CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 119

A company is implementing a policy that will not allow employees to bring personal devices to the office and connect to the wireless network. Which of the following is the best way to enforce this policy?

Answer options

• A. MAC filtering
• B. 802.1X
• C. Port security
• D. ACL

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, 802.1X, as it provides authentication for devices attempting to connect to the network, ensuring only authorized devices can access it. MAC filtering (A) can be circumvented easily by spoofing MAC addresses, while port security (C) is more applicable to wired networks and can be complex to manage in a wireless context. ACLs (D) are used for traffic control rather than device authentication.
