CompTIA CASP+ Practice Test

What configuration should three companies agree upon for seamless wireless connectivity while maintaining their own authentication infrastructures?

1. Standardized password length across networks

2. A single SSID and hierarchical RADIUS with trust delegation

3. Utilization of different SSIDs for each company

4. Individual RADIUS servers for each company's network

The correct answer is: A single SSID and hierarchical RADIUS with trust delegation

The selection of a single SSID and hierarchical RADIUS with trust delegation facilitates seamless wireless connectivity among the three companies while allowing each to maintain its own authentication infrastructure. By utilizing a single SSID, users can connect to a common network identifier, which simplifies the connection process and enhances user experience, as they do not need to switch between different network names or configurations when moving between the companies. The hierarchical RADIUS approach means that each company's RADIUS server can remain independent while establishing a trust relationship for authentication. This allows for secure communication and collaboration between the networks, ensuring that users from one company can authenticate against their own server while still being able to access the resources of the other companies under appropriate permissions. Trust delegation ensures that the RADIUS servers can authenticate users from other companies while still enforcing their own authentication policies and controls. In contrast, employing a standardized password length across networks is insufficient for seamless connectivity, as it doesn’t address the actual authentication processes or the connection points for users. Utilizing different SSIDs for each company complicates access and reduces the convenience for users who frequently need to connect across each other's networks. Meanwhile, relying on individual RADIUS servers for each company's network would hinder interoperability, as users would have to connect to separate networks and deal with multiple
