Cisco Updated 300-430 Exam Questions and Answers by ralphy

The default IEEE 802.1x AP authentication configuration on a Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller is EAP-FAST with CAPWAP DTLS (Option D). This method uses EAP-FAST for authentication within a secure tunnel established by Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) over CAPWAP, which provides both security for authentication credentials and encryption for wireless management frames. References := ( CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide )

In this scenario where branch wireless users can still associate locally but cannot access head office services due to WAN downtime indicates that Cisco FlexConnect is likely in use. The correct elements are: A - authentication-local/switch-local: This means that client authentication and data switching are happening locally at the branch. E - standalone mode: With WAN down, FlexConnect APs operate in standalone mode allowing clients to associate even without connectivity back to WLC. F - WEB authentication: This could be used as an authentication method regardless of WAN state since it’s processed locally at AP level. References := (CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide

During the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) process, the RADIUS server generates an encrypted session key after the client’s identity is authenticated. This session key is sent to the access point to encrypt data frames between the client and the access point. It ensures that each session has a unique encryption key, enhancing security. References: Look for information on EAP and RADIUS in the CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide.

For rogue containment on an SSID, it’s recommended to use two access points for containment (Option B). Using more than two can lead to unnecessary interference and potential disruption of service for legitimate users, while using just one may not be effective enough in containing the rogue SSID. References := ( CCNP Enterprise Wireless Design ENWLSD 300-425 and Implementation ENWLSI 300-430 Official Cert Guide )
