Question 520
At an electronics assembly plant, an issue has been corrected: A Mist site has active APs but Marvis Minis runs no validation because one AP uses firmware below the required supported level. Which repeatable control should the team add to prevent it from returning?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Audit AP firmware compliance before enabling site-wide synthetic tests. This repeatable safeguard addresses the mechanism—a single incompatible site AP can prevent Minis operation even when others are current—and reduces the chance that the specific fault recurs.
Incorrect Answers
Require postchange Minis reruns or confirmed scheduled test recovery in closeout. This protects against another issue—a Marvis Minis synthetic test reports a failed guest service even after a technician changed the SSID, but no one reruns the check—but is not the most direct prevention for a Mist site has active APs but Marvis Minis runs no validation because one AP uses firmware below the required supported level.
Document Marvis Minis test coverage and known gaps per WLAN service. This protects against another issue—a school expects Marvis Minis synthetic tests to validate every real mobile client path while the synthetic tests cover only one WLAN and VLAN—but is not the most direct prevention for a Mist site has active APs but Marvis Minis runs no validation because one AP uses firmware below the required supported level.
Define action-specific automation eligibility, permission and rollback requirements. This protects against another issue—a technician sees a Marvis Action that can be self-remediated and assumes all action classes permit autonomous configuration without permissions or policy—but is not the most direct prevention for a Mist site has active APs but Marvis Minis runs no validation because one AP uses firmware below the required supported level.
