Question 670
During follow-up testing at a medical clinic, engineers review a previously reported fault: A public guest SSID uses direct access with no portal even though the business requires time-limited guest authorization. Which observation confirms resolution rather than an unrelated improvement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Guests authenticate by the chosen portal and lose access after the approved authorization period. This directly checks the outcome of the chosen remediation and confirms the problem was not merely hidden. The diagnostic issue was: the WLAN's default direct-access option does not enforce a required guest admission workflow.
Incorrect Answers
Unverified guests remain unauthenticated during a simulated portal outage. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a guest authentication service is down and a configured bypass option silently authorizes new guests even though policy requires fail-closed access—but does not validate recovery from a public guest SSID uses direct access with no portal even though the business requires time-limited guest authorization.
The test guest sees the current approved terms and completes authorization only after the specified step. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a corporate-owned custom guest portal never displays the required acceptable-use terms after a template update—but does not validate recovery from a public guest SSID uses direct access with no portal even though the business requires time-limited guest authorization.
Each sensor class uses its intended key and receives the correct isolated subnet. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—two classes of IoT sensors connect to one SSID but require separate VLANs even though they both use PSK authentication—but does not validate recovery from a public guest SSID uses direct access with no portal even though the business requires time-limited guest authorization.
