1Which architecture underpins the Mist cloud platform, allowing independent scaling of individual services without full-stack redeployment?

A.Monolithic architecture

B.Microservices architecture

C.Client-server two-tier architecture

D.Hub-and-spoke architecture

Explanation: The Mist cloud is built on a microservices architecture in which each functional component (e.g., event streaming, ML engine, API gateway) runs as an independent service. This allows each service to scale horizontally on demand, be updated independently, and fail in isolation without taking down the entire platform — a key advantage over monolithic designs.

2A customer in Frankfurt requires that all Mist management data remain within the European Union for compliance reasons. Which Mist geographic cloud instance should they use?

A.Global 01

B.AP (Asia-Pacific) cloud

C.EU (European) cloud

D.Gov cloud

Explanation: Mist offers regionally isolated cloud instances. The EU cloud stores and processes all data within the European Union, satisfying GDPR and other EU data-residency requirements. Customers configure their organization to connect to the EU cloud (eu.mist.com) during onboarding; this is not retroactively changeable without re-claiming all APs.

3In Mist's organizational hierarchy, which level sits directly below the Organization and is used to logically group APs that share the same RF environment or policy requirements?

A.Floor plan

B.Zone

C.Site

D.AP group

Explanation: The Mist hierarchy is: Organization → Site → (floor plans, AP groups, policies within the site). A Site represents a physical location — typically a single building or campus — where all APs share RF design, WLAN policies, and SLE thresholds. Sites are the primary administrative boundary for RF, policy, and analytics isolation.

4What is the primary purpose of site variables in Mist?

A.To store Wi-Fi passwords for each SSID

B.To allow a single template to be applied across multiple sites while substituting site-specific values

C.To configure the DNS server addresses on the APs

D.To track the number of clients associated to each site

Explanation: Site variables (also called template variables) let administrators create one organization-level template — for example, a WLAN configuration — and insert site-specific placeholders (like VLAN IDs, RADIUS server IPs, or SSID names) that resolve differently at each site. This eliminates duplicate configuration objects and reduces management overhead across large multi-site deployments.

5Marvis VNA is described as a Virtual Network Assistant. Which interaction model does Marvis primarily use to answer network questions?

A.Command-line interface with proprietary syntax

B.Natural-language conversational interface

C.SNMP MIB browser with graphical output

D.YANG-based NETCONF queries

Explanation: Marvis is designed around a natural-language conversational interface. Administrators type or speak questions in plain English — such as 'Why is the 5 GHz coverage poor in Building A?' or 'Which APs have the most failed associations today?' — and Marvis responds with AI-interpreted answers, root-cause analysis, and recommended actions rather than requiring memorized CLI syntax.

6A network engineer asks Marvis: 'Why are clients failing to connect to SSID Corp-Wifi in Site A?' What type of Mist capability does this represent?

A.Passive monitoring with threshold alerts

B.AI-driven root-cause analysis via natural-language query

C.Manual packet capture initiation

D.RADIUS proxy configuration

Explanation: Marvis can ingest the full stream of Mist telemetry (association events, DHCP exchanges, RADIUS exchanges, SLE data) and use AI models to correlate failures, identify root causes, and respond in natural language. This converts what would be hours of log analysis into seconds of conversational query — a defining differentiator of Mist over traditional WLAN controllers.

7Which SLE (Service-Level Expectation) metric measures the percentage of clients that successfully complete all stages of Wi-Fi association and authentication?

A.Throughput

B.Time-to-connect

C.Successful connects

D.Coverage

Explanation: The 'Successful Connects' SLE tracks what percentage of client connection attempts fully complete the 802.11 association, 802.1X/PSK authentication, IP address acquisition (DHCP), and DNS resolution stages. A low Successful Connects score directly points to authentication or DHCP failures rather than RF issues, helping prioritize remediation.

8The Time-to-Connect SLE measures the duration from which two events?

A.AP boot to first association

B.Client 802.11 probe to successful DHCP ACK (IP address obtained)

C.PSK entry to RADIUS Accept

D.Mist AP cloud connection to first client authentication

Explanation: Time-to-Connect tracks the elapsed time from the client's initial 802.11 probe/association request through all authentication stages (PSK or 802.1X), DHCP exchange, and final IP address assignment. A long time-to-connect can indicate slow RADIUS response, DHCP scope exhaustion, or AP channel contention — Mist breaks this metric into classifiers to pinpoint which stage is slow.

9An administrator notices the Capacity SLE is degraded at a conference center during peak hours. Which of the following is the most likely root cause?

A.Clients are receiving low RSSI below −75 dBm

B.High client density or channel utilization is limiting per-client throughput

C.RADIUS authentication is timing out

D.APs are running outdated firmware

Explanation: The Capacity SLE reflects whether the AP can deliver adequate throughput given the current load. In high-density venues like conference centers, too many clients per AP, high channel utilization from neighboring APs or non-Wi-Fi interference, and low-data-rate legacy clients drag down capacity. Solutions include BSS coloring, load balancing, 6 GHz band adoption, and AP density increases.

10What does the Roaming SLE measure in the Mist platform?

A.How quickly APs hand off management-plane connections to the Mist cloud during failover

B.The success rate and latency of client transitions between APs within a site

C.The percentage of clients that roam between different geographic cloud instances

D.Whether APs maintain consistent channel assignments during client mobility

Explanation: The Roaming SLE tracks client transitions (roams) between APs — specifically whether those transitions complete successfully, how fast they complete (roaming latency), and how often they fail. Failed roams cause connectivity drops and VoIP/video quality issues. Classifiers within the Roaming SLE help identify whether failures stem from the association stage, authentication (PMKID/OKC), or DHCP renewal.
