Exam 300-430 topic 1 question 209 discussion

C. AP > Credentials tab When configuring APs on a controller for 802.1x access to a wired infrastructure, the credentials (such as username and password) used for authentication are typically entered in the AP > Credentials tab. This is where you configure the shared credentials for all APs to authenticate with the wired network using 802.1x. The other options are not relevant for this specific task: A. Management > Local Management Users: This is for configuring local user accounts for managing the controller itself, not for AP authentication. B. Security > Advanced EAP: This is for configuring EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) settings, not for entering AP credentials. D. Wireless > Global Configuration: This is for general wireless settings, not for AP-specific credentials.

You can do the 802.1x config on every AP or in the global AP config The question call for the fastest way -> answer D
