CWNP Certified Wireless Analysis Professional Sample Questions:
ABC corporation has an 802.11n wireless network and advertises 3 SSIDs on all APs: Corporate, Guest, and BYOD. Both the Guest and the BYOD networks broadcast their SSIDs but the corporate SSID is hidden. A client transmits a Wildcard\Any Probe Request frame on channel 36.
From the client's location it can decode beacons frames from two of the organization's APs operating on channel 36. How many Probe Response frames would you expect this client to decode from ABC corporation's APs?
- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 4
- D. 6

An HT STA does not receive an ACK for a first-attempt data frame that it transmitted. Assuming this STA is not using BlockAcks in this case, what happens to the HT STA's EDCA contention window?
- A. The contention window is not affected by failed Data frame delivery.
- B. The contention window approximately doubles in size.
- C. The contention window is immediately closed, and the frame is retransmitted.
- D. The slot time within the contention window decreases by 50%.
- E. It varies because the backoff algorithm is random.
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
