Question

A network administrator wishes to limit the number of potential wireless clients to 20 on a specific AP. Which of the following settings needs to be changed?

Options

AThe network address translation IP range.
BThe signal strength of the router.
CThe DCHP lease time.
DThe number of allowable MAC addresses.

Explanation

MAC address filtering allows an administrator to create an explicit allowlist of devices permitted to connect to the AP. By setting the allowable MAC address list to exactly 20 entries, only those 20 devices can associate with the access point. Adjusting NAT IP range affects address translation, not client association limits. Reducing signal strength limits range but cannot precisely control the number of clients. Changing DHCP lease time affects how long IP addresses are held but does not prevent devices from associating with the AP at the wireless layer.
