Question

A network technician is setting up a wireless access point in the front office of a small company. The technician needs to disable an option on the access point that would allow devices to dynamically add themselves to the network without configuration. Which technology should the technician disable?- NAT- UPnP- MAC filtering- port forwarding

Answer 1

He should disable UPnP technology to disallow devices to dynamically add themselves to the network without configuration.

Step-by-step explanation:

• UPnP stands for Universal Plug n Play.
• It is an easiest way that allows gadgets to find all other devices connecting to your network.
• This can also modify router settings to allow devices from outside the network to access the router.
• External IP address can also be obtained by the gadget and a new port forwarding map can be set
• So from all perspectives, UPnP is an open invitation for hackers to scan for the ports and hack into the device.
• UPnP is a vulnerability to the secure system
