Question 620
At a metropolitan office, an issue has been corrected: During turn-up, an engineer uses the wrong organization activation code and a new AP appears under an unrelated test tenant. Which repeatable control should the team add to prevent it from returning?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Require two-person validation of customer organization before bulk AP claiming. This repeatable safeguard addresses the mechanism—activation identifiers bind physical devices to cloud organization inventory—and reduces the chance that the specific fault recurs.
Incorrect Answers
Validate AAA reachability and credentials when editing shared WLAN templates. This protects against another issue—a WLAN template advertises the expected name but clients fail to authenticate because it points to an obsolete RADIUS server—but is not the most direct prevention for during turn-up, an engineer uses the wrong organization activation code and a new AP appears under an unrelated test tenant.
Confirm claim ownership during procurement and returns before site scheduling. This protects against another issue—a replacement AP is physically present but still claimed by the reseller's Mist organization—but is not the most direct prevention for during turn-up, an engineer uses the wrong organization activation code and a new AP appears under an unrelated test tenant.
Maintain standardized AP naming and as-built site inventories during commissioning. This protects against another issue—a site goes live without any explicit AP naming convention and troubleshooting cannot match serials to physical rooms—but is not the most direct prevention for during turn-up, an engineer uses the wrong organization activation code and a new AP appears under an unrelated test tenant.
