What would be an example of an “UNMANAGED” device?
e.g. BYOD (i.e. employees’ mobile phones, tablets, etc.)
It could be something like a lawyer 2 switch or a hubs
I think you are thinking of a different kind of unmanaged. Unmanaged in this sense is any device on the network that the admins don’t control. This could be guest laptops, or staff BYOD, or improperly deployed equipment, or even equipment that has been compromised and is no longer under their control (eg a staff member reinstalled OS on a work computer).
Or a rouge Laptop, any device foreign to the network
Best advice I’ve seen for these tests so far has come from the “Get Certified Get Ahead CompTIA Security+ SY0-401 Study Guide”, written by Darril Gibson. He states that CompTIA for the most part asks straight forward questions…unlike some other certification exams that try to word screw you. Don’t get creative on these question…the most likely answer will more than likely be the correct one.
Please, correct the IEEE 802.1X spelling. The “X” should be a capital “x”! See http://www.ieee802.org/1/pages/802.1x.html
