Topic #: 1
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.
In order to enable wireless networking, you have to install access points in various areas of your office building. These access points generate
omni directional signals to broadcast network traffic. Unauthorized users can intercept these packets. Hence, security is the major concern for
a wireless network. The two primary threats are unauthorized access and data interception. In order to accomplish the task, you will have to
take the following steps:
Using group policies, configure the network to allow the wireless computers to connect to the infrastructure networks only. This will
prevent the sales team members from communicating directly to one another.
Implement the IEEE 802.1X authentication for the wireless network. This will allow only authenticated users to access the network data
and resources.
Configure the wireless network to use WEP encryption for data transmitted over a wireless network. This will encrypt the network data
packets transmitted over wireless connections. Although WEP encryption does not prevent intruders from capturing the packets, it
prevents them from reading the data inside.
