What is one advantage of using EAP-TTLS instead of EAP-TLS as an authentication mechanism in an 802.11 WLAN?
Correct Answer:
D
Explanation
WPA-Personal with MAC filtering has significant security weaknesses. Offline dictionary attacks work against WPA-Personal because the PSK is hashed with the SSID, allowing attackers to crack weak passwords offline without network interaction. MAC spoofing easily defeats MAC filtering since MAC addresses are sent in plaintext and can be changed on most devices. DoS attacks succeed because WPA-Personal lacks the robust authentication mechanisms of enterprise deployments, making the network vulnerable to deauthentication and disassociation frames. The other options like WEP cracking or rogue AP detection don't represent the primary vulnerabilities of this setup.
The IEEE 802.11 Pairwise Transient Key (PTK) is derived from what cryptographic element?
Correct Answer:
C
Explanation
When using EAP authentication, the 802.1X controlled port remains closed until authentication succeeds, preventing regular data traffic. However, the uncontrolled port allows certain traffic necessary for the authentication process itself. Once the client completes Open System authentication, it can use the uncontrolled port to exchange EAP frames with the authenticator and authentication server. This is the correct mechanism that enables the client to authenticate. Other statements would incorrectly describe either the timing of port access or which port is used during different phases of the authentication process.
When TKIP is selected as the pairwise cipher suite, what frame types may be protected with data confidentiality? (Choose 2)
Correct Answer:
D, F
Explanation
Troubleshooting fast roaming and reassociation problems requires capturing and analyzing Wi-Fi frames during the roaming process. A laptop-based protocol analyzer with multiple 802.11n adapters allows the technician to monitor and capture the actual frames exchanged between the phone and multiple APs during inter-channel roaming. Multiple adapters on different channels enable simultaneous monitoring of the handoff. A single adapter, wireless LAN controllers, or RF survey tools cannot capture the detailed frame-by-frame information needed to diagnose reassociation delays or drops during actual roaming events.
You perform a protocol capture using Wireshark and a compatible 802.11 adapter in Linux. When viewing the capture, you see an auth req frame and an auth rsp frame. Then you see an assoc req frame and an assoc rsp frame. Shortly after, you see DHCP communications and then ISAKMP protocol packets. What security solution is represented?
Correct Answer:
B
Explanation
Endpoint security software enforces security policies at the client level. It prevents connections to non-compliant networks by evaluating security settings against organizational standards before allowing association. The software monitors network activity and collects usage statistics while the client is connected, helping detect threats and maintain visibility. It can also restrict clients to approved configurations by SSID and encryption type, ensuring devices only connect to authorized networks. These capabilities give the organization control over endpoint behavior and compliance across the WLAN deployment.
Given: WLAN protocol analyzers can read and record many wireless frame parameters.
What parameter is needed to physically locate rogue APs with a protocol analyzer?
Correct Answer:
D
Explanation
Proper staging procedures for autonomous APs require changing default administrative credentials on every device before enabling WLANs. The administrative password must be modified to prevent unauthorized access and maintain security compliance. Leaving default passwords in place creates a significant security risk since the credentials are widely known. The SSID names are intentionally kept the same across APs to maintain consistent network identification. Changing other settings like IP addresses would be done as part of individual AP configuration, not as a universal staging requirement across all seven APs.

FAQ
CWSP-207 Exam FAQ
Common questions about the exam itself
What experience do I need before taking CWSP-207?
You must hold a current and valid CWNA certification before you can sit CWSP-207. The CWNA credential ensures you have foundational knowledge of wireless networking and 802.11 standards that CWSP assumes you already understand.
What score do I need to pass CWSP-207?
You need to score 70% or higher to pass the exam. Instructors attempting the exam must achieve 80% or higher.
How long is the CWSP-207 exam?
You have 90 minutes to complete 60 multiple choice questions. This works out to about 1.5 minutes per question, so time management is important.
Where can I take the CWSP-207 exam?
You can take the exam online proctored or at a Prometric testing center. The exam is delivered through CWNP Remote Proctored Exams or via Prometric worldwide testing centers.
What is the hardest part of CWSP-207?
WLAN Security Design and Architecture makes up 45% of the exam and covers encryption, AKM processes, and wireless monitoring solutions. Many candidates find this domain challenging because it requires both theoretical understanding and practical knowledge of how different security mechanisms work together.
How long does CWSP-207 certification stay valid?
Your CWSP certification is valid for three years from the date you pass the exam. After three years, you must retake the exam or earn a higher CWNP certification to maintain your status.
How do I renew my CWSP certification?
To recertify, you must pass the current CWSP exam and maintain a valid CWNA credential. Alternatively, you can advance to earn the CWNE certification, which also counts for three years.
How long should I study for CWSP-207?
Preparation time varies based on your background, but most candidates with CWNA experience and wireless security experience spend 4 to 8 weeks of focused study. The WLAN Security Design and Architecture domain typically requires the most study time.
What job role is CWSP-207 designed for?
CWSP is intended for wireless security professionals, network engineers, and IT security staff responsible for assessing network vulnerabilities, designing secure wireless networks, and implementing WLAN security policies and compliance monitoring.
How does CWSP-207 relate to other CWNP certifications?
CWSP is a professional level certification that builds on CWNA. To earn CWNE (Certified Wireless Network Expert), you must pass CWSP along with CWDP, CWAP, and CWISA exams. CWSP-207 is being retired at the end of 2025, with a new version coming after.
