CompTIA Security+ (SY0-401) — Question 15

Which of the following is the best practice when securing a switch from physical access?

Answer options

• A. Disable unnecessary accounts
• B. Print baseline configuration
• C. Enable access lists
• D. Disable unused ports

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Disabling unused ports is essential for preventing unauthorized devices from connecting to the switch, thus enhancing security. While disabling unnecessary accounts, printing baseline configurations, and enabling access lists are also good practices, they do not directly address the risk of physical access as effectively as disabling unused ports does.
