CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 535

A technician is helping to secure a wireless network at a home office and is looking to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to the network. Which of the following would be BEST for the technician to do? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Configure MAC filtering.
• B. Configure guest network isolation.
• C. Enable plug and play.
• D. Disable the SSID broadcast.
• E. Configure a captive portal.
• F. Disable unneeded ports.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Configuring MAC filtering allows the technician to specify which devices can connect to the network based on their MAC addresses, providing an additional layer of security. Disabling the SSID broadcast makes the network less visible to unauthorized users, further protecting it from unwanted access. The other options either do not directly prevent unauthorized access or are not as effective in this specific context.
