Difficulty: MediumWireless Security and Authentication

A network administrator is setting up a new wireless network for a corporate accounting department. The company's security policy mandates that every employee authenticates using their unique domain credentials and that authentication requests are handled centrally. Which of the following components or standards should the administrator configure to achieve this deployment? (Select TWO.)

  1. WPA3-Enterprise operating modeAnswer
  2. A RADIUS server to handle 802.1X authentication requestsAnswer
  3. C
    WPA3-Personal utilizing Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE)
  4. D
    WPA2 with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption

Answer

The administrator should implement WPA3-Enterprise operating mode and configure a RADIUS server to handle 802.1X authentication requests.
Deploying wireless security with central domain credential verification requires an 802.1X architecture utilizing a RADIUS server for authentication, combined with WPA3-Enterprise mode for robust wireless frame encryption.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze authentication and security requirements
The scenario requires individual domain authentication and centralized account management, ruling out Personal (PSK/SAE) modes.
Personal modes use a shared secret key for all users, which fails to support individual user accountability.
2
Select protocol and server components
Combine WPA3-Enterprise with an 802.1X RADIUS server.
WPA3-Enterprise leverages 802.1X to pass authentication requests to a backend RADIUS server connected to Active Directory.
