Question 270
The WLAN team at a retail distribution center has addressed this issue: A claimed wireless AP appears in the correct Mist organization but not under the branch where it is physically mounted. Which measurable observation would MOST convincingly demonstrate successful remediation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The AP reports the expected site, template and current management heartbeat. This directly checks the outcome of the chosen remediation and confirms the problem was not merely hidden. The diagnostic issue was: device claiming establishes ownership while site assignment establishes operating context.
Incorrect Answers
Only target sites change and global templates remain consistent with the change request. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a network operator edits a site-specific WLAN object expecting every other organization site to update automatically—but does not validate recovery from a claimed wireless AP appears in the correct Mist organization but not under the branch where it is physically mounted.
Sampled branches have matching SSID, security and forwarding settings after the template update. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a team manually configures the same SSID across dozens of branches and produces inconsistent VLAN and security policy—but does not validate recovery from a claimed wireless AP appears in the correct Mist organization but not under the branch where it is physically mounted.
Client VLAN traffic reaches the authorized Mist Edge cluster and its downstream network gateway. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a corporate WLAN must carry client VLANs to a central data center, but the design expects Mist cloud analytics to terminate the data tunnel—but does not validate recovery from a claimed wireless AP appears in the correct Mist organization but not under the branch where it is physically mounted.
