200-301 · Question #1705

Refer to the exhibit. Users will be using a preconfigured secret key and SSID and must have a secured key hashing algorithm configured. The AAA server must not be used for the user authentication meth

The correct answer is D. Configure PSK-SHA2.. To provide a secured key hashing algorithm (SHA-2) while using a pre-shared key (PSK) and without an AAA server, you should enable PSK-SHA2. This allows for a stronger key derivation function, improving security in WPA2-PSK environments.
