  1. What does CAPWAP stand for in Cisco wireless deployments?

    Answer: Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points

    CAPWAP (Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points) is the protocol that enables communication between lightweight APs and a Wireless LAN Controller.

  2. Which type of wireless attack involves setting up a rogue AP with the same SSID as a legitimate network to intercept traffic?

    Answer: Evil Twin attack

    An Evil Twin attack creates a rogue access point mimicking a legitimate SSID to trick users into connecting and expose their traffic to interception.

  3. What is the primary purpose of a wireless site survey?

    Answer: To determine optimal AP placement for coverage and capacity

    A wireless site survey evaluates the physical environment to determine optimal AP placement, identify interference sources, and plan for adequate coverage and capacity.

  4. Which 802.11 feature allows a client to request its AP to suggest better APs to roam to, improving overall network efficiency?

    Answer: 802.11k (Radio Resource Management)

    802.11k allows clients to request a neighbor report from their current AP, receiving a list of candidate APs for roaming based on radio resource management data.

  5. In wireless networking, what does SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) measure?

    Answer: The ratio of desired signal power to background noise power

    SNR measures the difference between the received signal strength and the background noise floor, with higher values (typically >20 dB) indicating better wireless link quality.

  6. What is the default management VLAN on a Cisco Catalyst switch when used in conjunction with a wireless LAN controller?

    Answer: VLAN 1

    VLAN 1 is the default management VLAN on Cisco Catalyst switches, though Cisco best practices recommend changing the native VLAN away from VLAN 1 for security.
