Kim, a network technician, is installing an 802.11n network. Which of the following should Kim enable to ensure that the network only allows 802.11n clients?

The correct answer is C. Disable 802.11b and 802.11g. 802.11n access points support backward compatibility with 802.11b and 802.11g clients by default. To enforce an 802.11n-only network, Kim must disable the older 802.11b and 802.11g modes. When older modes are active, the AP uses protection mechanisms that reduce overall…

Explanation

802.11n access points support backward compatibility with 802.11b and 802.11g clients by default. To enforce an 802.11n-only network, Kim must disable the older 802.11b and 802.11g modes. When older modes are active, the AP uses protection mechanisms that reduce overall throughput for all clients. SSID naming, DHCP pool size, and WPA encryption do not restrict clients by wireless standard.
