CWNP Certified Wireless Analysis Professional - CWAP-404 Exam Practice Test

When evaluating modulation and coding schemes, you must determine the best coding rate available.
In 802.11 MCS tables, what is the best coding rate from the perspective of highest data rates?
Correct Answer: A Vote an answer
Shown is a screenshot of a wireless protocol analyzer displaying the decode information for a single 802.11 encrypted data + CF-Poll frame. The infrastructure BSS on which this information was captured is using WEP and this particular frame was sent from a client station (STA) to an access point (AP).

As a protocol analyst, how would you explain the existence of this frame on the wireless medium given the information in the decode?

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?

The network administrator at ABC Engineering has taken a large packet capture from one of their APs running in monitor mode. She has very little knowledge of 802.11 protocols but would like to use the capture file to evaluate the overall health and performance of their wireless network.
When she asks your advice, which tool do you recommend she opens the packet capture file with?

In the frame decode shown, there are two sets of supported data rates. 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps are all shown as "basic" data rates, and 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mbps are shown simply as supported data rates.

What is true of "basic" data rates in this context?

Using a portable analyzer you perform a packet capture next to a client STA and you can see that the STA is associated to a BSS. You observe the STA sending packets to the AP and the AP sending packets to the STA. Less the 2% of all packets are retransmissions. You move to capture packets by the AP and, while the retry rate is still very low, you now only see unidirectional traffic from the AP to the client. How do you explain this behavior?
