[All DEP-2025 Questions]

Which type of network uses individual user credentials or device- and/or user-based certificates to control who or which devices can use the network?

AProvisioning network

BWPA2 Personal network

CWPA2 Enterprise network

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

WPA2 Enterprise networks utilize individual user credentials (e.g., username and password) or device- and/or user-based certificates for authentication, typically via protocols like EAP-TLS or PEAP, integrated with a RADIUS server. This provides granular control over network access, ideal for organizational settings. A provisioning network (option A) is a temporary network for device setup, not a security standard. WPA2 Personal (option B) uses a shared passphrase, lacking individual authentication. The Apple Platform Deployment Guide specifies WPA2 Enterprise for secure, user-specific network access in managed environments.

C) WPA2 Enterprise, no doubt. Keeping your network on lockdown is the only way to go these days. Ain't nobody got time for freeloaders!

I'm going with C. Enterprise-level security is the way to future-proof your network. Who needs personal networks when you can have the real deal?

I practiced a similar question, and I think WPA2 Enterprise is definitely the right choice because it focuses on user-based certificates for security.

I’m torn between WPA2 Enterprise and the provisioning network option. I need to recall if provisioning networks are more about setup than access control.

I remember studying about different network types, and I feel like WPA2 Personal is more about a shared password, not individual credentials.

I think it might be WPA2 Enterprise since it uses individual credentials for access, but I'm not completely sure.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. WPA2 Enterprise is the one that uses individual credentials to control access, while WPA2 Personal has a shared password. I feel pretty confident about this one.

I'm a little unsure about this one. I know WPA2 has different modes, but I'm not totally clear on how the authentication works in each. Guess I'll have to make an educated guess.

Okay, I've got this. WPA2 Enterprise uses individual user credentials or certificates, while WPA2 Personal uses a shared password. The other option, provisioning network, doesn't sound right.

I think this is asking about network authentication methods. The key is to identify the one that uses individual credentials or certificates.
