CWNA-107 Exam - Question 38


What security method is commonly used for VoIP handsets when the infrastructure does not support OKC or FT roaming?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BD

When the infrastructure does not support Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC) or Fast Transition (FT) roaming, WPA2-Personal is commonly used for VoIP handsets. This is because WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK) does not require re-authentication with a RADIUS server, which can introduce delays that are not acceptable for the real-time communication needs of VoIP. Instead, WPA2-Personal uses a pre-shared key, which allows for faster roaming and avoids the latency issues associated with WPA2-Enterprise re-authentication.

D is the answer. With OKC, the client performs a standard 802.1X/EAP authentication on initial connection to the network. (Page 453 of CWNA-107 Study Guide). If the device doesn't support Fast Roaming, then Pre-shared Key (WPA2-PSK or WPA2-Personal) is recommended because WPA-Enterprise without Fast Roaming can introduce delay during roaming because of its requirement for full re-authentication.
