QuestionQ102

Network Security Architecture

You are a Network Administrator for Tech Perfect Inc. The company has a Windows Server 2008 network environment configured as a Windows Active Directory-based, single-forest domain network. The company has recently issued fifty laptops to sales team members. You must configure an 802.11 wireless network for these laptops. Sales team members must be able to use data stored on a server in the wired network.

The proposed network must address the risks of unauthorized access and interception of data by an unauthorized user. You must also prevent sales team members from communicating directly with each other.

Which of the following actions will you take to accomplish this task?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

Choose two
  • A Implement the IEEE 802.1X authentication for the wireless network.
  • B Configure the wireless network to use WEP encryption for the data transmitted over a wireless network.
  • C Implement the open system authentication for the wireless network.
  • D Using group policies, configure the network to allow the wireless computers to connect to the infrastructure networks only.
  • E Using group policies, configure the network to allow the wireless computers to connect to the ad hoc networks only.
Explanation

IEEE 802.1X provides authenticated wireless access through the enterprise authentication infrastructure, preventing unauthorized clients from joining the protected WLAN. An infrastructure-only wireless Group Policy prevents connections to ad hoc networks, which are computer-to-computer networks and would allow sales laptops to communicate directly with one another. WEP is not sufficient protection against interception, and open-system authentication does not restrict access.
