QuestionQ53

Security

You are configuring an SSID that uses 802.1X as its security mechanism. Why use WPA3-Enterprise (CCM-128) when deploying Wi-Fi 6 networks?

  • A WPA3-Enterprise (CCM-128) is also called WPA3-Enterprise Transition Mode. It will allow WPA2 clients to connect.
  • B WPA3-Enterprise (CCM-128) is also called WPA3-Enterprise Compatibility Mode. It will allow WPA2 clients to connect.
  • C WPA3-Enterprise (CCM-128) is also called WPA3-Enterprise Only Mode. There is no support for WPA2 clients.
  • D WPA3-Enterprise (CCM-128) is also called WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode. It is WPA3 only and enforces specific EAP certificate ciphers.
Explanation

WPA3-Enterprise CCM-128 can operate in transition mode, advertising support for both WPA2-Enterprise and WPA3-Enterprise clients. This enables legacy WPA2 clients to connect while WPA3-capable clients use WPA3 on the same SSID.
