A municipal guest SSID at City Hall needs an AP feature that stops one visitor laptop from talking directly to another visitor device on the same SSID. What should the technician enable?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of guest Wi-Fi like strangers sharing a waiting room—you do not want their laptops chatting peer-to-peer. Client isolation on the AP keeps guest stations from talking to each other while still letting them reach the gateway and Internet. That is the classic protect-guests-from-each-other knob.
Full Explanation
Client isolation (also called guest isolation or peer-to-peer blocking) prevents wireless clients on the same SSID from communicating directly through the AP. On public or municipal guest networks this reduces lateral risk between untrusted devices while allowing normal upstream access. Band steering, airtime fairness, and hiding the SSID do not provide peer-to-peer isolation.
