Question 30
After a change at a coastal resort, the original incident was: A WAN outage makes the Mist portal unreachable and a technician assumes every locally bridged WLAN should immediately stop forwarding traffic. Which evidence BEST verifies that the specific failure has been corrected?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Already authorized clients retain supported local connectivity while fresh cloud telemetry temporarily stops. This directly checks the outcome of the chosen remediation and confirms the problem was not merely hidden. The diagnostic issue was: loss of cloud management connectivity does not necessarily remove existing local packet forwarding.
Incorrect Answers
Operations can correlate the cloud AP identity with its exact installation record. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a site goes live without any explicit AP naming convention and troubleshooting cannot match serials to physical rooms—but does not validate recovery from a WAN outage makes the Mist portal unreachable and a technician assumes every locally bridged WLAN should immediately stop forwarding traffic.
The accepted change has a named approver, recorded action and verified client-experience outcome. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a security review states that Mist AI recommendations automatically guarantee safe configuration changes without administrator oversight—but does not validate recovery from a WAN outage makes the Mist portal unreachable and a technician assumes every locally bridged WLAN should immediately stop forwarding traffic.
The AP reports online and required client-assurance events arrive in the designated organization. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a company expects site APs to deliver cloud-based assurance reports when telemetry egress is blocked at the branch firewall—but does not validate recovery from a WAN outage makes the Mist portal unreachable and a technician assumes every locally bridged WLAN should immediately stop forwarding traffic.
