A university wants to deploy a WLAN for students and staff. Students should use a shared password, while staff must authenticate with their individual Active Directory credentials. The access points support WPA2 and WPA3. Which combination of modes should the administrator configure?

WPA2-Personal for students and WPA2-Enterprise for staff

WPA3-Personal for both students and staff

WPA3-Personal for students and WPA2-Personal for staff

WPA2-Enterprise for students and WPA3-Enterprise for staff

Which of the following best describes the purpose of WPA2 in wireless networks?

To offer backward compatibility with WEP devices without any security upgrades

To provide a security standard that uses AES-CCMP for robust encryption and integrity

To increase wireless signal range by using stronger encryption

To replace all authentication methods with a single open authentication system

What is the primary difference between WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise modes?

Personal is for home networks, while Enterprise is for small offices

Personal uses AES encryption, while Enterprise uses TKIP encryption

Personal does not require a password, while Enterprise requires a password

Personal uses a pre-shared key, while Enterprise uses 802.1X authentication with a RADIUS server
