Implementing Cisco Wireless Network Fundamentals (WIFUND, legacy) — Question 132

A customer has completed the installation of an 802.11ac greenfield deployment at their corporate headquarters. They would like to leverage 802.11ac enhanced speeds on the trusted employee WLAN. In order to configure the employee WLAN, what Layer 2 security policies are valid?

Answer options

• A. WPA2 (TKIP)
• B. WPA(AES)
• C. OPEN
• D. WEP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, OPEN, which allows for the highest speeds on an 802.11ac deployment without any encryption overhead. Options A (WPA2 with TKIP) and D (WEP) are outdated and not suitable for high-speed networks, while B (WPA with AES) is a secure option but does not provide the same performance benefits as an open network.
