Ann, a security administrator, has concerns regarding her company’s wireless network. The
network is open and available for visiting prospective clients in the conference room, but she
notices that many more devices are connecting to the network than should be.
Which of the following would BEST alleviate Ann’s concerns with minimum disturbance of current
functionality for clients?
A.
Enable MAC filtering on the wireless access point.
B.
Configure WPA2 encryption on the wireless access point.
C.
Lower the antenna’s broadcasting power.
D.
Disable SSID broadcasting.
This is an “open” wireless network (so there is no encryption)
A- Enable MAC filtering on the wireless access point. – Would be a nightmare to manage and administer
B- This will close the wireless network
D- It will be a nightmare for visiting prospective clients. People with the right tools would still be able to see what the SSID is anyways
C is the best answer
* Some access points include power level controls that allow you to reduce the amount of output provided if the signal is traveling too far.
It appears that the signal is going quite far so that people in the neighbourhood are able to connect for free to the open wireless network
