Explanation
The company wants to deploy an open WLAN for guests with the following requirements: Guests connect without entering a password (open authentication). Guests are redirected to a welcome web page and log in (captive portal). Encryption is provided for devices that support it. Open WLAN with Captive Portal: An open WLAN means no pre-shared key (PSK) or 802.1X authentication is required to connect. A captive portal can be used to redirect users to a web page where they must log in (e.g., with guest credentials). This meets the requirement for guests to connect without a password and then log in via a web page. Encryption for Capable Devices: The company wants to provide encryption for devices that support it, even on an open WLAN. Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) is a WPA3 feature designed for open networks. OWE provides encryption without requiring a password by negotiating unique encryption keys for each client using a Diffie-Hellman key exchange. OWE in transition mode allows both OWE-capable devices (which use encryption) and non-OWE devices (which connect without encryption) to join the same SSID, ensuring compatibility.
