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.

Why each option
Securing an enterprise wireless network against unauthorized access and interception while blocking peer-to-peer traffic requires 802.1X authentication, WEP encryption, and infrastructure-mode-only group policy.
IEEE 802.1X provides port-based network access control, requiring each device to authenticate via RADIUS before being granted network access, directly countering unauthorized wireless access.
WEP encryption protects the confidentiality of data transmitted over the wireless medium, addressing the requirement to prevent interception by unauthorized users.
Open system authentication performs no credential verification and allows any device to associate with the access point, directly violating the unauthorized-access requirement.
Allowing ad hoc mode connections via Group Policy would enable direct laptop-to-laptop communication, which the requirements explicitly prohibit.
Configuring wireless clients via Group Policy to connect only in infrastructure mode (through access points) rather than ad hoc mode prevents sales laptops from establishing direct peer-to-peer connections with one another.
