Increasing the DHCP pool seems like it would just be a band-aid.

Shortening the DHCP lease time could help too, right?

Shortening the DHCP lease time might help free up addresses faster, but I’m not confident it would stop the unauthorized devices from connecting.

Changing the password seems like it could work, but I wonder if that would just lead to more issues with faculty access.

I think increasing the DHCP pool could be a quick fix, but it doesn't really address the unauthorized devices issue. I feel like we practiced a question similar to this.

I remember discussing MAC address filtering in class, but I'm not sure if it's the best temporary fix. It could help, but it might be a hassle to manage.

Changing the password immediately could help, but then you'd have to communicate that to all the authorized users, which could be a hassle.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the options carefully to find the best temporary solution.

Okay, I think I've got a strategy here. I'll go through the XML document and XSLT stylesheet step-by-step to see which element is not being transformed.

Haha, why don't we just change the password to 'password123' and call it a day? That'll really keep those pesky students out. Seriously though, increasing the DHCP pool size seems like the way to go.

I agree with Lashon's suggestion. Limiting access to allowed MAC addresses is a smart way to keep the network secure while we work on a permanent solution. Plus, it's a simple and effective temporary measure.
