CWNP Certified Wireless Analysis Professional Sample Questions:

1. Several users have reported WLAN network connection issues and the users connect to the same AP. These users are spread throughout a 320 square meter area. Using a spectrum analyzer, you see RF energy across the entire 2.4 GHz band at significant signal strength levels. The users all connect using either HT or ERP devices.
What is the likely cause of this problem within this area?

A) Wide-band jammer
B) Video camera
C) Microwave oven
D) Bluetooth devices

2. You have been asked to recommend a solution for protocol capture of 802.11 frames consisting of 3x3:3 802.11ac communications. The requirement specifies that you gain a general view of a coverage area and does not require that you capture from specific user locations. The solution must be the least expensive practical solution possible that does not disrupt user access to the WLAN and it must be based on enterprise WLAN hardware.
What solution would you recommend so that any coverage area could be monitored on demand?

A) Install the minimum number of Aps required for coverage and use these Aps for protocol analysis as needed
B) Install sufficient Aps so that an AP can be taken offline to perform protocol analysis as needed
C) Install laptop-based protocol analyzer near each AP
D) Install Wireshark on the Aps natively to allow dynamic capture while serving clients

3. Recently, three rogue APs have been connected to the network and later discovered. You want to prevent future rogue AP installations as much as possible.
What is the first step to eliminating or reducing rogue APs on the network?

A) Create a hash of the MAC addresses of all authorized devices and continually scan for non-matching hashes
B) Enable rogue detection in the existing authorized APs
C) Use IPSec between every AP and the network infrastructure
D) Define a direct policy that stipulates the ramifications of installing unauthorized devices

4. What element was added to the general frame of 802.11 with the 802.11e amendment and the 802.11-2007 rollup?

A) QoS Control
B) Address 4
C) RSN-IE
D) HT Control

5. You are troubleshooting a connection problem with a client STA. Regardless of the AP to which it attempts to connect, the connection fails. Using a wired protocol analyzer, you determine that the problem is with the 802.1X/EAP authentication to the RADIUS server.
What layer or range of layers of the OSI model revealed this information?

A) Above Layer 4
B) Below Layer 3
C) Layer 2
D) Layer 3
