When technician identified the problem, he/she should establish a quick theory, the quick theory should be to ensure there is a guest password, or not.

The issue is not interference and has nothing to do with it, it has to do with security. You should add a guest password for security.

C is correct. Because guests should be required to type in the company password. It's definately not A because disabling unused ports is securing a switch along with assigning it a different VLAN.

Selected Answer: D

The issue is likely caused by interference from neighboring networks, including those in the nearby apartment complex. By changing the network channel, the technician can select a less congested channel that is less likely to interfere with other networks. This should help to reduce unauthorized access to the network. Disabling unused ports, removing the guest network, or adding a password to the guest network will not necessarily address the issue of unauthorized users on the network. These measures are more relevant to securing the network against unauthorized access by individuals who are physically present in the office, rather than unauthorized access from outside the office. -ChatGPT

Changing network channels does absolutely nothing to remove unwanted users off of your network. The only thing that would accomplish is reducing the interference, which just slows down your network. If you want unwanted users off of your network, then add a password to it.

It has to be C because it’s says doctors and patients are not the only people on the network.
