Question 480
A branch design for Harborview Logistics has two requirements: (1) verify the corporate wireless network is enabled after creating a WLAN, and (2) create a controller WLAN that uses WPA2-Personal for a lab SSID. Which plan correctly handles both requirements?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Both outcomes are covered: (1) A configured but disabled WLAN does not accept client associations. (2) A WPA2 PSK WLAN authenticates clients through the configured shared secret. Neither action is a substitute for the other.
Incorrect Answers
Neither step is the requested pair: Use an approved certificate-based device identity is for authenticate a device without managing a shared human password, and Apply unique credentials with a password manager and rotation policy is for reduce password reuse across device administrators. Certificates bind cryptographic credentials to a trusted issuing authority and verified identity. The proposed plan misses the two stated outcomes.
The second step covers (2), but the first addresses protect traffic between branch routers over an untrusted WAN. Site-to-site IPsec protects routed flows between security gateways over an untrusted underlay. It leaves outcome (1) unfulfilled.
The first step covers (1), but the second addresses choose a VPN topology for dozens of branches connecting two headquarters networks. Gateway-to-gateway VPNs connect entire protected subnets without requiring each host a remote-access client. It leaves outcome (2) unfulfilled.
