HP Implementing HP MSM Wireless Networks Sample Questions:
1. Refer to the exhibit.
A network administrator needs to configure a dynamic wireless mesh to connect HP MSM
AP 1 to the network.
AP 1 will be installed outdoors where Ethernet is not available. It will connect to AP2ortoAP3; one of which will provide the primary link and one of which will act as backup. Both AP 2 and AP 3 have connections to the Ethernet network and should not connect to each other.
What are appropriate roles for the three APs?
A) 1 = Slave; 2 = Alternate master; 3 = Alternate master
B) 1 = Slave; 2 = Master; 3 = Master
C) 1 = Slave; 2 = Master 3 = Alternate master
D) 1 = Alternate master; 2 = Alternate master; 3 = Alternate master
2. Which 802.11 frames can be sent at any supported rate (as opposed to the basic rate)?
A) Management frames
B) Multicast frames
C) Broadcast frames
D) Unicast frames
3. Which advantage does Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) provide over Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)?
A) TKIP uses a more robust block cipher mechanism.
B) TKIP uses a stronger encryption algorithm.
C) TKIP allows for key distribution through 802.1X.
D) TKIP encrypts each new frame with a different key.
4. Which devices negotiate the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method during the 802.1X authentication process?
A) only the authenticator and authentication server
B) the station, authenticator, and authentication server
C) only the station and authentication server
D) only the station and authenticator
5. Users report that the 802.11n wireless network is extremely slow. The network
administrator suspects that the problem is occurring because of a hidden node.
Which mechanism is a solution for this problem?
A) Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA)
B) Reduced Inter-Frame Spacing (RIFS)
C) CTS-to-Self
D) Short Guard Interval (SGI)
