Sybex CCNA 640-802 Chapter 12: Wireless Networks
Instructor & Todd Lammle
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
4
• 900MHz, 2.4GHz: Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands
• 5GHz: Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) band.
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

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
