Question 230
During follow-up testing at a metropolitan office, engineers review a previously reported fault: After changing guest DNS settings, a team checks only RSSI and misses a new name-resolution problem. Which observation confirms resolution rather than an unrelated improvement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The guest cohort resolves permitted names with stable journey results and unchanged acceptable RF metrics. This directly checks the outcome of the chosen remediation and confirms the problem was not merely hidden. The diagnostic issue was: rF signal strength cannot reveal a downstream DNS failure.
Incorrect Answers
Client journey data isolates the affected post-connect dependency with Wi-Fi association still successful. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a branch reports slow application transactions while Wi-Fi association metrics remain healthy—but does not validate recovery from after changing guest DNS settings, a team checks only RSSI and misses a new name-resolution problem.
The relevant authentication latency and client success rate recover without RF hardware changes. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a Wi-Fi Time to Connect degradation starts after RADIUS changes, but a technician replaces AP antennas—but does not validate recovery from after changing guest DNS settings, a team checks only RSSI and misses a new name-resolution problem.
The mobile cohort's measured experience is visible separately from a single test workstation. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a Wi-Fi success report uses one healthy laptop as proof that all smartphones at the site meet the network experience goal—but does not validate recovery from after changing guest DNS settings, a team checks only RSSI and misses a new name-resolution problem.
