In the BYOD Guest Access lab, which isolation setting prevents guest clients from communicating with other clients on the same access point?

• A. Isolate wireless client traffic from other clients on the same AP
• B. Allow wireless client traffic from Guests to the Internet only
• C. Disable client isolation
• D. Isolate all traffic from the AP to the Internet

Answer: (A)

The key idea is client isolation on a wireless access point. When this setting is enabled, the AP prevents traffic from one wireless client from being delivered to other wireless clients connected to the same AP. That means guest devices can reach external resources (like the Internet) if allowed by upstream policies, but they cannot see or talk to other guests or devices on that same wireless network. This is precisely what the option stating “Isolate wireless client traffic from other clients on the same AP” does, making it the best choice for preventing guest-to-guest communication on the same AP. Disabling this would allow devices to communicate with each other, which defeats isolation. Isolating all traffic from the AP to the Internet would cut off Internet access. The “Internet only” policy is a different form of control and doesn’t directly specify per-AP client-to-client isolation.
