Implementing Cisco Wireless Network Fundamentals (WIFUND, legacy) — Question 1

Which type of authentication is used initially by a controller-based AP so that a guest client can get an IP address?

Answer options

• A. 802.1x
• B. EAP
• C. LEAP
• D. open authentication
• E. TLS
• F. SSL

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Open authentication is the correct choice because it allows guest clients to access the network without requiring credentials, enabling them to get an IP address. The other options like 802.1x, EAP, LEAP, TLS, and SSL involve more secure authentication methods that are not used for initial guest access.
