Network ModeNetwork Name (SSID)
Radio Band
Wide Channel
Standard Channel
* SSID Broadcast
12) Which two statements about a service set identifier (SSID) are true? (Choose two.)
* tells a wireless device to which WLAN it belongs
consists of a 32-character string and is not case sensitive
responsible for determining the signal strength
* all wireless devices on the same WLAN must have the same SSIDused to encrypt data sent across the wireless network
13) Which two statements characterize wireless network security? (Choose two.)
Wireless networks offer the same security features as wired networks.
Wardriving enhances security of wireless networks.
* With SSID broadcast disabled, an attacker must know the SSID to connect.
* Using the default IP address on an access point makes hacking easier.
An attacker needs physical access to at least one network device to launch an attack.
14) What type of authentication does an access point use by default?
* Open
PSK
WEP
EAP
15) Which statement is true about open authentication when it is enabled on an access point?
* requires no authentication
uses a 64-bit encryption algorithm
requires the use of an authentication server

17) What is the difference between using open authentication and pre-shared keys?
Open authentication requires a password.
Pre-shared keys do not require a password.
Open authentication is used with wireless networks.
Pre-shared keys are used with wired networks.
* Pre-shared keys require an encrypted secret word.
Open authentication does not require a secret word.
Pre-shared keys require a MAC address programmed into the access point.
Open authentication does not require this programming.
