CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 119

A network engineer is configuring wireless access for guests at an organization. Access to other areas in the organization should not be accessible to guests.
Which of the following represents the MOST secure method to configure guest access to the wireless network?

Answer options

• A. Guests should log into a separate wireless network using a captive portal
• B. Guests should log into the current wireless network using credentials obtained upon entering the facility
• C. The existing wireless network should be configured to allow guest access
• D. An additional wireless network should be configured to allow guest access

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The most secure method is for guests to log into a separate wireless network using a captive portal, as this isolates guest traffic from the internal network. Options B and C expose the internal network to guests, which poses a security risk. Option D, while providing a separate network, does not specify the use of a captive portal, which enhances security by managing guest access effectively.
