Question

During a clinic AP review, a mixed mode still advertises a TKIP-only cipher suite. What should the technician conclude?

Accepted Answer

Reject TKIP as deprecated and prefer CCMP/AES cipher suites instead. — TKIP was the bandage after WEP, and the bandage is expired. If the clinic SSID still shows TKIP-only, steer the config to CCMP/AES and retire that mixed leftover.

Answer

TKIP-only is preferred for voice handsets because it reduces AES CPU load.

Answer

TKIP-only is required whenever any Windows XP embedded kiosk remains on site.

Answer

TKIP-only is acceptable if the PSK is longer than sixteen characters.
