A company wants to allow only authorized devices on the network, but also needs to segment the finance department from the engineering department. The switch supports both MAC address filtering and VLANs. What is the best way to meet both requirements?

Create separate VLANs for finance and engineering, and configure MAC address filtering on each VLAN to allow only authorized devices.

Create a single VLAN and use port security to limit each port to one MAC address.

Use only VLANs to segment the departments, and rely on physical security to prevent unauthorized access.

Use only MAC address filtering to block unauthorized devices, and keep all devices in one VLAN.

A network administrator wants to prevent a specific employee's laptop from accessing the corporate network through any wired port in the building. The laptop's MAC address is known. Which action should the administrator take?

Change the VLAN assigned to the laptop's current port

Disable the DHCP server so the laptop cannot obtain an IP address

Set the laptop's port to half-duplex mode

Configure MAC address filtering on the switch to deny that MAC address
