QuestionQ160

Network Security Architecture

You are a Network Administrator for Tech Perfect Inc. The company operates a Windows Active Directory-based, single-domain, single-forest network. The forest functional level is Windows Server 2003. You install access points to enable a wireless network. Sales team members and managers will use laptops to connect to the LAN through wireless connections, so WLAN network interface adapters are installed on their laptops.

However, you need to prevent sales team members and managers from communicating directly with one another. Instead, they must communicate through the network access points. Which of the following topologies will you use to accomplish this task?

  • A Infrastructure
  • B Star
  • C Ad hoc
  • D Mesh
Explanation

An infrastructure wireless topology connects client devices through a wireless access point rather than directly to each other. This supports centralized wireless LAN communication and avoids the peer-to-peer client communication characteristic of an ad hoc topology.
