The specifications for the AP models are in the format of Tx:Rx:SU-MIMO:MU-MIMO:MU-MIMO clients, where Tx is the number of transmit antennas, Rx is the number of receive antennas, SU-MIMO is the number of spatial streams supported in single-user MIMO mode, MU-MIMO is the number of spatial streams supported in multi-user MIMO mode, and MU-MIMO clients is the number of MU-MIMO clients that can be served simultaneously.

The customer requirements are:

• Support for MU-MIMO: This means the AP must have a MU-MIMO value greater than 1, as MU-MIMO is a technique that allows multiple spatial streams to be transmitted to different clients at the same time.
• Support for up to four spatial streams, both when MU-MIMO is used and when it is not used: This means the AP must have a SU-MIMO value and a MU-MIMO value of 4, as spatial streams are independent data streams that can be transmitted or received by an antenna.
• Support for transmissions to up to three MU-MIMO clients at the same time: This means the AP must have a MU-MIMO clients value of 3, as this indicates the maximum number of clients that can receive MU-MIMO transmissions from the AP at the same time.

Based on these criteria, only the AP 335 meets the customer requirements, as it has a specification of 4x4:4:4:4:3, which means it has 4 transmit and receive antennas, 4 spatial streams in both SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO modes, and can serve 3 MU-MIMO clients simultaneously. The AP 325 does not meet the customer requirements, as it has a specification of 4x4:4:4:3:3, which means it has only 3 spatial streams in MU-MIMO mode, and can only serve 2 MU-MIMO clients simultaneously.

The customer wants to use certificates to authenticate user devices, which means that they need a strong and secure method of verifying the identity of the devices that connect to the employee WLAN. The best option for this is to use EAP-TLS instead of PEAP-MSCHAPv2. EAP-TLS stands for Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security, and it is a protocol that uses certificates on both the client and the server side to establish a mutual authentication and a secure channel for data exchange. EAP-TLS is considered the most secure EAP method, as it prevents common attacks such as dictionary attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, and replay attacks.

The other options are not suitable for the customer requirements:

• Option B is incorrect because TKIP encryption is weaker than AES encryption. TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, and it is an older encryption method that was designed to replace WEP, which had serious security flaws. However, TKIP also has some vulnerabilities, and it is not recommended for modern WLANs. AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard, and it is a newer and stronger encryption method that provides better security and performance for WLANs.
• Option C is incorrect because WPA2-PSK is less secure than WPA2-Enterprise. WPA2-PSK stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2-Pre-Shared Key, and it is a security mode that uses a common passphrase or key to authenticate all devices that connect to the WLAN. However, this passphrase or key can be easily compromised or shared, and it does not provide individual authentication or encryption for each device. WPA2-Enterprise stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2-Enterprise, and it is a security mode that uses a RADIUS server to authenticate each device individually and dynamically generate encryption keys for each session. WPA2-Enterprise provides better security and scalability for WLANs.
• Option D is incorrect because TTLS does not use certificates to authenticate user devices. TTLS stands for Tunneled Transport Layer Security, and it is a protocol that uses certificates only on the server side to establish a secure tunnel for data exchange. The client side can use different methods to authenticate, such as passwords, tokens, or certificates. However, TTLS does not require certificates on the client side, and it is less secure than EAP-TLS.

The traditional guideline limits a wired VLAN to a /24 subnet, which provides enough IP addresses for 253 endpoints. You might have suggested one of three approaches: one VLAN per floor, one VLAN per building, or one VLAN per campus. The one VLAN per floor approach is not recommended because it interferes with roaming and adds complexity. If you did take this approach, the /24 subnets are not large enough for the requirements on every floor. You would need to ask for /23 subnets. The one VLAN per building approach would work if you considered each building its own RF domain. It provides roaming within a building and, if you are using a single cluster at the data center, between buildings. Ifyou deployed two MCs or clusters, one at each building, though, GRE tunneling would be required to support roaming between buildings.
