Design an Ethernet network to connect a single client PC to a single server. Bot

Question

Design an Ethernet network to connect a single client PC to a single server. Both the client and the server will connect to their respectiveworkgroup switches via UTP. Their workgroup switches are connected directly by a trunk link. The two switches are 900 meters apart. They need to communicate at 800 Mbps. Your design will specify the locations of any switches and the transmission link between the switches.

Then add another client next to the first client. This client will also communicate with the server and will also need 800 Mbps in transmission speed. Again, your design will specify the locations of switches and the transmission link between the switches.

Explanation / Answer

16)a)Answer:

BSS:

A basic service set is an access point and its wireless hosts

The Basic Service Set is a term used to describe the collection of Stations which may communicate together within an 802.11 network. The BSS may or may not include AP (Access Point) which provide a connection onto a fixed distribution system such as an Ethernet network

b)SSID:

A Service Set ID identifies an access point—actually a network.

A service set identifier (SSID) is a sequence of characters that uniquely names a wireless local areanetwork (WLAN). An SSID is sometimes referred to as a "network name." This name allows stations to connect to the desired network when multiple independent networks operate in the same physical area

c)Answer:

Yes the access point have an SSID

d)Answer:

In order to connect to it, the devices needs to know the access point’s SSID

17)Answer:

a) What is a handoff in 802.11?

Answer:

A handoff in 802.11 is when a host travels too far from a wireless access point, and is handed off to a closer access point in the same extended service set.

b) What is the relationship between handoffs and roaming in Wi-Fi?

Answer:

The ability to use handoffs is called roaming. They are the same thing.

c) What is an ESS? (Do not just spell out the abbreviation.)

Answer:

An Extended Service Set is a group of Basic Service Sets that are connected to the same distribution system and in which all access points have the same SSID.

d) What characteristics do all access points in an ESS share?

Answer:

All access points are connected to the same distribution system they all have the same SSID.

e) How can access points communicate with each other?

Answer:

Via the distribution system.

f) What is the purpose of the 802.11r standard?

Answer:

The purpose of the 802.11r standard is that it enables access points in the same distribution system to communicate with each other in roaming
