Q: 12
Which type of encryption could be used to establish a connection with a simple passkey without
using a 802.1X authentication server?

Its A, had something like this in a mock. PSK means Pre-Shared Key, so you can connect just using a passkey and don't need an external 802.1X server. EAP methods require an authentication server.
I've seen similar in official Mikrotik guides and practice exams, and A looks right since PSK means you just need a passkey, no auth server. B usually ties to enterprise setups.
Hmm, I don't think it's B. WPA PSK/WPA2 PSK (A) is typically the one for a simple passkey without any 802.1X server involvement. EAP options (like in B) are for enterprise setups and always need an authentication server, that's kind of the point with EAP. Seen a lot of Mikrotik setups where PSK lets you avoid the extra server. Maybe I'm missing something but I'd go with A. Anyone disagree?
A is wrong, should be B. EAP usually means server needed, but some setups allow passkey with EAP-PSK. Not totally sure, seen mixed info in Mikrotik docs.
Option A pretty sure-official MIKROTIK manual and the practice tests lean this way for simple setups without 802.1X.
Maybe B. EAP is used for enterprise, but I thought pre-shared key was simpler. Anyone else seeing B on practice tests?
Be respectful. No spam.
