JN0-451 Mist AI - Specialist (JNCIS-MistAI) Questions and Answers

According to Wikipedia1, 802.1X is an IEEE Standard for port-based network access control (PNAC). It provides an authentication mechanism to devices wishing to attach to a LAN or WLAN using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over wired IEEE 802 networks and over 802.11 wireless networks, which is known as “EAP over LAN” or EAPOL.

The authentication process involves three parties: a supplicant (the client device), an authenticator (the network device such as an access point), and an authentication server (typically a RADIUS server). The supplicant must provide valid credentials to the authenticator before it can access the network resources.

The credentials are exchanged with a RADIUS server prior to the 4-way Handshake because the 4-way Handshake is used to establish encryption keys between the supplicant and authenticator after successful authentication2. The credentials are exchanged with a RADIUS server after the 802.11 Association because the 802.11 Association is used to establish a logical link between the supplicant and authenticator before authentication can take place3.

According to the Wi-Fi configuration with Mist Systems | HCD Consulting GmbH document, three available rate limiting options in the Mist UI are:

The AI VALIDATED status update means that the issue was opened and Marvis confirms it has been closed.

According to the Marvis Virtual Network Assistant Datasheet1, the AI-VALIDATED status update means that the issue was opened and Marvis confirms it has been closed. This status indicates that Marvis has verified that the issue is no longer present and the root cause has been resolved.

According to the Mist documentation1, a Mist AP will pull a management IP address from the Native VLAN by default. However, if the Local Status Page is configured for the Site, all the site APs will pull their own IP address from the Management VLAN, but also addresses for each of the VLANs configured on the AP. This is because each AP creates a Switch Virtual Interface (SVI) for each VLAN on its eth0 interface.

The Local Status Page is a feature that allows you to access information about an AP’s status and configuration through a web browser by connecting to its IP address2. This feature can be enabled or disabled at the site level under Site Settings > Access Points > Advanced Settings.

According to the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller Software Configuration Guide1, a config template is a configuration object that can be used to apply consistent WxLAN and WLAN policies across all sites within the same organization. A config template can be applied to a site group, which is a collection of sites that share common attributes.

If a customer wants to broadcast a WLAN at a certain time and day of the week, SSID scheduling should be configured

According to the SSID Scheduling - Mist document1, SSID scheduling is a feature that allows you to customize your WLAN by choosing the exact days and times to broadcast the SSID. This feature can be useful for scenarios where you want to limit the availability of a WLAN to a certain time and day of the week.
