JNCIS-DC: Juniper Networks Certified Specialist – Data Center — Question 8

A customer is replacing their previous WLAN controller with a Mist Edge to maintain centralization of user traffic.
How does Mist Edge affect control plane forwarding and data plane forwarding in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Control plane forwarding applies to the Mist Cloud and data plane forwarding applies to the Mist Edge.
• B. Control plane forwarding applies to the Mist Edge and data plane forwarding applies to the Mist Edge.
• C. Control plane forwarding applies to the Mist Cloud and data plane forwarding applies to the Mist Cloud.
• D. Control plane forwarding applies to the Mist Edge and data plane forwarding applies to the Mist Cloud.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because in this setup, the control plane operations are managed by the Mist Cloud, while the data plane operations are processed locally by the Mist Edge. Options B and D incorrectly assign data plane forwarding to the Mist Edge when it should be with the Mist Cloud, and option C mistakenly assigns both planes to the Mist Cloud.
