Question 440
At a regional research campus, an issue has been corrected: A reporting integration lists hundreds of AP records but processes only the first response page. Which repeatable control should the team add to prevent it from returning?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Test pagination against organizations larger than a single API response page. This repeatable safeguard addresses the mechanism—paginated REST APIs may return partial result windows per request—and reduces the chance that the specific fault recurs.
Incorrect Answers
Instrument HTTP throttling responses and backoff behavior in every integration. This protects against another issue—a client polls the complete Mist organization every second and repeatedly receives rate-limit errors—but is not the most direct prevention for a reporting integration lists hundreds of AP records but processes only the first response page.
Include management outage and local traffic tests in campus business-continuity exercises. This protects against another issue—a WAN outage makes the Mist portal unreachable and a technician assumes every locally bridged WLAN should immediately stop forwarding traffic—but is not the most direct prevention for a reporting integration lists hundreds of AP records but processes only the first response page.
Audit API token scopes and secret storage for every network automation integration. This protects against another issue—a script reads the correct Mist REST endpoint but receives 401 because no approved API credential accompanies the request—but is not the most direct prevention for a reporting integration lists hundreds of AP records but processes only the first response page.
