Free Practice Questions for Juniper JN0-452 Exam

In Juniper Networks Mist AI Wireless, dynamic packet capture (dPCAP) is tightly integrated with events to enable rapid, context-aware troubleshooting. When Mist detects a systemic issue—such as a DHCP server becoming unresponsive—it automatically generates a site-level event because the problem impacts multiple devices within a site rather than a single client.

As shown in the exhibit, the event “DHCP is Unresponsive” lists multiple impacted devices and includes a timeline of contributing network events. This classification is critical: DHCP infrastructure failures are treated as site events, not client-specific or organization-wide events. When such a site event is triggered, Mist can automatically perform a dynamic packet capture on the relevant access points to capture DHCP Discover, Offer, Request, and Acknowledgment (DORA) traffic in real time.

To access this packet capture, an administrator must:

Navigate to the impacted site identified in the event.

Open the corresponding site event (in this case, the DHCP unresponsive event).

Download the automatically generated packet capture file, which can then be opened in Wireshark for detailed protocol-level analysis.

The incorrect options are explained as follows:

Organization events provide high-level visibility and auditing but do not host packet captures.

Client events are used when a single client experiences issues; they are not appropriate when multiple devices are impacted by a shared service failure.

Verifying an impacted client does not expose the dynamic packet capture tied to a site-wide DHCP issue.

Therefore, the correct method is to verify the impacted site and use the corresponding site event to fetch the automatically generated packet capture, making Option B the correct answer.

 According to the Data Rates - Mist document1, a honeypot AP is an AP that is not associated with your network, but broadcasts your corporate login page and WLAN name. This is a type of rogue AP that tries to trick users into connecting to it and revealing their credentials or other sensitive information.

According to the Juniper Mist Wireless Deployment Service Datasheet1, a configuration template at the organization level can be applied to a site group, not to an individual site. Therefore, there is no option to mention the site in the config template at the organization level.

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.

In the Juniper Mist AI ecosystem, the Wireless extensible LAN (WxLAN) is the modern, digital-ready policy framework used to allow or deny user access to network resources. Unlike traditional network architectures that rely on complex, manual access lists (ACLs) or cumbersome VLAN-based segmentation, WxLAN provides a simplified, label-based approach to network security. It enables micro-segmentation, allowing administrators to enforce granular access policies even for devices residing on the same flat Layer 2 network.

The core of a WxLAN policy is the association between Users and Resources using "labels".

Users are identified by labels representing Wi-Fi clients, specific WLANs, Access Points, or AAA attributes such as user groups received from a RADIUS server.

Resources are identified by labels representing specific hostnames, IP addresses, subnets, ports, or even entire application categories.

When creating a WxLAN policy, an administrator defines a set of rules processed from top to bottom. Each rule associates a user label with a resource label and specifies an action: Allow or Block. For example, a policy can be easily configured to allow a "Guest" user group access to "Social Media" while denying them access to "Internal Servers".

This framework is highly flexible, supporting both organization-level policies (within WLAN templates) and site-level policies. Because it is integrated directly into the Mist AI platform and enforced at the network edge (the APs), it provides real-time visibility and control without the need for additional hardware profilers or policy enforcers. By using "intent-based" labels rather than lines of complex CLI syntax, WxLAN simplifies the task of securing an enterprise-wide network for employees, guests, and IoT devices.

According to the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller Software Configuration Guide2, a non-compliant AP is an AP that has a different hardware model than what is expected by the cloud configuration. This can happen when an AP is replaced with an incorrect model or when an AP is moved to a different site group that has a different hardware model requirement. The solution is to replace the AP with the correct hardware model.

According to the JNCIS-MistAI Certification page2, two Mist APs that would be used for BLE location are AP33 and AP43. These are the only two models that support vBLE array technology, which enables accurate location services without physical beacons.

In wireless networking, Adjacent Channel Interference (ACI) occurs when two or more access points transmit on partially overlapping RF channels, causing their signals to interfere with one another. In the context of Juniper Networks Mist AI Wireless, ACI is a critical RF condition that negatively impacts client performance and service-level expectations (SLEs).

ACI is most commonly observed in the 2.4 GHz band, where only three non-overlapping channels (1, 6, and 11) are available. When access points are configured on channels such as 1 and 3, or 6 and 8, their frequency spectra overlap. This overlap results in corrupted frames, increased retransmissions, higher latency, and reduced throughput for connected clients. Unlike co-channel interference, ACI introduces uncoordinated interference, which is more damaging to overall network efficiency.

Mist AI Wireless continuously analyzes RF telemetry collected from access points and clients to identify ACI conditions. Using machine learning and RF intelligence, Mist can detect excessive retries, PHY errors, and degraded airtime efficiency associated with overlapping channels. These findings are surfaced through Marvis AI insights and RF-related SLE degradation indicators, allowing operators to quickly identify misconfigurations.

The incorrect options can be explained as follows:

Option A describes a properly designed RF environment with non-overlapping channels, which does not cause ACI.

Option C refers to co-channel interference (CCI), where access points share the same channel and rely on contention-based access mechanisms.

Option D is too broad; simply operating in the 2.4 GHz band does not inherently cause ACI unless overlapping channels are used.

To mitigate ACI, Mist best practices recommend using non-overlapping channels, minimizing channel width, and favoring the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands where more clean spectrum is available. Therefore, the correct description of ACI is two or more access points operating on overlapping channels.

According to the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller Software Configuration Guide2, you can create a new site configuration under the location hierarchy level in the Juniper Mist UI. A site is a logical grouping of devices based on physical location or other criteria.
