Question 320
The team at an industrial warehouse has corrected this condition: An AP replacement inherits yesterday's unrelated template after a technician moves it without updating its site assignment. Which preventive practice BEST addresses the identified mechanism?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Require template-assignment validation for AP swaps and device transfers. This repeatable safeguard addresses the mechanism—cloud object hierarchy drives AP configuration and must reflect physical placement—and reduces the chance that the specific fault recurs.
Incorrect Answers
Require explicit change scope and object hierarchy in wireless tickets. This protects against another issue—a network operator edits a site-specific WLAN object expecting every other organization site to update automatically—but is not the most direct prevention for an AP replacement inherits yesterday's unrelated template after a technician moves it without updating its site assignment.
Include operational AP state checks after every high-impact template change. This protects against another issue—an organization change is approved but the affected AP has been offline for days and still uses an old WLAN policy—but is not the most direct prevention for an AP replacement inherits yesterday's unrelated template after a technician moves it without updating its site assignment.
Define organization-versus-site design criteria before onboarding campus buildings. This protects against another issue—an engineer creates a new Mist organization for every floor of one campus, then struggles to share approved wireless policies—but is not the most direct prevention for an AP replacement inherits yesterday's unrelated template after a technician moves it without updating its site assignment.
