CWSP TERMS UPDATED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
802.1x - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅an IEEE standard that uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol
(EAP) framework to authenticate devices attempting to connect to the LAN or WLAN. The process
involves the use of a supplicant to be authenticated, authenticator, and
authentication server.
802.11a - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅amendment that operates in the 5GHz band. It uses OFDM
modulation and is called the OFDM PHY. It can support data rates of up to 54 Mbps.
802.11b - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅An IEEE 802.11 amendment that operates in the 2.4GH2 ISM
band. It uses HRDSSS and earlier technology. It can support data rates of up to 11Mbps.
802.11g - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅An IEEE 802.11 amendment that operates in the 24GHz ISM band.
It uses ERP-OFDM and earlier technology. It can support data rates of up to 54Mbps.
802.11n - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅An IEEE 802.11 amendment that operates in the 2.4 ISM and
5GHz UNII/ISM bands. It uses MIMO, HT-OFDM and earlier technology. It can support data rates of up to
600Mbps
802.11i - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅An 802.11 amendment, now incorporated into the most recent
rollup, which provided security enhancements to the standard and resolved weaknesses in the original
WEP encryption solution. It provided for KIP/RCA (now deprecated) and CCMP/AES cipher suites and
encryption algorithms.
802.11e - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅An 802.11 amendment, now incorporated into the most recent
rollup, that provided quality of service extensions to the wireless link through probabilistic prioritization
based on the contention window: The Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) certification is based on this
amendment.
802.11r - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅An IEEE 802.11 amendment that enables roaming between access
points
