CompTIA Network+ (N10-006) — Question 88

A company is installing several APs for a new wireless system that requires users to authenticate to the domain. The network technician would like to authenticate to a central point.
Which of the following would work BEST to achieve these results?

Answer options

• A. A TACACS+ device and a RADIUS server
• B. A TACACS and a proxy server
• C. A RADIUS server and an access point
• D. A RADIUS server and a network controller

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a RADIUS server works effectively for authenticating users on a wireless network through access points. Options A and B involve TACACS+, which is more suited for device management rather than user authentication on wireless systems. Option D, while relevant, suggests a network controller, which is not necessary for basic user authentication compared to the direct integration of a RADIUS server with an access point.
