Instructor & Todd Lammle Sybex CCNA 640-802 Chapter 12: Wireless Networks
Chapter 12 Objectives The CCNA Topics Covered in this chapter include: • What is a WLAN? • IEEE Standards • CSMA/CD • ISM 2.4Ghz channels • UNII Band • BSS/ESS • Wireless Security 2
Wireless LAN’s • Transmitting a signal using the typical 802.11 specifications works a lot like it does with a basic Ethernet hub: They’re both two-way forms of communication, and they both use the same frequency to both transmit and receive, often referred to as half-duplex. • Wireless LANs (WLANs) use radio frequencies (RFs) that are radiated into the air from an antenna that creates radio waves. 3
Unlicensed Frequencies • 900MHz, 2.4GHz: Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands • 5GHz: Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) band. 4
802.11 Standards Here are the most popular standards in use today: • 802.11b: 2.4Ghz, maximum bandwidth of 11Mbps • 802.11g: 2.4Ghz, up to 54Mbps • 802.11a: 5Ghz, up to 54Mbps 5
802.11b CSMA/CA RTS: Request to Send CTS: Clear to Send 6
ISM 2.4 Ghz Channels • 14 different channels (each 22MHz) released by the FCC in the 2.4GHz range • 3 non-overlapping channels 7
UNII 5Ghz Band • 12 non-overlapping channels (each 20MHz) released by the FCC in the 5GHz range 8
BSS/ESS 10
Wireless Security All Wi-Fi Certified wireless LAN products are shipped in "open-access" mode, with their security features turned off. • SSID (Service Set Identifiers), WEP (Wired Equivalency Protocol) and MAC authentication • 802.11i • WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA 2 11
Summary • Summary • Open your books and go through all the written labs and the review questions. • Review the answers in class. 12
