CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 457

A network engineer is implementing a corporate SSID for WPA3-Personal security with a PSK. Which encryption cipher must be configured?

Answer options

• A. CCMP128
• B. GCMP256
• C. CCMP256
• D. GCMP128

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A (CCMP128) because WPA3-Personal specifically requires the use of the CCMP encryption protocol with a 128-bit key. The other options, while valid encryption types, either use a different key size or are not specified for WPA3-Personal, making them unsuitable for this configuration.
