An auditor notes that unused Ethernet wall jacks in a civic center could let someone plug in a rogue AP. Which wired support control best addresses that physical attachment risk at the switch edge?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Rogue APs love lonely wall jacks. Port security and 802.1X on the switch are the bouncers at the Ethernet door—hiding an SSID or whispering the RF quieter doesn’t stop a cable plug-in.
Full Explanation
Physical port security and 802.1X on Ethernet switchports protect the wired edge that feeds WLAN infrastructure and user drops, reducing unauthorized AP attachment. Hiding SSIDs, lowering transmit power, or disabling WPA3 do not meaningfully solve rogue-AP plug-in risk at the switch port. Civic-center wiring standards should treat AP and user ports as controlled edges, not convenience outlets.
