Which of the following descriptions about the Mesh security template is correct? (Multiple choice)

Question

Options

• AThe security template used by each AP of the same-Mesh network should be the same
• BThe security template bound to the Mesh template must be configured as WPA2+PSK+AES (the
• CThe security template bound to the Mesh template must be configured as WPA2+PSK+TKIP
• DThe security template bound to the Mesh template must be configured as WAPI+PSK+CCMP

• A
  78% (28)
• C
  8% (3)
• D
  14% (5)

Explanation

In a Mesh network, all APs must share an identical security template so they can mutually authenticate and establish Mesh links - any mismatch prevents peering entirely, making A correct. The required security profile for Mesh links is specifically WPA2+PSK+AES: WPA2 provides the necessary protocol strength, PSK enables shared-key authentication between APs without a RADIUS server, and AES is the mandated cipher, making B correct.

Why C is wrong: TKIP is an older, weaker encryption algorithm associated with WPA (not WPA2-level security); Mesh links require AES, not TKIP.

Why D is wrong: WAPI (WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure) is a China-specific wireless security standard and is not the authentication framework used for Mesh security templates - WPA2 is.

Memory tip: Think of the Mesh rule as "Same + Strong" - Same template across all APs (A), and the Strongest standard combo: WPA2 + PSK + AES (B). If you see TKIP or WAPI in a Mesh answer, it's a trap.
