CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 5

A network administrator wants to implement an authentication process for temporary access to an organization's network. Which of the following technologies would facilitate this process?

Answer options

• A. Captive portal
• B. Enterprise authentication
• C. Ad hoc network
• D. WPA3

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a captive portal provides a web-based interface for users to authenticate before accessing the network, making it ideal for temporary access. Options B and D are more suited for permanent or enterprise-level authentication and security, while C refers to a type of network setup rather than an authentication method.
