CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 560

A network technician is configuring a wireless access point and wants to only allow company-owned devices to associate with the network. The access point uses PSKs, and a network authentication system does not exist on the network. Which of the following should the technician implement?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, MAC filtering, as it allows the technician to specify which devices can connect to the network based on their MAC addresses. Captive portal (A) is used for guest access and doesn't restrict device types, guest network isolation (B) separates guest devices from the main network but doesn't limit connections by device type, and geofencing (D) restricts access based on geographic location, which is not relevant in this scenario.
