Question

A technician is configuring a new SOHO multifunction wireless router at a customer’s location to provide network access to several wireless devices. The technician is required to protect the customer’s private network from unauthorized access while performing the initial router setup as well as during normal operation after the configuration is completed.Which of the following should the technician configure on the router? (Select TWO).

A. DMZ
B. DHCP
C. ARP
D. SSID
E. MAC filtering

Answer 1

The correct answer for the following question is SSID and MAC filtering.

Step-by-step explanation:

SSID

SSID stands for Service set identifier which means that it is used to connect the wireless network to the mobile phones.

For example : If we are in restaurant and we have to connect the wireless network i,e wi-fi it show many networks which simply as SSID.

MAC Identifier

Basically, MAC filtering is a type of security method based on the access control and is used to determine whether you are able to access the network or not. and are also prevents us from unwanted access of networks.

The SSID and MAC identifier are the two wireless routers provided by the technician required to protect the customer's private network from unauthorized access.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. SSID and E. Mac Filtering.

Step-by-step explanation:

D. SSID

SSID (Service Set Identifier) or identifier of the wireless network serves precisely to identify it among many others. Typically, by default it is given by the operator that provides us with the router, sometimes showing more information than it should on the type of router we have and its possible vulnerabilities.

Ideally, we should use a simple name to remember or find a personal relationship but do not refer to us directly or to our home. We can be as creative as we want, even hide the SSID completely if the router allows it or create several with different access permissions for guests.

E. Mac Filtering.

MAC addresses or also called physical addresses are those assigned to each network card recorded directly on its hardware and uniquely identify it from the rest. It is something like an IP address but lower level and is only used within the same subnet.

MAC filtering allows you to create a kind of list of allowed network devices. It is composed of 48 bits and is represented in 6 groups of hexadecimal numbers separated by a colon or hyphen. It's something like this: 01: 23: 45: 67: 89: AB or expressed as 01-23-45-67-89-AB.

MAC filtering will consist of creating a kind of list of network equipment allowed to connect to our Wireless router. To do this we must enter the corresponding option of the router and enter the addresses we want to authorize in our network. Depending on the model, we can also blacklist blocked equipment, thus preventing access to devices that we know for sure are intrusive of our Wireless router.
