JN0-452 Exam Dumps - Mist AI Wireless - Specialist (JNCIS-MistAI-Wireless)

Referring to the exhibit and considering that it is in the USA, the WLAN with SSID Eero1234 is not configured to industry best practices while the WLAN with SSID NETGEAR24 is configured to industry best practices.

In Juniper Networks Mist AI Wireless, understanding modulation schemes is essential for designing and operating high-performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) networks. Modulation directly affects how much data can be transmitted per symbol, and therefore determines the maximum achievable data rates under optimal RF conditions.

802.11ax introduces 1024-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) as its highest supported modulation scheme. With 1024-QAM, each symbol encodes 10 bits of data, which represents a significant increase compared to earlier standards. For reference:

64-QAM (used in earlier standards) carries 6 bits per symbol

256-QAM (introduced in 802.11ac) carries 8 bits per symbol

1024-QAM increases this to 10 bits per symbol

This higher bit density allows Wi-Fi 6 devices to achieve higher peak throughput, especially in environments with excellent signal quality. However, 1024-QAM requires very high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and low interference to function reliably. As a result, it is typically achieved only when clients are close to the access point and RF conditions are clean.

Mist AI Wireless continuously monitors client RSSI, SNR, retransmissions, and modulation rates through advanced telemetry. Using this data, Mist can determine whether clients are successfully operating at higher modulation levels like 1024-QAM or are falling back to lower schemes due to RF impairments. This insight directly feeds into SLEs and AI-driven recommendations for RF tuning, AP placement, and channel planning.

The incorrect options are explained as follows:

64-QAM and 256-QAM are valid modulation schemes but do not provide the highest data rates in 802.11ax.

4096-QAM is not supported by the 802.11ax standard and is therefore invalid.

Thus, 1024-QAM is the modulation scheme that provides the highest data rate level for 802.11ax devices.

Within the Juniper Mist AI ecosystem, telemetry data and network activities are organized into distinct categories to facilitate efficient troubleshooting and monitoring. While "Organization" (A) represents a management hierarchy and "Security" (C) is a functional domain (such as Rogue AP detection or WxLAN policies), Mist specifically filters operational events into three primary categories: Site, AP (Access Point), and Client. These categories are reflected across the Mist dashboard, particularly within the Insights and Monitor views.

Site Events (E) represent macro-level issues that affect the entire physical location or a significant portion of the network infrastructure. Examples include DHCP server unreachable errors, DNS latency spikes, or site-wide configuration changes. These events are crucial for identifying systemic problems that originate from the wired side of the network or the local environment rather than individual wireless devices.

AP Events (B) focus on the health and status of the hardware itself. This category includes events such as AP reboots, firmware upgrades, Ethernet link toggling (up/down), and radio failures. By filtering for AP-specific events, administrators can quickly determine if a connectivity issue is localized to a specific hardware unit or a PoE power supply problem.

Client Events (D) provide the most granular level of visibility, tracking the specific journey of an end-user device. This includes the entire 802.11 state machine: association, authentication, and DHCP handshake. Client events are further classified as "Good," "Bad," or "Neutral," allowing Marvis AI to correlate failures (like an incorrect PSK or a slow DHCP response) to a specific user session. This three-tiered event structure—Site, AP, and Client—is the foundation of Mist's AI-driven root cause analysis, enabling the system to pinpoint exactly where in the stack a failure occurred.

In Juniper Networks Mist AI Wireless, accurate location-based services (LBS) depend heavily on proper RF design and access point density. Juniper recommends that devices participating in Mist LBS maintain line-of-sight (LoS) to at least three access points to achieve reliable and consistent location accuracy.

Mist location services use advanced techniques such as RSSI triangulation, virtual BLE (vBLE), and AI-driven probability surface modeling to calculate a device’s position. These algorithms require multiple independent signal measurements to accurately determine a device’s X,Y coordinates. With signals received from three or more APs, Mist can triangulate the device position effectively and minimize errors caused by multipath reflections, attenuation, or transient RF noise.

If a device has line-of-sight to only one or two APs, the system lacks sufficient spatial diversity to calculate a precise location. This can result in ambiguous positioning, reduced accuracy, or excessive location “drift.” While additional APs (four or more) can further improve accuracy and stability—especially in high-value use cases such as asset tracking or wayfinding—three APs is the recommended minimum baseline for dependable LBS performance.

Mist’s AI continuously evaluates signal quality, AP geometry, and environmental factors to refine location estimates, but it cannot compensate for insufficient AP visibility. As a result, Juniper best practices for LBS design emphasize:

Proper AP placement and height

Adequate AP density

Ensuring devices can “see” at least three APs at all times

The other options are incorrect because:

One or two APs do not provide enough data for reliable triangulation.

Four APs may improve accuracy but are not the minimum recommendation.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 3.

In Juniper Networks Mist AI Wireless, Radio Resource Management (RRM) is designed to optimize RF performance automatically while minimizing client impact. With the introduction of Wi-Fi 6E and the 6 GHz band, Juniper Mist follows industry standards and client behavior to ensure efficient and reliable operation. By default, Mist RRM uses the Preferred Scanning Channels (PSCs) in the 6 GHz spectrum.

The 6 GHz band introduces a very large number of available channels, which creates challenges for client discovery, scanning efficiency, and roaming speed. To address this, the IEEE defined Preferred Scanning Channels (PSCs)—a specific subset of 6 GHz channels that access points advertise and clients prioritize during active and passive scanning. These PSCs allow clients to discover networks faster without having to scan the entire 6 GHz channel set.

Juniper Mist RRM automatically selects and operates on these PSCs by default to:

Improve client discovery and association times

Reduce unnecessary scanning overhead

Enhance roaming performance

Maintain compatibility across a wide range of Wi-Fi 6E client devices

Mist continuously evaluates RF conditions using telemetry and AI-driven analysis, but it intentionally limits default operation to PSCs to balance performance, efficiency, and client interoperability. Administrators can override defaults and customize channel plans if required, but PSCs remain the recommended baseline for most deployments.

The incorrect options are explained as follows:

Option B is incorrect because Mist RRM does not require manual primary channel selection by default.

Option C refers to 2.4 GHz non-overlapping channels, not 6 GHz.

Option D represents the full 6 GHz channel range, which is not practical for default scanning or operation due to client limitations.

Therefore, the correct answer is the preferred scanning channels (PSCs), which Juniper Mist RRM uses by default in the 6 GHz band to ensure optimal Wi-Fi 6E performance.

According to the Lecture 3 - Radio Frequency and Antenna Fundamentals - Part 2 document2, an extended service set (ESS) is a group of basic service sets (BSSs) that share a common SSID and are connected by a distribution system (DS). Each BSS within the ESS has its own unique BSSID, which is the MAC address of the AP.
