Which statement correctly describes the security options available for the local mesh links
controlled MSM APs?

A.
The link supports WEP, TKIP, or AES/CCMP encryption either a preshared key or 802.1X
authentication, but enforcing 802.1X on the link requires provisioning the AP

B.
Administrators can implement WEP, TKIP, or AES/CCMP encryption with preshared keys on
the link.

C.
The link can support WEP only encryption with other preshared key or 802.1 authentication.

D.
The mesh ID as a rudimentary password.

Security for a wireless meshJust as you must protect wireless users’ communications, you must
protect the traffictransmitted over a wireless mesh from eavesdroppers and malicious users. As
youwould guess, the most secure method of protecting this traffic is to encrypt it
usingAES/CCMP.The wireless mesh node uses the key you specify to generate the keys that
encrypt thewireless data stream. You can specific a key that is between 8 and 63 characters
inlength. HP recommends that you use a key that is at least 20 characters and includesboth letters
and numbers.
Although using AES/CCMP is the recommended security option, the MSM APssupport TKIP and
WEP encryption for backward compatibility. However, neither ofthese options is recommended.
