A small municipal annex AP still has encryption marked optional/legacy, and some IoT printers associate in inconsistent insecure ways. Design requires modern cipher required. What should the technician do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
"Optional" legacy encryption is a fail-open mess—devices may connect without the modern protection the city wants. Set the AP to require the approved modern cipher. Client isolation is not a stand-in for fixing encryption config.
Full Explanation
Incorrect AP encryption configuration, such as optional or legacy cipher modes, can allow inconsistent or weak associations. Technicians apply the design document and set encryption to the required modern suite (for example WPA2/WPA3 with AES-class ciphers) rather than leaving fail-open legacy options. Unrelated features like client isolation do not replace correct encryption settings.
