CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 384
A company utilizes 802.11 for all client connectivity within a facility. Users in one part of the building are reporting they are unable to access company resources when connected to the company SSID.
Which of the following should the security administrator use to assess connectivity?
Answer options
- A. Sniffer
- B. Honeypot
- C. Routing tables
- D. Wireless scanner
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C, as routing tables provide essential information about the paths data takes through the network, helping to identify connectivity issues. Options A (Sniffer) and D (Wireless scanner) are useful for monitoring traffic and wireless signals but do not directly assess routing issues. Option B (Honeypot) is primarily used for detecting and studying attacks, not for assessing connectivity.
