JN0-253 Mist AI - Associate (JNCIA-MistAI) Questions and Answers

A high percentage of Asymmetry Uplink errors indicates coverage holes caused by asymmetric uplink strength between the AP and client devices. According to Juniper Mist's official documentation: "Asymmetry Uplink—Clients received a weak signal due to asymmetric uplink strength between the AP and the client device. (Uplink traffic is the traffic going from the client to the AP, and then to the Internet.) Asymmetry can occur for various reasons, such as clients being too far from the AP." This generally means that clients are physically located at a distance or behind obstacles (such as walls), causing the AP to detect weak signals from those clients. Coverage holes arise when APs are placed such that some areas have insufficient RF coverage, and the low-powered client devices cannot maintain reliable communication with the AP—even though the AP, with its higher transmit power, might hear the client, the client cannot send strong enough signals back. The SLE classifier is designed to highlight such areas for remediation, prompting network admins to review and enhance AP placement or signal thresholds.

A self-driving AI network is comprised of two foundational components: actions and telemetry. According to Juniper’s own communications, "Marvis AI analyzes telemetry across the wired, wireless, WAN and data center domains, and creates automated workflows to simplify operations and lower costs. Agentic AI: Accelerating self-driving operations." Telemetry provides real-time continuous data and metrics from the network, including client, device, and application health, enabling the AI engine to build a current, actionable state model. Actions refer to proactive, automated tasks performed by the AI, such as remediating misconfigured ports, resolving anomalies, optimizing performance, and self-healing operations—"Expanded Self-Driving Actions… the Marvis Actions dashboard now supports the autonomous remediation of more network issues." Human interface and support tickets are beneficial for management and support, but the core capabilities of a self-driving AI network are telemetry (data/observability) and actions (automation/remediation).​

In theJuniper Mist Cloud, theClient Eventssection within theMonitoringinterface displays detailed event logs for both wired and wireless clients, providing insights into connectivity, authentication, and performance-related activities. Each event entry may include associated diagnostic files such asdynamic packet captures (DPCs),traceroute data, andsyslogsdepending on the event type and device context.

According to theJuniper Mist AI Operations and Client Event Diagnostics Guide, the platform states:

“Wireless client events provide correlation between client connection attempts and associated diagnostic artifacts such as dynamic packet captures. These files are generated automatically during troubleshooting events and are attached to the event log for administrator review.”

From the exhibit, theclient is shown as a wireless device, indicated by theWi-Fi iconand theSSID association informationvisible in the event details. Additionally, the entry confirms that adynamic packet capture (DPC)file was automatically generated for the event, allowing engineers to download and inspect packet-level activity for root-cause analysis.

Therefore:

B (It is a wireless client)is correct — the event pertains to a Wi-Fi-connected device.

C (A dynamic packet capture file is included)is correct — the log includes a downloadable DPC file.

TheJuniper Mist Asset Visibilityservice provides real-time tracking and visibility for important devices and objects within indoor environments such as hospitals, offices, or warehouses. It usesBluetooth Low Energy (BLE)technology andMist vBLE-enabled access pointsto determine the precise location of tagged assets.

According to theJuniper Mist Location Services Guide, the feature is defined as:

“Asset Visibility leverages virtual Bluetooth LE technology and BLE tags to locate and track assets on floor plans in real time, providing actionable location-based intelligence.”

Key functionalities include:

Tracking BLE-tagged assets such as medical equipment, IT devices, or inventory.

Displaying live location information on floor maps.

Integrating with external asset management or workflow systems.

WhileUser Engagementfocuses on customer-facing location experiences (e.g., navigation or proximity marketing),Asset Visibilityis designed specifically for internal asset monitoring and operational efficiency.

Therefore, the correct answer isC. Asset Visibility.

When a customer requests asubscription renewalfor Juniper Mist services via e-mail, the process is handled through a coordinated workflow between theJuniper Mist Cloud licensing systemandJuniper Support. The renewal request ensures that existing service entitlements—such asWireless Assurance,Wired Assurance,WAN Assurance,Marvis AI, orPremium Analytics—continue without interruption.

According to theJuniper Mist Cloud Licensing and Subscription Management Guide, the renewal workflow is described as follows:

“When a renewal request is submitted via e-mail, Juniper Mist support receives and validates the request, initiates processing for the selected subscriptions, and issues a new activation code once the renewal is completed.”

Here’s what happens after the renewal request:

B.The Juniper Mist systemsends a confirmation e-mailacknowledging the renewal request and routes it tosupport for processing.

C.Once processed,Juniper Mist generates and delivers an activation codevia e-mail that must be entered into the Mist portal to activate the renewed subscription(s).

Incorrect options:

A:No promotional materials or physical packages are sent.

D:A cancellation notice is not sent for renewal requests; it applies only to expired or terminated subscriptions.

Therefore, the correct answers areB. Juniper Mist e-mails the support request for the selected subscriptionsandC. Juniper Mist processes the order and sends an activation code.

TheJuniper Mist Cloud platformis built on amicroservices-based architecture, where individual software components perform specific functions and communicate using well-definedApplication Programming Interfaces (APIs).

According to theJuniper Mist Cloud Architecture and Operations Guide:

“Microservices communicate through secure APIs, allowing independent services to interact seamlessly while maintaining modularity and isolation.”

This architectural design provides major operational benefits, including:

Independent scalability– each service can scale based on workload demand.

Fault isolation– failures in one service do not affect others.

Continuous deployment– updates can be made to one service without impacting the rest of the platform.

Incorrect options:

B:Juniper Mist microservices are independently updated, not deployed as one suite.

C:They are independent, not dependent on one another.

D:Each microservice maintains its own data model; they do not rely on a single shared database.

Thus, the correct answer isA. Microservices communicate with each other using APIs.

Juniper Mist Location Services provide asset location and wayfinding. According to official Juniper documentation: "Juniper Mist provides location accuracy for wayfinding, asset visibility, and user engagement," leveraging cloud-native vBLE and Wi-Fi technologies.

Asset location enables organizations to locate high-value resources, personnel, or IoT devices in real time with rich analytics, making it easy to find assets and people using the Mist dashboard and APIs.

Wayfinding gives users turn-by-turn indoor navigation and mapping via mobile SDKs and the Mist cloud.While geofencing can be achieved as part of location-based engagement features, it is not listed as a primary Mist Location Service solution. GPS location is not directly supported; Mist Location Services operate indoors using Wi-Fi and BLE signals, not satellite GPS.

In theJuniper Mist Cloud architecture, bothwebhooksandAPIsare key interfaces for automation, integration, and data exchange with third-party systems. While they both facilitate communication between Mist and external applications, they operate inopposite directionsand serve distinct purposes.

According to theJuniper Mist API and Webhook Developer Guide:

Webhooksarepush-based notificationsinitiated by the Juniper Mist Cloud. When specific events occur (such as device disconnection, client onboarding, or alert generation), Mist sends structured JSON payloads to a preconfigured external URL endpoint.

APIs(Application Programming Interfaces) arepull-based querieswhere an external client polls the Mist Cloud to retrieve or update data (e.g., inventory, configuration, or metrics).

Additionally, the Mist Cloud enforcesrate limitson API calls to ensure platform stability and fair usage:

“API rate limits are applied on a per-organization basis to prevent excessive polling and to maintain consistent performance.”

In contrast, webhooks do not have a strict hourly quota because they are event-triggered rather than continuous requests.

Therefore:

Ais correct — Webhooks push, APIs pull.

Bis correct — There is an hourly API rate limit per organization.

OptionsCandDare incorrect because webhooks are event-based (not rate-limited hourly) and do not configure Mist objects directly—they only send notifications.

InJuniper Mist Wireless Assurance, theCoverage SLE (Service Level Expectation)measures the quality and consistency of Wi-Fi signal coverage across an organization’s wireless infrastructure. It provides insight into how well clients can connect to access points with sufficient signal strength and quality.

According to theJuniper Mist AI Operations and Analytics Guide, the Coverage SLE is defined as:

“The percentage of client connections that meet the minimum signal strength threshold required for satisfactory performance. Sub-threshold values represent areas where coverage is inadequate or inconsistent.”

In the exhibit, the SLE visualization shows79% successful coverageand21% unsuccessful coverage, meaning that21% of connection attempts or client areas did not meet the desired signal strength threshold. These failures may be caused by factors such as:

Insufficient AP density or placement.

RF interference from neighboring devices.

Physical obstructions impacting signal propagation.

Thus, theunsuccessful coverage percentage is 21%, indicating potential areas where additional APs or configuration optimization may be needed to improve user experience.

InJuniper Mist’s Location-Based Services, theAsset Visibilityservice utilizes the built-inBluetooth Low Energy (BLE)antenna array within Mist Access Points to track BLE tags and devices inlisten-only mode. This allows the APs to receive BLE signals emitted by assets and compute their real-time location usingangle-of-arrival (AoA)andRSSI-based triangulation.

According to theJuniper Mist Asset Visibility and Location Services Guide:

“When operating in Asset Visibility mode, the vBLE antenna array in Mist Access Points functions in listen-only mode, collecting BLE chirps from asset tags and relaying this data to the Mist Cloud for location determination.”

This configuration differs fromvBLE Engagement, where APs transmit BLE beacons to interact with mobile apps. InAsset Visibility, the BLE array passively listens to track tagged assets (e.g., equipment, IoT devices) across a defined floor map.

Therefore, the correct answer isD. Asset Visibility.

InJuniper Mist Wireless Assurance, radio frequency (RF) configurations such as transmit power, channel width, and band selection are typically managed throughRF Templatesat the site or organization level. However, administrators canoverride RF Template settingsfor specific devices or groups of devices when custom configurations are required.

According to theJuniper Mist Wireless Assurance Configuration Guide, RF template overrides can be accomplished using two UI configuration options:

“Administrators can apply overrides to RF settings either per access point using AP-specific settings or across a defined group of APs using labels.”

AP-specific settings (A):Allow administrators to manually modify the radio parameters of a single access point, overriding site-level template values.

Labels (C):Used to group access points logically (e.g., by floor or building) and apply customized configurations or overrides to those APs collectively.

Device Profiles (B)are used for wired switch configurations, andWLAN Templates (D)control SSID-related configurations—not RF parameters.

Therefore, the correct answers areA. AP-specific settingsandC. Labels.

In theJuniper Mist Cloud, theSubscriptionspage provides administrators with detailed information about the status of service licenses and subscriptions associated with devices, sites, and organizations. This includes visibility into the number of active devices, sites, and anyunused subscriptionsacross the organization.

According to theJuniper Mist Cloud Licensing and Subscription Management Guide, the “Sites” section under Subscriptions Summary shows:

“The total number of configured sites within the organization and the number of sites that currently do not have assigned subscriptions.”

In the exhibit, the summary shows:

82 Sitestotal

15 Unusedsites

This indicates that15 sites currently have no active or assigned Marvis for Wireless subscriptions. The “Unused” label under Sites refers specifically to the count of sites not yet utilizing their allocated subscription entitlements.

Therefore, the correct answer isB. 15.

InJuniper Mist Wired Assurance, assigningrolesto switches is a key configuration mechanism for deploying consistent network policies across multiple devices. Switch roles act as logical identifiers that bind devices to specificconfiguration templatesorpolicy profiles, ensuring standardized setup and reducing manual configuration overhead.

According to theJuniper Mist Wired Assurance Configuration and Template Management Guide:

“Switch roles are used to group devices based on function or location and automatically apply predefined configuration templates and policies at scale.”

This enables administrators to:

Automatically assign VLANs, port profiles, and policies to multiple switches simultaneously.

Simplify deployment for large organizations with multiple sites.

Ensure uniform compliance with enterprise configuration standards.

Roles arenot usedto configure WLANs (wireless function), manage users, or directly monitor traffic — those tasks are handled through other Mist AI services.

Therefore, the correct answer isC. To assign configurations at scale.

The three valid methods for requesting authentication with the Juniper Mist API are:

Use an HTTPS login with a user name and password: The Mist API accepts HTTPS requests where credentials are provided directly for session/token generation and user administration.

Use OAuth2 linked to an OAuth provider: "Juniper Mist APIs offer authentication via OAuth2 with various OAuth-compatible identity providers, such as Okta, for secure and federated access."

Enable basic authentication with a token: Mist APIs accept programmatic requests using tokens (API tokens or bearer tokens) for automation, scripting, and integration—each token mapping to specific scopes and user permissions.

Enabling MFA with Okta Verify enhances user portal security but is not an API authentication mechanism. RADIUS certificates are used for infrastructure 802.1X authentication, not for API access.

ThePredictive Analytics and Correlation Engine (PACE)is the core AI engine that powers theJuniper Mist Cloud. It is designed to continuously learn from real-time telemetry and user interactions across wireless, wired, and WAN networks to proactively identify anomalies and predict performance issues.

According to theJuniper Mist AI Cloud and PACE Architecture Documentation, PACE:

“Leverages machine learning and advanced analytics to correlate data across millions of network sessions, automatically identifying patterns that affect user experience.”

The engine continuously evaluates key Service Level Expectations (SLEs), such asTime to Connect,Throughput, andRoaming, to establish performance baselines and detect deviations before users notice them.

PACE doesnot rely on manual analysisoruser feedback, and it integrates telemetry rather than external monitoring tools to maintain a closed-loop feedback system for self-correction and optimization.

Therefore, PACE usesmachine learning (A)to understand, predict, and improve end-user experience across Juniper Mist-managed networks.

To supportmobile device engagementwithin theJuniper Mist Cloud UI, you mustenable virtual Bluetooth Low Energy (vBLE). The vBLE functionality allows Mist Access Points (APs) to transmitBluetooth beaconsthat interact with mobile devices running location-aware applications. This capability is essential foruser engagement servicessuch as indoor navigation, proximity notifications, and personalized customer interactions.

According to theJuniper Mist Location-Based Services Configuration Guide, the process is defined as follows:

“To enable mobile engagement and location-based experiences, the vBLE feature must be activated on supported Mist Access Points. Once enabled, APs transmit programmable BLE signals that communicate with mobile devices through the Mist SDK.”

Enabling vBLE allows administrators to:

Providewayfindingandpush notification serviceswithin indoor environments.

Supportmobile app integrationthrough theMist Location SDK.

Customize engagement campaigns viavirtual beaconswithout requiring physical beacon hardware.

Other options are incorrect because:

Wi-Fi 6improves wireless efficiency but is unrelated to BLE-based engagement.

Local Status Pageis used for AP health monitoring, not engagement.

ESL (Electronic Shelf Labels)applies to retail price display systems, not user interaction.

Therefore, the correct answer isA. Enable vBLE.

Alerts represent network and device issues that are ongoing. Juniper Mist™ categorizes them as follows:

Infrastructure Alerts—Repeated events involving servers and protocols that can potentially affect a large number of clients. For example, an event during which a Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or RADIUS server is unreachable can affect many clients. Similarly, if a power supply on a switch is in alarm state, a large number of clients and a large amount of traffic could be affected.

Marvis Alerts—Repeated events that Marvis tracks on the Marvis Actions dashboard. For example, if an access point (AP) regularly fails health checks, you'll see a Marvis alert for it.

Security Alerts—Repeated events that could dramatically affect network security. For example, these alerts appear if a rogue AP is detected and clients start connecting to it.

Certificate Alerts—Notification for expired, and soon-to-expire, user-added digital certificates. These include RadSec (configured at Organization > Settings > RadSec Certificates and AP RadSec certificate), SSO (configured at Organization > Settings > Single Sign-On), and PSK Portal IDP certificates (configured at Organization > Client Onboarding). Certificate alerts appear on the Alerts page and begin 30 days before the certificate's expiry date, then the notification repeats 15, 7, 3, and 1 day before expiration unless the certificate is renewed. .

In theJuniper Mist Cloud platform, user roles define the scope of permissions that determine what administrative functions an individual can perform within an organization. TheSuper Userrole represents thehighest level of administrative authoritywithin a Juniper Mist organization and carries full control over both organization-wide and site-specific configurations.

According to theJuniper Mist Cloud Administration and User Management documentation, the Super User role is described as:

“The Super User role provides full read and write access across the entire organization. Only Super Users can manage organization-level settings, add or remove other administrators, and assign privileges to users.”

This means that only a Super User canadd new administrators, managesubscription entitlements, configureorganization-level policies, and performfull lifecycle device management. Unlike site administrators, Super Users are not restricted to specific locations—they have unrestricted visibility and control across all sites within the organization.

Therefore, the correct answer isD, since the Super User role is explicitly required toadd administratorsto an organization and perform top-level management operations.

TheJuniper Mist Cloud portalprovides a user-friendly interface that supports multiple languages to enhance accessibility for global users. The language preference determines the display language for menus, dashboards, and configuration pages across the Mist UI.

According to theJuniper Mist Cloud Administration Guide, the portal’s language can be modified as follows:

“Users can change the display language of the Mist portal using the Change Language drop-down list located in the upper-right corner of the interface.”

This option allows users to immediately switch the UI language without affecting other users in the organization or requiring administrative permissions. The change is applied per user profile and is stored for future sessions.

Other listed options are invalid:

A:The Alerts page does not include language settings.

B:The My Account page shows personal info but not display language options.

C:Organization templates are unrelated to UI preferences.

Therefore, the correct answer isD. Use the Change Language drop-down list of the Juniper Mist portal.

In theJuniper Mist Marvis Actions dashboard, issues and recommendations are displayed with status labels indicating their progress and resolution method. One of these statuses isAI VALIDATED, which signifies that the issue was automatically detected, diagnosed, and resolved byMarvis AIwithout requiring manual intervention.

According to theJuniper Mist Marvis Virtual Network Assistant Operations Guide:

“AI VALIDATED indicates that Marvis has confirmed and resolved a network issue autonomously using AI-driven automation and telemetry correlation.”

This means Marvis performed the full troubleshooting cycle—identifying the anomaly, validating its cause, and confirming resolution—based on continuous monitoring and real-time network analytics.

Other statuses include:

UNRESOLVED:Issue is ongoing and needs attention.

RESOLVED:Marked manually by an administrator after resolution.

AI VALIDATED:Confirmed and closed automatically by Marvis AI.

Therefore, the correct answer isA. The issue was identified and resolved entirely by Marvis.

In theJuniper Mist SD-WANsolution,device-specific WAN Edge templatesare used to streamline the deployment and configuration ofJuniper SRX or SSR (Session Smart Router)devices serving as WAN Edge nodes. These templates ensure consistent and accurate configurations across a distributed WAN environment while accounting for differences in hardware models and interface types.

According to theJuniper Mist WAN Assurance and SD-WAN Configuration Guide, device-specific templates:

“Automatically generate configuration elements tailored to the hardware platform, including interfaces, ports, and device capabilities.”

They are part of Mist’scloud-managed SD-WAN automation framework, which combines WAN Assurance and AI-driven insights to manage branch connectivity. The templates simplify provisioning by populating device-level parameters such as:

Interface naming and mapping based on the device model.

Hardware-specific configurations like tunnel endpoints, IP addressing, and routing settings.

Security and performance policies consistent with the organization’s SD-WAN design.

OptionsA,C, andDare incorrect because:

A(WLAN template automation) pertains to wireless network configuration, not WAN edge devices.

C(traffic inspection) relates to firewall or security policies handled by SRX’s UTM features, not templates.

D(monitoring and attack prevention) falls under Mist’s security or analytics capabilities, not the template function.

Therefore, the correct answer isB. To automatically generate configuration elements specific to device models.

In Juniper Mist AI,Wireless Assurance Service Level Expectations (SLEs)are designed to provideAI-driven visibility into user experience and network performance. Each SLE represents a specific aspect of the end-user journey — such asTime to Connect, Throughput, Coverage, Roaming, Capacity, and Application Experience.

According to the Juniper Mist documentation, SLEs “define measurable benchmarks for user experienceand identify where deviations occur.” This allows administrators to quickly determine whether issues stem from client devices, access points, wired uplinks, or WAN connectivity. When an SLE metric falls below its threshold, Mist AI automatically highlights the affected classifier (for example, DHCP, DNS, or Wi-Fi interference) and providesroot-cause correlationthrough AI-driven insights.

This data-driven approach enables administrators totroubleshoot proactivelyby focusing on user-impacting areas instead of raw device statistics. Thus, Wireless Assurance SLEs act asexperience-based benchmarksthat simplify troubleshooting, improve performance visibility, and shorten mean time to repair (MTTR).

TheMarvis Virtual Network Assistant (VNA)in Juniper Mist AI uses real-time telemetry and AI-driven correlation to identify hardware and connectivity issues, including bad cable conditions. When a“Bad Cable”alert is raised, Marvis analyzes physical link metrics from the switch and AP—such as CRC errors, FCS drops, and link flaps—to isolate the root cause.

According to the Juniper Mist AI Operations Guide, theMarvis Actions dashboardprovides contextual insights into the issue, showing whether the fault lies in thephysical cableitself or theswitch portit is connected to. Specifically, the dashboard highlights:

The affected device and port.

Whether the degradation originates from theport hardwareor thecabling.

Suggested corrective action (e.g., replace the cable or check switch hardware).

Marvis uses its AI-driven root cause analysis engine to distinguish between cable integrity problems and port failures by examining electrical signature anomalies and historical telemetry.

Options B, C, and D are incorrect because Marvis does not display cable category ratings or identify individual broken Ethernet pairs—it focuses on identifying and isolating the fault domain.

Therefore, the correct answer isA. If the port or cable is at fault.

Dynamic Packet Capture and Radio Resource Management (RRM) are two key components of WiFi Management and Assurance in Juniper Mist. According to official documentation: "Dynamic packet capture allows capturing wireless packets between clients and an access point to diagnose root-cause wireless issues. For example, when a major issue is detected, such as an authorization failure, packet captures facilitate quick troubleshooting and root-cause analysis." RRM, driven by Mist’s AI, proactively analyzes network conditions and client experiences to automatically adjust channel and power settings for optimal performance: "AI-driven RRM uses data science and cumulative SLE performance to learn and optimize radio settings, helping RF planning to continue to improve and adapt in the changing environments..."

Marvis Actions is an AI-powered troubleshooting feature, but it is a separate component enabled by the Marvis subscription, not by base WiFi Management and Assurance. Wayfinding is part of the vBLE Engagement or location services.

Juniper Mist Wireless Assurance revolutionizes network troubleshooting by implementing Predictive Analytics and Correlation Engine (PACE) and dynamic packet capture. According to the official Mist documentation, PACE applies advanced data science and machine learning to analyze real network events and classify them for root-cause identification. The Mist PACE engine proactively identifies issues by correlating over 150 client and AP state changes, enabling the system to surface recommendations and automate root-cause resolution. This allows IT teams to move beyond reactive troubleshooting towards predictive and automated network operations, reducing time-to-resolution and minimizing user impact.

Additionally, dynamic packet capture significantly streamlines troubleshooting efforts. Mist Wireless Assurance automatically detects anomalies or failures in user and network behavior and instantly initiates a packet capture. These packet captures are contextually tagged to the affected event, stored in the cloud, and are readily accessible for analysis. This process eliminates the need for on-site technicians with sniffers, as now every major incident already has an associated packet capture, captured at the right moment. This capability greatly reduces troubleshooting time and ensures that issues can be reproduced and isolated accurately.

Juniper Mist WAN Assuranceis a cloud-based service that extends Mist AI capabilities to the WAN edge, providing visibility, automation, and AI-driven analytics for WAN devices. It focuses on ensuringend-to-end service assurancefor users and applications across distributed networks.

According to theJuniper Mist WAN Assurance and SD-WAN Deployment Guide, the supported devices include:

“Juniper SRX Series Firewalls and Session Smart Routers (SSR) are integrated with Mist WAN Assurance for telemetry collection, service-level monitoring, and AI-driven troubleshooting.”

SRX Series Firewalls (A):Provide secure WAN connectivity and send real-time telemetry (including throughput, latency, and packet loss metrics) to Mist Cloud.

Session Smart Routers (C):Power the AI-driven SD-WAN solution with application-aware routing and session intelligence, fully integrated into Mist Cloud for advanced visibility and analytics.

EXandQFXswitches are used withWired Assurance, not WAN Assurance.

Therefore, the correct answers areA. SRX Series FirewallsandC. Session Smart Routers.

TheJuniper Mist Wired Assuranceplatform uses ahierarchical configuration modelto manage switch settings efficiently across organizations and sites. This hierarchy provides flexibility by allowing administrators to applyglobal configurationsthrough templates at theorganization level, while also permitting site-specific customizations.

According to theJuniper Mist Wired Assurance Configuration and Template Management Guide, the configuration hierarchy functions as follows:

“Switch templates can be created at both the organization and site levels. Organization-level templates define global configurations, while site-level templates provide location-specific customization that overrides the organization-level settings where applicable.”

This structure enables consistent policy deployment while preserving site autonomy for unique configurations. For example, global VLAN or QoS configurations can be managed at the organization level, and local templates can adjust settings for switch ports or device groups at specific sites.

Switch-specific overrides are allowed within the hierarchy, ensuring flexibility in cases where unique port or feature configurations are required.

Therefore:

Bis correct because switch templates exist at theorganization levelfor global use.

Cis correct because switch templates also exist at thesite levelfor localized adjustments.
