Discuss HP HPE7-A01 Exam Topic 5 Question 11

Refer to Exhibit:

A company has deployed 200 AP-635 access points. To take advantage of the 6 GHz band, the administrator has attempted to configure a new WPA3-OWE SSID in Central but is not working as expected.

What would be the correct action to fix the issue?

AChange the SSID to WPA3-Enterprise (CNSA).

BChange the SSID to WPA3-Personal.

CChange the SSID to WPA3-Enhanced Open.

DChange the SSID to WPA3-Enterprise (CCM).

Suggested Answer: C

The correct action to fix the issue is C. Change the SSID to WPA3-Enhanced Open.

WPA3-OWE is not a valid SSID type in Central. OWE stands for Opportunistic Wireless Encryption, and it is a feature that provides encryption for open networks without requiring authentication. OWE is also known as Enhanced Open, and it is one of the options for WPA3 SSIDs in Central1.

According to the Aruba document Configuring WLAN Settings for an SSID Profile, one of the steps to configure a WPA3 SSID is:

Select the Security Level from the drop-down list. The following options are available:

WPA3-Personal: This option uses Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) to provide stronger password-based authentication and key exchange than WPA2-Personal.

WPA3-Enterprise: This option uses 192-bit cryptographic strength for authentication and encryption, as defined by the Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) suite.

WPA3-Enterprise (CCM): This option uses 128-bit cryptographic strength for authentication and encryption, as defined by the Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM) mode.

WPA3-Enhanced Open: This option uses Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) to provide encryption for open networks without requiring authentication.

The other options are incorrect because:

A) WPA3-Enterprise (CNSA) is a valid SSID type, but it requires 802.1X authentication with a RADIUS server, which may not be suitable for the company's use case.

B) WPA3-Personal is a valid SSID type, but it requires a passphrase to join the network, which may not be suitable for the company's use case.

D) WPA3-Enterprise (CCM) is a valid SSID type, but it requires 802.1X authentication with a RADIUS server, which may not be suitable for the company's use case.

C seems like the right move for enhanced security!

Aracelis 11 months ago

Wait, I thought WPA3-OWE was supposed to work?

Colette 11 months ago

Definitely not A, that’s for enterprise setups.

Delila 12 months ago

I think changing it to WPA3-Personal could solve the issue.

Linn 12 months ago

WPA3-OWE isn't fully supported on all devices yet.

Barrett 1 year ago

I’m leaning towards WPA3-Enterprise (CNSA), but I need to double-check if that’s compatible with 6 GHz.

Vanna 1 year ago

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like WPA3-Personal might be a good option, but I can't recall the details clearly.

Gracia 1 year ago

I think WPA3-Enhanced Open is the right choice since it aligns with the Open Wireless Encryption concept.

Patria 1 year ago

I remember studying the different WPA3 modes, but I'm not entirely sure which one is specifically for OWE.

Billye 1 year ago

I think I've got it figured out. Since the question mentions the administrator is trying to take advantage of the 6 GHz band, the correct action would be to change the SSID to WPA3-Enhanced Open (option C). This security mode is specifically designed for the 6 GHz band, so it should resolve the issue.

Julianna 1 year ago

I'm not entirely sure about this one. The options seem similar, and I'm not confident I fully understand the differences between WPA3-Enterprise (CNSA), WPA3-Personal, and WPA3-Enhanced Open. I'll need to carefully read through the details to make the best choice.

Heike 1 year ago

Okay, I've got this. Based on the information provided, the correct action would be to change the SSID to WPA3-Enhanced Open (option C). This security mode is designed for the 6 GHz band and should resolve the issue the administrator is facing.

Ilona 1 year ago

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm a bit confused about the different WPA3 security modes and which one would be appropriate for the 6 GHz band. I'll need to review the details on each option before making a decision.

Hannah 1 year ago

I think the key here is to determine the correct security mode for the 6 GHz band. The question mentions the administrator tried to configure a WPA3-OWE SSID, but it's not working as expected, so I'll need to carefully consider the options.

Carey 1 year ago

Okay, let me break this down. The question says the separator is used to separate the lubricating oil from the compressor exhaust and return the oil to the compressor. That makes sense - I think the answer is true.

Marci 1 year ago

Okay, let me see. Quality management is all about continuous improvement, so the answer is probably not focused on detection or controlling. I'm leaning towards C - Teamwork as the best option.

Ira 1 year ago

Hmm, this seems like a pretty straightforward question about network hardware components. I'll need to carefully review the options and think about the function of the NCS 2000 Optical Service Channel.

Nakisha 1 year ago

This seems like a straightforward question about assumptions in instructional design. I'll carefully read through the options and think about which one is not an assumption.

Avery 2 years ago

I agree with Veda, changing to WPA3-Enterprise (CNSA) makes more sense for security reasons.

Hollis 2 years ago

I disagree, I believe changing the SSID to WPA3-Enhanced Open would be the correct action.

Veda 2 years ago

I think we should change the SSID to WPA3-Enterprise (CNSA).
