What security solution is deprecated in the 802.11 standard and should never be used in any modern WLAN deployment?
Answer(s): A
Shared Key Authentication is a security solution that was defined in the original 802.11 standard as an alternative to Open System Authentication, which does not provide any security at all. Shared Key Authentication uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to encrypt and authenticate data frames between the client station and the AP. However, WEP has been proven to be extremely vulnerable to various attacks that can easily crack the encryption key and compromise the network security. Therefore, Shared Key Authentication is deprecated in the 802.11 standard and should never be used in any modern WLAN deployment .

You are reconfiguring an AP to use the short guard interval. How long will the new guard interval duration be after the change?
Answer(s): B
The short guard interval is an optional feature of 802.11n and 802.11ac that reduces the time between OFDM symbols from 800 ns to 400 ns. This can increase the data rate by about 11%, but also requires more precise timing and synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver. The short guard interval is only used when both the AP and the client support it and agree to use it .

What statement about the IEEE 802.11-2016 QoS facility is true?
Answer(s): C
802.11 QoS is achieved by giving high priority queues a statistical advantage at winning contention. 802.11 QoS is based on the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) mechanism, which defines four access categories (ACs) for different types of traffic: Voice, Video, Best Effort, and Background. Each AC has its own transmit queue and contention parameters, such as Arbitration Interframe Space (AIFS), Contention Window (CW), and Transmission Opportunity (TXOP). These parameters determine how long a station has to wait before transmitting a frame and how long it can occupy the channel. Higher priority ACs have shorter AIFS, smaller CW, and longer TXOP, which means they have more chances to access the channel and send more data than lower priority ACs. However, this does not guarantee that higher priority ACs will always win the contention, as there is still a random backoff process involved. Therefore, 802.11 QoS is a statistical service that provides different levels of service quality based on traffic categories.

You manage a WLAN with 100 802.11ac access points. All access points are configured to use 80 MHz channels. In a particular BSS, only 40 MHz communications are seen. What is the likely cause of this behavior?
https://7signal.com/802-11ac-migration-part-2-whats-nobodys-telling-you-about-80mhz-and- 160mhz-channel-bondingThe clients are all 802.11n STAs or lower is the likely cause of this behavior. If a WLAN with 100 802.11ac access points is configured to use 80 MHz channels, but only 40 MHz communications are seen in a particular BSS, it means that the clients in that BSS do not support 80 MHz channels. This could be because they are using older standards, such as 802.11n or lower, that do not support 80 MHz channels. Alternatively, they could be using newer standards, such as 802.11ac or ax, but have their channel width settings limited to 40 MHz or lower due to device capabilities or configuration options. In either case, the AP will adapt to the client's channel width and use only 40 MHz of the 80 MHz allocated bandwidth to communicate with them. This will reduce the potential throughput and efficiency of the WLAN.

When compared with legacy Power Save mode, how does VHT TXOP power save improve battery life for devices on a WLAN?
VHT TXOP (Very High Throughput Transmit Opportunity) power save is a feature introduced with the 802.11ac amendment, which is designed to improve the power efficiency of devices connected to a WLAN. This feature enhances battery life in several ways, compared to the legacy Power Save mode:Enhanced Power Saving: VHT TXOP power save allows devices to disable more components of the WLAN transceiver when they are in a low power state. This reduces the power consumption during periods when the device is not actively transmitting or receiving data. Intelligent Wake-Up Mechanisms: It employs more sophisticated mechanisms for devices to determine when they need to wake up and listen to the channel, further reducing unnecessary power usage.Optimized Operation: This power save mode is optimized for the high-throughput environment of 802.11ac networks, allowing devices to efficiently manage power while maintaining high performance.Legacy Power Save mode, introduced in earlier versions of the 802.11 standards, does not provide the same level of component disablement or the intelligent wake-up mechanisms found in VHT TXOP power save, making option B the correct answer.

question 4 answer is c. this site shows the correct answer as b. "adopt a consumption model" is clearly a cost optimization design principle. looks like im done using this site to study!!!
number 52 answer is d
just started preparing for my exam , and this site is so much help
question 35 is incorrect, the correct answer is c, it even states so: explanation: when a vm is infected with ransomware, you should not restore the vm to the infected vm. this is because the ransomware will still be present on the vm, and it will encrypt the files again. you should also not restore the vm to any vm within the companys subscription. this is because the ransomware could spread to other vms in the subscription. the best way to restore a vm that is infected with ransomware is to restore it to a new azure vm. this will ensure that the ransomware is not present on the new vm.
i would like to take psm1 exam.
cbd and pdb are key to the database
the purchase and download process is very much streamlined. the xengine application is very nice and user-friendly but there is always room for improvement.
please upload p_sapea_2023
anyone use this? the question dont seem to follow other formats and terminology i have been studying im getting worried
good questions
hello are these questions valid for ms-102
some questions are wrongly answered but its good nonetheless
how to get system serial number using intune
is it really helpful to pass the exam
#229 in incorrect - all the customers require an annual review
kindy upload
fantastic assessment on psm 1
56 question correct answer a,b
thank you for providing the q bank
true quesstions
i can´t believe ms asks things like this, seems to be only marketing material.
hi, could you please add the last update of ns0-527
question #3 refers to vnet4 and vnet5. however, there is no vnet5 listed in the case study (testlet 2).
sometimes it may be good some times it may be
qs 4 answer seems wrong- please check
very detailed explanation !
the interactive nature of the test engine application makes the preparation process less boring.
very useful.
complete question dump should be made available for practice.
i just passed my first exam. i got 2 exam dumps as part of the 50% sale. my second exam is under work. once i write that exam i report my result. but so far i am confident.
nice create dewey stefen
i just wrote this exam and it is still valid. the questions are exactly the same but there are about 4 or 5 questions that are answered incorrectly. so watch out for those. best of luck with your exam.
passed my exam today. this is a good start to 2023.
great sharing
