A scan of city-hall beacons during WPA3 migration shows both WPA2 and WPA3 AKM suites advertised on the same SSID. How should the candidate interpret that mixed advertisement?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Seeing both WPA2 and WPA3 AKMs on one beacon is usually the migration billboard for mixed clients. It signals a transition posture, not proof the WLAN is open or that roaming somehow broke.
Full Explanation
During WPA3 migration, Transition Mode and related mixed configurations commonly advertise multiple AKM suites so heterogeneous clients can negotiate a supported method. That does not imply an open network, does not by itself prove FT is impossible, and the RSN AKM list is specifically about WLAN security capabilities—not wired switchport methods alone. Interpreting the beacon correctly helps municipal teams distinguish intentional migration design from misconfiguration.
