N10-005 Question #443: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is A: Signal strength. Reducing the WAP's transmit power (signal strength) shrinks the RF coverage footprint, preventing the signal from reaching unintended areas like a parking garage.
Question
A network administrator is setting up a WAP and wants to disable the ability of gaining access from the parking garage. Which of the following should the network administrator review?
Options
- ASignal strength
- BSSID name
- CWPA2 encryption
- DWEP encryption
Explanation
Reducing the WAP's transmit power (signal strength) shrinks the RF coverage footprint, preventing the signal from reaching unintended areas like a parking garage.
Common mistakes.
- B. The SSID name is simply a network identifier label - changing or hiding it does not affect the RF power level or the physical distance the signal travels.
- C. WPA2 encryption secures the data transmitted over the wireless network but does not reduce the signal's range or prevent a device in the parking garage from detecting the AP.
- D. WEP encryption is a deprecated and weak security protocol that also has no effect on signal propagation distance or coverage area.
Concept tested. WAP signal strength adjustment to control coverage area
