CWNP CWSP-208 Exam - Topic 4 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for CWNP's CWSP-208 exam
Question #: 7

[All CWSP-208 Questions]

Joe's new laptop is experiencing difficulty connecting to ABC Company's 802.11 WLAN using 802.1X/EAP PEAPv0. The company's wireless network administrator assured Joe that his laptop was authorized in the WIPS management console for connectivity to ABC's network before it was given to him. The WIPS termination policy includes alarms for rogue stations, roque APs, DoS attacks and unauthorized roaming.

What is a likely reason that Joe cannot connect to the network?

I thought WIPS only disables rogue APs, not regular ones.

Not sure about that, though. Is Joe really using a personal card?

Sounds like a classic case of a misconfigured radio.

I agree, option D seems likely. Too much power can trigger alarms.

Wait, could it be option C? ASLEAP attacks are serious!

I vaguely recall that if the output power is too high, it might trigger a DoS alarm. That could be a reason for Joe's connection problem.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like if Joe's sending too many Probe Requests, that could cause issues with the network.

I think I saw a similar question about WIPS and rogue devices. Could it be that the WIPS disabled the APs because of an attack?

I remember something about 802.1X and how it can be tricky if the radio settings aren't right. Maybe Joe's using the wrong radio?

This seems like a good opportunity to apply some of the troubleshooting strategies we've learned. I'll make sure to carefully analyze the information provided and consider all the possible reasons why Joe might be having trouble connecting to the network.

Ah, I think I've got it! The question mentions the WIPS termination policy, which includes alarms for rogue stations and unauthorized roaming. If Joe is using a different wireless card or has misconfigured his settings, that could be triggering the WIPS and preventing him from connecting.

I'm a bit confused by all the technical jargon here. Is this about a problem with the wireless network or something with Joe's laptop? I'll need to make sure I understand the key details before trying to answer.

Okay, let's see. The question mentions that Joe's laptop is authorized in the WIPS management console, so it doesn't seem like an issue with authorization. Maybe it has something to do with the 802.1X/EAP PEAPv0 configuration on his laptop?

C) An ASLEAP attack has been detected on APs to which Joe's laptop was trying to associate. The WIPS responded by disabling the APs.

I'm going with D. Transmitting at 100 mW could definitely trigger the WIPS to detect it as a DoS attack and block the connection.

C sounds like the most likely reason. If the WIPS detected an ASLEAP attack, it would have disabled the APs, preventing Joe from connecting.

I think the answer is A. If Joe is using a different radio card, it's likely not compatible with the company's 802.1X/EAP PEAPv0 setup.
