Question 610
The WLAN team at a large university has addressed this issue: An administrator expects Juniper Mist RRM to automatically change channel widths from 80 MHz to 20 MHz and never reviews bandwidth settings. Which measurable observation would MOST convincingly demonstrate successful remediation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The documented manual width setting is applied while RRM continues optimizing supported channel/power choices. This directly checks the outcome of the chosen remediation and confirms the problem was not merely hidden. The diagnostic issue was: the current Mist RRM feature does not automatically adjust configured channel bandwidth.
Incorrect Answers
A planned subset of radios is disabled without creating coverage holes and the capacity SLE improves. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a school uses 2.4 GHz radios on every AP in a dense environment and capacity suffers from heavy same-channel reuse—but does not validate recovery from an administrator expects Juniper Mist RRM to automatically change channel widths from 80 MHz to 20 MHz and never reviews bandwidth settings.
The cause is traced to the powered-down uplink and normal service resumes after switch recovery. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—an operator sees an AP disconnect event immediately after a scheduled PoE switch reboot but investigates only WLAN encryption—but does not validate recovery from an administrator expects Juniper Mist RRM to automatically change channel widths from 80 MHz to 20 MHz and never reviews bandwidth settings.
Only eligible AP models activate supported 5 GHz radio conversion and coverage measurements reflect the change. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a supported dual-band AP can be converted to additional 5 GHz coverage, but the administrator assumes every AP model supports this capability—but does not validate recovery from an administrator expects Juniper Mist RRM to automatically change channel widths from 80 MHz to 20 MHz and never reviews bandwidth settings.
