CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 699

A technician is configuring a wireless access point in a public space for guests to use. Which of the following should the technician configure so that only approved connections are allowed?

Answer options

• A. Geofencing
• B. Captive portal
• C. Secure SNMP
• D. Private VLANs

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a captive portal requires users to authenticate before accessing the network, ensuring that only approved connections are permitted. Options A, C, and D do not directly control user access in a public wireless setting; geofencing restricts location access, secure SNMP is for device management, and private VLANs are used for traffic segmentation within a LAN.
