CWNP Exam CWISA-102 Topic 2 Question 12 Discussion

Actual exam question for CWNP's CWISA-102 exam
Question #: 12
Topic #: 2
[All CWISA-102 Questions]

You are troubleshooting a problem with a wireless solution that uses MQTT where the IoT end devices are not reporting to the MQTT server/broker. At what Layer of the OSI Model should troubleshooting begin when using a bottom-up method?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Bottom-Up Troubleshooting:The OSI model provides a structured diagnostic approach. Starting at Layer 1 ensures basic physical connectivity issues are ruled out first.

MQTT Relies on IP:MQTT operates at a higher layer of the OSI model, relying on TCP/IP (Layers 4 and 3) for communication. Problems at the physical layer will disrupt everything built upon it.

Checking the Fundamentals:Before investigating complex application issues (MQTT), verify cables, link lights, Wi-Fi signal strength, etc.

References:

OSI Model:Descriptions of the seven layers, emphasizing the foundation provided by Layer 1 (Physical).

Network Troubleshooting Guides:Resources that outline common Layer 1 problems and their symptoms.

I believe Layer 1 is the best starting point, as it helps to ensure the basic connectivity is working before moving up the OSI model.

I think starting at Layer 4 might be more efficient, as it deals with transport protocols that could be causing the problem.

Well, if it's a wireless MQTT solution, I'd start at Layer 1 too. Gotta make sure the signal is getting through before anything else.

But wouldn't you want to start at the lowest layer first to rule out any hardware issues?

Yeah, checking the physical layer is key. Can't do much if the signal isn't strong.

I agree with Mira, Layer 1 is the physical layer where issues with connectivity can be identified.

Haha, classic networking troubleshooting. Bet you the problem is just a loose WIFI antenna or something. Layer 1 all the way!

I agree, Layer 1 is the way to go. Gotta make sure the hardware and cabling are all working before you can even think about the upper layers.

Layer 1 seems like the logical place to start troubleshooting the wireless connection issue. Can't get data to the MQTT server if the physical layer is not functioning properly.
