  Answers to Practice Test Questions

 166.  C.  A point-to-multipoint wireless bridge will allow you to connect all three buildings 

together, tying them back to a central location. A mesh network is usually designed for 

endpoints (clients) and not the interconnection of buildings. Point-to-point bridges would 

allow all the buildings to connect to each other, but it would not network them together to 

a central point. Autonomous wireless access points are used for endpoint connectivity and 

not building-to-building connectivity.

 167.  B.  A service set identifier (SSID) can be a maximum of 32 characters in length. The 

wireless access point will associate a MAC address to the SSID so clients can associate to 

the SSID. All of the other options are incorrect.

 168.  D.  The cheapest and most effective solution you could recommend is to install a wireless 

repeater. A wireless repeater will do just that: it will repeat the current wireless signal and 

allow for extra distance. A wireless bridging system is used for connecting buildings or 

locations where running wire is just not possible. A mesh wireless system is probably the 

most expensive option, since it requires infrastructure such as a controller and lightweight 

WAPs. Adding just a wireless LAN controller will not add any benefit.

 169.  A.  A lightweight WAP requires a wireless LAN controller (WLC) to function because 

all data forwarding is controlled by the WLC. A basic service set (BSS) is not a type of 

wireless access point; it is a deployment of wireless. Wireless bridges allow for buildings or 

locations where running cable is not possible to bridge the locations. An autonomous WAP 

is a WAP that can act independently without a WLC.

 170.  A.  A mesh wireless network will allow for coverage of the large area. A mesh network 

will provide the highest bandwidth possible. An autonomous wireless network is 

composed of several wireless access point, but they require direct connection to the wired 

network. A point-to-multipoint wireless bridge is used for connecting buildings together 

to a central point. Wireless repeaters could possibly achieve the coverage, but they would 

do so at the cost of bandwidth.

 171.  B.  Wireless LAN controllers allow trunks to be used so that multiple VLANs can be 

used. Once the VLANs are accessible to the WLC, you need to create one SSID tied to 

the VLAN configured for production and another SSID tied to the VLAN configured 

for guests. Access control lists won’t work because they are implemented at layer 3 and 

wireless signaling operates at layer 2. Dynamic VLANs are VLANs that are associated 

with a host dynamically based upon authentication. Although this option would satisfy 

the segmentation of traffic, it is not the simplest solution to the problem.

 172.  C.  You can build an EtherChannel between routers and wireless controllers to obtain 

more bandwidth when using router on a stick (ROAS). It is supported on certain models of 

routers, such as 4000 series routers. RIP will not balance bandwidth between the wireless 

controller and the router. Wireless controllers will not perform inter-VLAN routing; this 

job requires a router or firewall with routing capabilities.
