Hi Criss,

If station is already authenticated and associated.And it sends
authentication request. You would send a successful response and change the station state to authenticated. (which was previously associated).
Is that what you mean .......?

Suppose the authentication response was unsuccessful...what will you do?
Will you change back the state to unauthenticated and unassociated?

Does this violate the standard?

Since standard tells that if you receive Class 1 or Class2 or Class3 frames in authenticated and associated state, it should remain in the same state.

Can you clear my confusion please...

With regards,
Murali

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
