Why each option
To configure a WLAN for WPA2 PSK security and restrict client access to specific devices, enabling WPA2 Policy and MAC Filtering are the necessary actions.
The OSEN Policy option is related to advanced authentication mechanisms or WPS, not directly to basic WPA2 PSK and MAC address filtering.
Enabling 802.1X for Authentication Key Management utilizes an enterprise-grade authentication server like RADIUS and is incompatible with the specified WPA2 PSK method.
Enabling the WPA2 Policy option configures the WLAN to utilize WPA2 security, which is essential for implementing WPA2 PSK (Pre-Shared Key) for client authentication.
Enabling the MAC Filtering option allows the administrator to specify a list of permitted (or denied) MAC addresses, ensuring that only approved clients can associate with the WLAN, fulfilling the requirement to allow only specific clients.
CCKM (Cisco Centralized Key Management) is a proprietary fast roaming solution for 802.1X environments and is not relevant to a standard WPA2 PSK setup for access control.
