Before placing a new community-center AP into production, what authentication hardening step must the technician complete for management access?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Factory passwords are about as secret as the combination on a suitcase lock—everybody knows the usual guesses. Change them before the AP goes live. Shared citywide defaults are a gift to attackers.
Full Explanation
Authentication for AP management access requires replacing vendor default credentials with strong, unique passwords (or better, centralized auth where designed). Default passwords are widely known and create trivial compromise paths. Municipal production APs must not retain factory admin credentials or share a single default across the fleet.
