Question
You work as a Network Administrator for Tech Perfect Inc. The company has a Windows Active Directory-based single domain single forest network. The functional level of the forest is Windows Server 2003. The company has recently provided fifty laptops to its sales team members. You are required to configure an 802.11 wireless network for the laptops. The sales team members must be able to use their data placed at a server in a cabled network. The planned network should be able to handle the threat of unauthorized access and data interception by an unauthorized user. You are also required to prevent the sales team members from communicating directly to one another. Which of the following actions will you take to accomplish the task? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

Explanation
Three measures together satisfy the stated requirements. WEP encryption (B) addresses the threat of data interception by encrypting traffic over the wireless network. Configuring via group policy to connect only to infrastructure mode - not ad-hoc mode - (D) prevents sales team laptops from communicating directly with one another, fulfilling the peer-isolation requirement. IEEE 802.1X authentication (E) provides port-based network access control, preventing unauthorized devices from joining the wireless network. Open system authentication (A) is explicitly excluded because it provides no authentication, leaving the network open to unauthorized access - the opposite of what the scenario requires.
