A network administrator is configuring a new WLAN to enhance security using Protected Management Frames (PMF). The goal is to provide protection for clients that support PMF, while still allowing legacy clients that do not support it to connect. Which PMF setting should the administrator select?
To allow both PMF-capable and non-PMF legacy clients to connect to the same WLAN, the administrator should configure PMF in "Optional" mode. This setting, also known as "Capable", enables PMF for clients that support the feature, increasing their security, while allowing non-capable clients to associate without PMF. Setting PMF to "Required" would block all non-PMF clients from connecting. Disabling PMF would remove this protection entirely for all clients.
