Actual exam question for CompTIA's N10-009 exam
Question #: 64
Topic #: 4
A network administrator is configuring a new switch and wants to ensure that only assigned devices can connect to the switch. Which of the following should the administrator do?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

To ensure that only assigned devices can connect to a switch, the network administrator should enable port security. Port security restricts port access based on MAC addresses, allowing only pre-configured devices to connect to the network. This helps prevent unauthorized devices from gaining access to the network. Other options like configuring ACLs, implementing a captive portal, or disabling unnecessary services serve different security purposes and do not directly restrict physical port access based on device identity.
