Question 870
After a change at an airport terminal, the original incident was: A branch plans AP replacement during business hours without version or rollback checks, risking incompatible client behavior. Which evidence BEST verifies that the specific failure has been corrected?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The replacement matches intended software and service policy without new client regressions. This directly checks the outcome of the chosen remediation and confirms the problem was not merely hidden. The diagnostic issue was: wireless hardware lifecycle changes can alter firmware, policy and radio behavior.
Incorrect Answers
New APs receive power, valid addressing and permitted cloud management reachability. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a site turns on new access points before verifying switch ports, PoE budget and DHCP readiness—but does not validate recovery from a branch plans AP replacement during business hours without version or rollback checks, risking incompatible client behavior.
The device is decommissioned in inventory and no longer receives authorized service configuration. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a retired AP remains registered with active cloud administrative access long after removal from service—but does not validate recovery from a branch plans AP replacement during business hours without version or rollback checks, risking incompatible client behavior.
Survey results identify whether airtime sharing or partially overlapping emissions caused the impairment. This would demonstrate a different scenario was fixed—a WLAN team confuses a neighboring AP's valid same-channel transmissions with adjacent-channel interference from an overlapping channel—but does not validate recovery from a branch plans AP replacement during business hours without version or rollback checks, risking incompatible client behavior.
