Took 1102 today (Passed) and this was not on my exam. There were 3 practical's. One asked how to set up a SOHO with backup power. You have to select the power source for the surge protector in one column and UPS in the other column. You have to drag the following to both columns: CPU, monitor, printer/scanner, modem, and router. The other question was technical support via messenger. The user complained that her work email stopped working on her phone. I had to go through the steps for trouble shooting i.e. Were there any recent changes?, change the port channel to 993, and Educate the user. The next question asked to resolve two trouble call tickets, identify why and the command line to resolve the problem. Mind you I don't have any IT experience but I hope this helps.

click on 801.11 and select b/g click on SSID and select BYOD (since the ipad is personal and BYOD means bring your own device) click on frequency and select 2.4Ghz (it has longer range that can penetrate in which 5Ghz is poor at.) At Wireless Security Mode, Click on Security Mode,Select the WPA2 and the password should be set to TotallySecure! (WPA2 or Enterprise mode, more suited to organizational or business use. while WPA-PSK relies on a shared passcode for access and is usually used in home environments.)

I would say select AC for the 802.11 then select WPA-PSK because its already configuredd that way in the 2nd to the last snapshpt shown. Yes I strongly recommend 2.4GHz as well because that has a longer reach

The question mentions a personal device to be operated in a corporation so we need to pick "BYOD", the reason for 2.4 GHz is that the heating map which not provided in the question should show 2.4 GHz covering room 3, unlike the 5 GHz spectrum (according to the heating map which is missed) then follow security procedures according to configuration page (BYOD ..........)

I have a question for the community and for the moderators running this wonderful website: When you reveal the answer and it shows you the "correct" answer, is this always fact? The fact that the given correct answer often contradicts what the community believes is true is confusing. I saw in one comment that this is intentional due to copyright infringement. Can anyone confirm or shed some light on this? I appreciate your time!

Im not too sure but I think these are official exam questions meaning they are not allowed to give the correct answer otherwise the site would get take down. So I assume that is the whole point of the discussions and the most voted option the questions so they are indirectly giving you the right answer if that makes any sense.

took 1102 today, had 3 pracs: the UPS/surge protector, telephone support for mobile with no email and two helpdesk tickets, how to fix - these are at beginning of q's and at very end - 197/198 I think? Also had a question about stopping a recently installed program from auto starting, answer - use task manager (startup tab). There were a few changed questions in there, but if you know these 198 quite well you will do it. Enjoy!

Hi, Do you mean that the 2 helpdesk tickets are after questions 197/198 on this site and what are they about/answers to them too? Also, what were answers to the UPS/surge protector question?

Why isn't WPA2 the answer? It is more secure than WPA. And when it states b/g, is this referring to 802.b and 802.g ? In other words 2.4GHz. Why would that be correct?
upvoted 3 times

Because ExamTopics did not show the heat map on this site. On the actual exam, there will be a heat map that you can toggle, and it will show that only the 2.4 GHz frequency can reach Ann's office. Thus, you have to use the 2.4 GHz frequency range, which is 802.11b/g. Also, WPA is used because the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) network uses WPA-PSK.

The exam does have the heat map functioning. Unless they change it the Wi-Fi should be b/g with 2.4 GHz.

i'm leaning towards b/g but still a bit confused with the way the standards work. My understanding of 802.11ac is that due to its backwards compatibility and use of dualband that it should be the choice in most cases (basing this on most articles i've read about it that are dated later than 2013).

802.11ac runs at 5GHz. The ac supports beamforming which helps overcome the fact that range is shorter than 2.4. But the heat map is the key to the whole PBQ.

Just took the test and the heat map for 5GHz was in red for office space 3, meaning 5GHz does not reach the room. 2.4GHz is green over office 3. So the correct answer would be "2.4GHz" and for 802.11 select "b/g".

unless this is explained in the exam wouldn't red on a heatmap mean that area is reached?

Yes but it has the lowest signal quality. You'd have to see the heat map to understand why it would be 2.4GHz.

Thanks for your help I greatly appreciate it. I test next week for Core 2 and this is what I am going to go with now. Do you recall there being any additional labs on the exam or was this the only one? I remember Core 1 having 3 and that's why I ask. Thanks in advance!

I think the reasoning for 5GHz is because 802.11ac runs at 5GHz.
