Question 390
After a change at an airport terminal, the original incident was: An organization change is approved but the affected AP has been offline for days and still uses an old WLAN policy. Which evidence BEST verifies that the specific failure has been corrected?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The AP reconnects and reports the expected applied WLAN configuration and client behavior. This directly checks the outcome of the chosen remediation and confirms the problem was not merely hidden. The diagnostic issue was: cloud-side object edits cannot be presumed active on disconnected devices.
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 an organization change is approved but the affected AP has been offline for days and still uses an old WLAN policy.
Site inventories remain separated but share approved organization-level WLAN policies and reporting. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—an engineer creates a new Mist organization for every floor of one campus, then struggles to share approved wireless policies—but does not validate recovery from an organization change is approved but the affected AP has been offline for days and still uses an old WLAN policy.
The AP reports the expected site, template and current management heartbeat. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a claimed wireless AP appears in the correct Mist organization but not under the branch where it is physically mounted—but does not validate recovery from an organization change is approved but the affected AP has been offline for days and still uses an old WLAN policy.
