HPE Aruba Certified Switching Expert (ACSX) — Question 33

What does a client need for it to perform EAP-PEAP successfully, if "˜Validate server Certificate' is not enabled?

Answer options

• A. WPA2-PSK
• B. Client Certificate
• C. Pre-shared key
• D. Server Certificate
• E. Username and Password

Correct answer: E

Explanation

When 'Validate server Certificate' is not enabled, the client cannot authenticate the server’s identity through a certificate. Therefore, it must rely on a Username and Password for authentication, making option E the correct choice. The other options, such as certificates or pre-shared keys, are not applicable in this scenario since they do not replace the need for user credentials.
