Config audits show drift re-enabled cleartext HTTP administration on several library-branch access points that policy requires to use HTTPS-only management. What remediation best restores policy conformance?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Policy said “use the locked front door,” and drift propped the side door open again. Turn HTTP admin off, force HTTPS (or equivalent secure management), and harden so the setting cannot quietly flip back. MAC filtering on users does not fix an open management path.
Full Explanation
Configuration drift that re-enables insecure AP administration violates WLAN security policy and expands remote compromise risk. Remediation adjusts configurations for policy conformance: disable cleartext HTTP management, require encrypted admin channels, and apply configuration lockdown or compliance monitoring to prevent recurrence. Client-association controls do not substitute for hardened infrastructure management planes.
