Configure the authentication mode of the AP. What are the authentication methods supported by the AP? (Multiple choice)
The correct answer is A. mac-auth B. sn-auth C. no-auth. Huawei ACs support exactly three AP authentication modes: no-auth (the AP registers without any credential check), mac-auth (the AC verifies the AP's MAC address against an approved list), and sn-auth (the AC verifies the AP's factory serial number). These three cover the full…

Explanation
Huawei ACs support exactly three AP authentication modes: no-auth (the AP registers without any credential check), mac-auth (the AC verifies the AP's MAC address against an approved list), and sn-auth (the AC verifies the AP's factory serial number). These three cover the full range of authentication strictness - from open to hardware-identity-based verification - and are the only modes defined in the Huawei AP authentication configuration framework.
Option D (mac-sn-auth) is the distractor: while MAC authentication and SN authentication both exist as separate modes, there is no combined "mac-sn-auth" mode in the supported configuration set. It is constructed to sound plausible by blending the names of two real options.
Memory tip: Think "M-S-N" - MAC, SN, No-auth - the three real modes spell out a reverse acronym. Any option that combines two of these (like mac-sn-auth) is invented and not valid.
