is a form of wireless broadband technology. But it is usually slower than DSL and cable modem.

Municipal wireless network is a city-wide wireless network. This is usually done by providing municipal broadband via Wi-Fi to large parts or all of a municipal area by deploying a wireless mesh network. The typical deployment design uses hundreds of wireless access points deployed outdoors, often on poles.

DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) is a network device, usually at a telephone company central office, that receives signals from multiple customer Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connections and puts the signals on a high-speed backbone line using multiplexing techniques. It is a cable technology, not a wireless technology.

Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS) is a piece of equipment, typically located in a cable company’s headend or hubsite, which is used to provide high speed data services, such as cable Internet or Voice over Internet Protocol, to cable subscribers. It is a cable technology, not a wireless technology.

The APIC-EM Path Trace ACL Analysis Tool can display the ACLs that are using (by downloading the configurations after a specific period of time and shows them when we do a path trace). Therefore it helps verify the ACLs more easily.

802.11g is only compatible with 802.11b, not 802.11a so when 802.11a node broadcast, 802.11g access point cannot receive it.
