Disassociation

 Disassociation

Type: 00

Subtype: 1010


The Disassociation frame is very similar to the Deauthentication frame, however, it does not make clients completely restart the 802.11 state machine. Instead, it just requires clients to go through the association process, keeping the previous 802.11 authentication valid (Note the client will still need to complete 802.1x or WPA2 authentication if present). 


Below is an example of a Disassociation frame:


Note the same reason code in the "Wireless Management" field. Disassociation frames still have reason codes just like Deauthentication frames (0-39).

Following Design Processes

    It is important to use proper design methodology when designing wireless networks. WiFi has evolved numerous times since it was first implemented, yet I still see very outdated or flat out wrong ways of designing a wireless network. The biggest thing I find is that many places do not follow the design process when choosing to install a new or update an existing WLAN. Essentially we are throwing hardware at a design problem and expecting it to work. In this post, I'll cover the proper way to design a wireless network according to CWNP's guidance. Thank you CWDP-303 official study guide from CWNP for providing me with the ability to do so!  Define     This might be one of the most overlooked parts of the design process. This step in the process sets the foundation for a good, well thought out design. Instead of simply getting a floor plan and jumping straight into a network planner, let's understand who or what we are designing for. During this stage, meeting ...

Hamina Crash Course Video

Image
  45 minute crash course in using Hamina. The skills learned here can be transferable to other wireless design tools as well. Let me know what you think! This is the longest video I've made so far and I hope it can help new/aspiring engineers get comfortable with wireless design tools. Wow this post got some traction and shares on Linkedin! I'm relieved the community is welcoming of new amateur creators!! https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7168416689007644672/
