You are configuring an SSID which is using 802.1X as a security mechanism. What should be considered when deploying Wi-Fi 6E (6GHz) but maintaining compatibility with Wi-Fi 6 (5 GHz) networks?
The correct answer is B. WPA3-Enterprise (CCM-128) is mandatory. For Wi-Fi 6E (6 GHz) deployments using 802.1X, WPA3-Enterprise with at least CCM-128 encryption is mandatory, as WPA2 is not permitted in the 6 GHz band. This ensures compliance with Wi-Fi Alliance security requirements while maintaining compatibility with existing Wi-Fi 6 (5…

Explanation
For Wi-Fi 6E (6 GHz) deployments using 802.1X, WPA3-Enterprise with at least CCM-128 encryption is mandatory, as WPA2 is not permitted in the 6 GHz band. This ensures compliance with Wi-Fi Alliance security requirements while maintaining compatibility with existing Wi-Fi 6 (5 GHz) networks, where WPA2-Enterprise may still be supported.
