UTM (Unified Threat Management) - CORRECT ANSWER - Device that
combines multiple security controls into a single console. It centralizes all of
our security tools into one place.
ACL (Access Control List) - CORRECT ANSWER - Data (user names,
passwords, IP address, MAC address, etc.) that is used to control access to a

802.11n - CORRECT ANSWER - Dual Band Wireless, can operate on 2.4GHz
or 5GHz. It has a max throughput of 600Mbps (Realistically around 200-
300Mbps)
802.11ax - CORRECT ANSWER - Wifi 6, It "technically" operates on the
5GHz or 6GHz band, it is the fastest wifi standard we have currently
MIMO (multiple input-multiple output) - CORRECT ANSWER - The use of
multiple antennas to send and receive data on the same channels, at the same
time for performance increases. This is how we can simulate full-duplex.

manually entered by an admin
Dynamic Routes - CORRECT ANSWER - A route in a routing table that is
automatically entered in by a routing protocol such as RIP or OSPF
