I think the correct answer is B, because to enable Wireless management it would have to connect before via Wired…

Thanks a lot Dan :)

You are about to use a hotel’s guest wireless services using a wireless laptop. Which three items do you need
to establish a wireless connection? (Choose three.)
A. SSID name
B. RF channel
C. RF signal
D. 802.1X/EAP credentials
E. pre-shared key
F. web page
G. WPA/WPA2 settings
What is your comments?_

@guardian, I would say A, E, G.

@guardian, in all the dumps, it is showing a, c, f as correct answers. But my understanding of this question is, it is asking for what are the things that we need to configure in the client side to connect to the hotel wifi. RF signal is not something that we need to configure in the client device, nor we do configure a “webpage” for connecting to wifi. Just for the sake of this question, if we think of a windows laptop for example, then 3 most likely things we need to select before connecting to wifi will be SSID, WPA/WPA2 and a preshared key.

How can the incomplete questions on the 437 be helpful? Looks like you are advertising. Feel free to provide more information on the new questions. Seems to be many questions above.

From the dump,
Which encryption algorithm does WPA use?
A. RC4
B. DES
C. AES
D. DH5
Correct Answer: A
It should be wrong since WPA uses TKIP or AES
I think the answer is C. Any comment?

@guardian, answer is C

Which three items do you need to establish a wireless connection to an enterprise wireless network? (Choose
three.)
A. SSID name
B. RF channel
C. RF signal
D. 802.1X/EAP credentials
E. pre-shared key
F. web page
G. WPA/WPA2 settings
As per dump, a c d correct answer. Could someone please explain why?

@tintin
I think that the question didn’t ask the configuration we need, It simply asks for Which three items do you need
to establish a wireless connection?
We need RF signal ok. C
We need SSID name ok A
In chapter 16 of OCG it uses open authentication so D, E and G is wrong.
The rest are B and F . For web authention we need a web page to let authentication process begin.
So A, C and F seems to be right choices.

WPA uses TKIP, which uses RC4 128-bit encryption.

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
The RC4 stream cipher is used with a 128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet. Used by WPA.

@Logan
OCG says that at pg 343
Also notice that WPA can support either TKIP or AES for its data privacy and integrity,
while WPA2 supports only AES.

It is really confusing.

Another question in 411q dump I want to discuss is,
QUESTION 340
When using multiple SSIDs on a lightweight AP, how does the traffic of each SSID reach the 802.3 network?
A. provide routing between them at the core so that the SSIDs can reach the internet
B. configure 802.11q trunking on the Ethernet switch port that is connected to the AP
C. configure ACLs at the switch port that will allow all desired SSIDs to pass traffic
D. configure the SSIDs on the WLC and it will regulate the trafficbased on traffic type
Correct Answer: B
For LWAP trafic for each SSID must go toı WLC and then go to wired network. So LWAP use an access port to reach WLC via CAPWAP tunnel. So B is for automous AP not for LWAP

@Logan
Eveybody mention about 437Q but the dump we are discussing on is 411Q. If you have the whole 437Q pdf please share with us.

@Logan
Below question is related to question we discuss, the correct answer is B. So WPA can use both TKIP and AES.
QUESTION 359
What encryption standards describe WPA and WPA2?
A. WPA mandates AES with TKIP optional, WPA2 mandates TKIP
B. WPA mandates TKIP with AES optional, WPA2 mandates AES
C. WPA mandates CKIP, WPA2 mandates AES
D. WPA mandates CKIP with AES optimal, WPA2 mandates AES

@guardian

Question 340:
You are correct that the answer is wrong the way it is written. The answer should be D if we are talking about a LAP and B if it is autonomous.

Question 359:
Logan is correct. While WPA does support AES as an option, it was designed with TKIP (RC4) in mind. AES had just recently been out when WPA arrived. From what I can gather, cards back then that supported WPA did not support AES an an option until later.

Those recent comments really had a lot of sense compare to previous ones that kept on asking for a copy of this and that. Keep ’em coming guys. This really helps me a lot. Thanks very much for the shared knowledge and ideas.

I returned now from the test, I passed score 938. No drag and drop, no Lab, no WCS, no GUI WLC. I used 411q, video lessons and the comments of this forum on the new issues. I m from Brasil.

Good Job Dan,

Did you happen to see any form of this question? I think this was on the test I failed.

What is required form the deployment when using voice or video applications (choose 3)

A. RSSI cell edge of -25
B. RSSI cell edge of -16
C. SNR of ?
D Pending

Answer D

Thanks to all that are helping. I hope to be able to come back and say passed!!

I have done CWNA before and just found the following from the CWNA book:

Authentication Encryption Cipher
WPA-personal WPA-PSK TKIP RC4
WPA-enterprise 802.1X/EAP TKIP RC4

WPA2-personal WPA2-PSK CCMP(mandatory) AES(mandatory)
TKIP (optional) TKIP (Optional)

WPA2-enterprise 802.1X/EAP CCMP(mandatory) AES(mandatory)
TKIP (Optional) TKIP (Optional)

@Dan, which video lesson you took may I ask? CBT nuggets or something else?

Which three items are allowed on an Ethernet trunk port? (Choose three.)

A. autonomous AP
B. FlexConnect AP
C. local AP
D. monitor AP
E. rogue detector AP
F. sniffer AP
G. SE-Connect AP
H. Cisco WLC

I am gonna go with B, E, H. Could someone please correct me if I am wrong? As per dump, answer is A, B, E. But my understanding is with a single SSID, is okay to connect an autonomous AP with an access port instead of a trunk.

Hi everyone!
You can find 437Q dump on C e r t c o l l e c t I o n o r g.

A customer mounted three new APs in a small business. After configuring the IP address, users still could not
access the web through the new access points. What two configurations are needed to fix this? (Choose two.)
A. Security parameters
B. Gateway address
C. Service Set ID
D. Antenna option
E. EAP Authentication
F. Unique APName
C is one of the 2 correct answers, what would be the other 1 between option A & B? Any help would be much appreciated.

@Foxx
If I were on the exam, My answer would be also A for the below question. I just try to understand that how AES is an option in WPA? There is no checkbox in WLC to use AES in WPA but OCG says it is an option.
Which encryption algorithm does WPA use?
A. RC4
B. DES
C. AES
D. DH5

@Dan
Congtrats to you. You said that 411q is enough to pass. The others mention about 437Q which you know we could not find till now. Can you mention about the questions you face, those are not in 411q as far as you remember?

All the future test takers, are you skipping the WCS questions and the lab questions in the 411q? Seems like people are not getting questions on WCS or any lab in the exam.

I just look at WCS, drag and drop and lab questions for learning. I think they will not be on the exam we face. We must focus on the new questions those are not in 411Q pdf.

@Bob About using voice and video, just follow the idea of the 20% overlap, RSSI -67, SNR 25db is recommended in the cisco documentation.

@Tintin I used CBT nuggets…

@guardian The 411q is not enough alone, it helps with at least 60% of the test, has to focus on the new issues mentioned here in the forum, and have the idea that in the exam the questions are not the same as the 411q, most dump issues Which has 3 options of answer, in the test are only two and sometimes the answers are a variation similar to what is in the dump …

I’m sorry for my English, which is not very good … lol

@Dan
Can you mention about the questions you face, those are not in 411q as far as you remember?

Q. 233 in 411q on “”What is fading”, could someone please have a look and discuss the right answer?

Hello, I recommend to everyone the IMM document already posted a few weeks ago, several issues present in the document were in my test. They are valid.

I passed with 960

Could someone consolidate the corrected questions with the corrected answers? Ill be taking my exam in 3 days. Will make sure to give qualitative feedback. Please and Thank you!

This is confusing for me as well. It is said that the answer is C using “none” username, but on the explanation, it is said that the default username is “cisco”.

QUESTION 98
Which two items are needed to discover the IP address of a new Cisco Aironet 1260 autonomous AP that just finished booting? (Choose two.)

A. username = “cisco” and password = “cisco”
B. username = “Admin” and password = “Cisco”
C. username = none and password = “Cisco”
D. show int vlan1
E. show int bvi1
F. show int gigabitethernet0
G. show int radio0-802.11n
H. show int radio1-802.11n

Answer: CE
Explanation:
Enter your username in the User Name field. The default username is Cisco. Enter the wireless device password in the Password field and press Enter. The default password is Cisco. The Summary Status page appears. The access point is configured with the factory default values including the IP address (set to receive an IP address using DHCP). To obtain the new IP address for an access point/bridge, you can use the show interface bvi1 CLI command.

Hi Dan,
Another stupid question :-). What about the use of calculator? Does exam has a link or or something like redirecting you to a scientific calculator? (just thinking of how you will compute using the log and antilog)

@tintin
Post #19: The only reason I can think of H being incorrect is because most people will do an Etherchannel on the controller management ports, and maybe they consider a port-channel trunk different than a regular trunk? I think there is another question I’ve seen somewhere dealing with which device/channel pairs are correct, and the one with the WLC/trunk is said not to be a correct answer, but WLC/port-channel trunk is supposedly correct.

Post #21: It’s a poorly worded question, but I would choose B. “Security parameters” are not necessary if the WLAN is open or webauth.

@Foxx, you are a legend. Your explanation makes perfect sense to me.
What is fading?
A. Another signal source is producing energy on the channel in which you are trying to operate.
B. The desired signal reaches the receiving antenna via multiple paths, each of which has a
different propagation delay and path loss.
C. A time-varying change in the path loss of a link with the time variance governed by the movement of objects in the environment, including the transmitter and receiver themselves.
D. A function of the frequency and should be provided in the cable specification by the vendor.
E. The minimum signal level for the receiver to be able to acceptably decode the information.
F. The time delay from the reception of the first instance of the signal until the last instance.

Do you understand why the correct answer is C instead of B? Transmitter and receiver should be static, not time varying and therefore not contributing to multipath fading. B looks more correct to me.

Which type of management tasks can be completed on a Cisco WLC remotely from a wireless client?
A. All management and configuration tasks can be performed from a wireless client except for using debug commands.
B. In the default configuration, no management or configuration is possible through the GUI or CLI on the Cisco WLC.
C. The default configuration of the Cisco WLC allows only CLI access and then only the use of show commands, so no configuration is possible.
D. All management and configuration tasks, except uploads from and downloads to the Cisco WLC,

Does anyone know the correct answer to this question. I felt D to be correct, but according to 411q B is right.

@tintin
about the post #37 The answer should be C. B explains what is multipath. Fading is variation of path loss in a single path.

@tintin for the post #38 I think that is another poorly worded question. If the question ask for the management of WLC from a wireless clint, the correct answer is B because in default no configuration is posssible, later you can enable the checkbox enable management from wireless. Even if you enable management from wireless, uoloding the code from WLC is not allowed but the configuratipon upload/doenload is stil possible.

@Estefano
You mention about several issues an IMM document were in your test. Can you share this IMM document with us since I couldn’t find document named IMM from the past posts.

@Foxx @tintin
Which three items are allowed on an Ethernet trunk port? (Choose three.)
A. autonomous AP
B. FlexConnect AP
C. local AP
D. monitor AP
E. rogue detector AP
F. sniffer AP
G. SE-Connect AP
H. Cisco WLC
I think A,B,E and H needs trunk port to connect different VLANs on a single physical or logical port. This is a poorly worded question. It says which ones are allowed on an Ethernet trunk port?
I could not understand the meaning? Any comment?

@Foxx @tintin for the post #21
In the question it is not clear whether the problem is on the communication between the client and the AP. What is your comments? What do you understand from the question?

Regarding post 38, “Default mode” is not mentioned in the question anywhere. thats y i got confused seeing option B as the right answer. For my post #21, please have a look at Foxx’s coment (#36). I am kind of convinced with his explanation for both of the question.

Which post had the IMM document that was mentioned previously. Please point to the post.

Great questions above but starting to get confused while in study mode. Want to run through the dumps but am worried there are wrong answers.

Need to sit soon.

Can anyone that has taken the test in the past few weeks help out with their experience on the test with newer questions asked and if the questions that Gurdian and Titan discuss above are questions that are on the recent exams

#34 by Crimson
I am looking forward to someone explaining why C is the right answer instead of A.

@tintin
I’ve looked around Cisco’s site and through the official cert guide before about the fading question and never came up with an official Cisco answer. Wikipedia says it is, “variation of the attenuation of a signal with various variables,” which leads me to choose C.

On #34, there’s a FAQ on Cisco’s site that says the default username/password is Cisco/Cisco, but on Keith Barker’s video it shows him using no username and the password of Cisco. I don’t have an autonomous AP to test at the moment. From the choices given, A is wrong (default pw isn’t all lowercase on an AP), and there is no “Admin” user on an AP. That leaves us with C.
