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?

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.
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.
Yeah, I'm going with B here. 802.11r is meant for fast roaming and 802.11w covers management frame protection, so both match exactly what's needed in the question. Not totally sure if I'm missing any odd scenario, but I can't see how the others fit. Let me know if you see another angle.
Be respectful. No spam.
