A hospital network has a guest Wi-Fi SSID for visitors and a separate SSID for staff devices. The administrator wants to prevent guests from reaching the staff VLAN and the medical devices while still allowing internet access. Which configuration best achieves this?

Configure the guest SSID to use WPA2-PSK with a strong passphrase

Place both SSIDs on the same VLAN and rely on host-based firewalls on staff devices

Disable the guest SSID's DHCP so guests must use static IP addresses

Assign the guest SSID to a dedicated VLAN and apply an access control list on the router blocking traffic to staff and medical VLANs

What does the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 indicate about a network?

The network uses 16 bits for the host portion

The network uses 24 bits for the host portion

The network uses 8 bits for the host portion
