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

In the IEEE 802.1X authentication process, the AP acts as an authenticator.

According to the Lecture 5 - Security - Part 1 document, the AP’s role in the IEEE 802.1X authentication process is to act as an authenticator. This means that the AP acts as a gatekeeper between the client device (supplicant) and the RADIUS server (authentication server). The AP forwards authentication messages between the supplicant and the server and grants or denies network access based on the server’s response.

Once a client discovers an access point, the correct order of steps for successful 802.1X authentication is Open System Authentication -> Association -> 802.1X Authentication. So the correct answer is D.Open System Authentication -> Association -> 802.1X Authentication.

The Wireless Assurance SLE that provides information on whether a user is able to associate to the WLAN is Successful Connect. So the correct answer is A. Successful Connect.

When deploying multiple Mist APs across many sites in your network and grouping similar devices together to easily apply consistent WxLAN policies across multiple sites, you should use device profiles.

The Wi-Fi Assurance SLE and classifier that would provide information about possible interference from a neighboring Wi-Fi network are Capacity and Wi-Fi Interference.
