An assessor reads ENC and AUTH columns on a municipal Wi-Fi survey. What should those fields primarily help distinguish?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
ENC and AUTH are the survey’s “how is this BSS locked?” columns—crypto flavor and PSK versus 802.1X-style clues. They do not tell you PoE ports or client GPS pins.
Full Explanation
Survey encryption and authentication columns summarize how a BSS protects itself: cipher/security mode and whether authentication appears PSK/Personal or management/802.1X Enterprise-class. That reading drives later technique selection. Those fields do not describe wired PoE, IP version policy, or precise client geolocation.
