IEEE 802.11w is the Protected Management Frames standard. I think the correct answer is C.

Isn't PMF WAP 3 ? I guess answer B.

it´s C

The 802.11w protocol applies only to a set of robust management frames that are protected by the Management Frame Protection (PMF) service. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/5700/software/release/3se/wlan/configuration_guide/b_wlan_3se_5700_cg/b_wlan_3se_5700_cg_chapter_01000.pdf

802.11w, also known as Protected Management Frames (PMF), is a standard within the IEEE 802.11 family of wireless networking standards. It enhances the security of Wi-Fi networks by protecting management frames exchanged between wireless devices and access points. Management frames are used for tasks such as association, authentication, and disassociation in a Wi-Fi network.

C. Set PMF to Required. To enable 802.11w (also known as Protected Management Frames or PMF) on the WLAN, the action that must be taken is to set PMF to Required. PMF is a security feature in Wi-Fi networks that provides protection for management frames, such as association and disassociation frames, against various attacks. By setting PMF to Required, all clients connecting to the WLAN will be required to support and use PMF for enhanced security. This ensures that management frames exchanged between the access point and clients are protected from potential tampering or exploitation. Options A, B, and D do not specifically relate to enabling 802.11w (PMF) on the WLAN.

IEEE 802.11w is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard that defines enhancements to the security of wireless local area networks (WLANs). It specifies the use of Protected Management Frames (PMFs), which provide an additional layer of security for management frames that are used to control the operation of a WLAN. This includes management frames such as Beacon frames, which are used to advertise the presence of a WLAN, and Association Request frames, which are used to initiate the connection process between a client device and an access point. 802.11w aims to prevent certain types of attacks, such as man-in-the-middle attacks, which can be used to intercept and modify management frames in order to disrupt the operation of a WLAN.

The answer is C

'B' is correct to configure802.11w feature for optional and mandatory, you must have WPA and AKM configured.The RNS (RobustSecureNetwork)IE must be enabledwith an AES Cipher. To configure802.11w as mandatory, you must enable PMF AKM in additionto WPA AKM

Wiki: "IEEE 802.11w-2009 is an approved amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard to increase the security of its management frames". C is the correct answer.

B is correct, before set PMP to required, WPA and AKM must be configured. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/5700/software/release/3se/wlan/configuration_guide/b_wlan_3se_5700_cg/b_wlan_3se_5700_cg_chapter_01000.pdf (Page 3, Before You Begin, WPA and AKM must be configured.)
