Question 810
During follow-up testing at a medical clinic, engineers review a previously reported fault: A remote AP cannot establish a Mist Edge tunnel even though its normal local bridged guest WLAN works. Which observation confirms resolution rather than an unrelated improvement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The AP builds its approved tunnel and central VLAN packets arrive while local breakout continues separately. This directly checks the outcome of the chosen remediation and confirms the problem was not merely hidden. The diagnostic issue was: successful local forwarding does not prove that a centralized L2TPv3 path is reachable.
Incorrect Answers
Packet captures show guest VLANs in the intended tunnel and IoT VLANs on their approved path. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a campus chooses Mist Edge for guest access but accidentally tunnels the production IoT VLAN to the guest DMZ—but does not validate recovery from a remote AP cannot establish a Mist Edge tunnel even though its normal local bridged guest WLAN works.
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 a remote AP cannot establish a Mist Edge tunnel even though its normal local bridged guest WLAN works.
A controlled member outage preserves intended client forwarding within accepted service limits. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a single Mist Edge appliance is deployed without capacity headroom or failover for a campus that requires continued tunneled WLAN service—but does not validate recovery from a remote AP cannot establish a Mist Edge tunnel even though its normal local bridged guest WLAN works.
