An engineer must configure a Cisco WLC to support Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend APs. Which two Layer 2 security options are supported in this environment? (Choose two.)
When configuring a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to support Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend APs, the following Layer 2 security options are supported:
WPA+WPA2 (B):
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 are robust security protocols that provide strong encryption and authentication. They are widely supported and recommended for securing wireless networks.
WPA2 uses AES encryption, which is more secure than WEP.
802.1X (E):
802.1X is an authentication framework that provides port-based network access control. It is often used in conjunction with WPA or WPA2 to authenticate users or devices before granting access to the network.
It works with EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) methods like EAP-TLS, EAP-PEAP, or EAP-FAST.
Why not the other options?
A. Static WEP + 802.1X:
Static WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an outdated and insecure encryption method. While 802.1X is secure, combining it with WEP is not recommended because WEP is vulnerable to attacks.
C. Static WEP:
Static WEP is not considered secure and is not recommended for modern wireless networks. It is easily cracked and does not meet current security standards.
D. CKIP:
CKIP (Cisco Key Integrity Protocol) is a proprietary encryption protocol used by Cisco, but it is not commonly used or supported in modern wireless deployments. It is not a standard Layer 2 security option for OfficeExtend APs.
Conclusion:
The two supported and recommended Layer 2 security options for Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend APs are WPA+WPA2 and 802.1X.
For Layer 2 Security, the following options are supported for the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point:
None.
WPA+WPA2.
Static WEP.
802.1X (only for remote LANs) Figure 2. WLAN Layer 2 Security Settings.
Answer is correct!!!
Answer is correct.
For Layer 2 Security, only these options are supported for the Cisco Aironet 600 Series OEAP:
None
WPA+WPA2
Static WEP can also be used but not for .11n data rates.
nevertheless B+C are correct answers.
"When setting the security setting in the WLAN, there are specific elements that are not supported on the 600 series. For Layer 2 Security, only these options are supported for the Cisco Aironet 600 Series OEAP:
None
WPA+WPA2
Static WEP can also be used but not for .11n data rates."
