Q: 3
XYZ Company has decided to install an 802.11 WLAN system that will support 1083 wireless users,
but they are concerned about network security. XYZ is interested in deploying standardized security
features. In addition to WPA2-Enterprise with PEAP and role-based access control, XYZ would like to
support management frame protection as well as a fast secure roaming protocol for future mobile
handsets.
As XYZ Company selects a product to deploy, what two IEEE amendments, which are included in
802.11-2016, and 802.11-2020 should be supported to provide the management frame protection
and fast secure roaming security features?

B . 802.11r is for fast secure roaming, and 802.11w provides management frame protection-both match exactly what they're asking. Other options deal with client management, not these security features. Fairly sure about this but open to debate if I've missed something.
B . Practice dumps and the official CWNA book both mention 802.11w for management frame protection and 802.11r for fast roaming. Unless something changed in newer standards, pretty sure this is the combo you want.
Option B looks right to me too. 802.11r is all about fast BSS transitions (roaming), and 802.11w adds management frame protection. The other options don't match these requirements. Pretty sure it's B here-open to other opinions though.
B . that's the only combo here that directly handles both security asks, afaik.
Option B fits because 802.11w is for management frame protection and 802.11r covers fast secure roaming-those are exactly what the question asks for. If they wanted client management, it'd probably be D instead. Anyone disagree?
C vs B-leaning B since 802.11r is for fast secure roaming and 802.11w handles management frame protection, which matches what they're asking. Checked similar practice questions and B fits best, but let me know if you see it differently.
B tbh
Not sure why anyone would pick D here. 802.11k and 802.11v help with client steering and radio management, but they don't tackle security for frames or fast roaming. Double-checked my CWNA notes, it's gotta be B.
D . I always thought 802.11k and 802.11v had to do with roaming and management, not security, so seems close.
B makes more sense Had something like this in a mock and pretty sure B is right since 802.11w covers management frame protection and 802.11r handles fast, secure roaming. The others are more about network efficiency or resource management, not directly security features. Let me know if you think otherwise.
Be respectful. No spam.
