Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, E
Explanation
In Cisco Meraki, SSIDs are predefined for each network (up to 16), and they cannot be created or deleted. To update or configure SSID settings, you must use either the PUT or PATCH method with the endpoint /networks/{networkId}/ssids/{number}. These methods allow you to modify parameters such as SSID name, security settings, and VLAN tagging. Understanding the appropriate API methods is critical for automating Cisco Meraki deployments.
- A. Incorrect.
The POST method is not supported for creating SSIDs in Cisco Meraki. SSIDs are predefined, and you can only configure or update them.
- B. Correct.
PUT is the correct method to update or configure a specific SSID. This endpoint is used to modify settings for a specific SSID by its number (e.g., 0-15).
- C. Incorrect.
The GET method is used to retrieve information about SSIDs but cannot be used to deploy or configure them.
- D. Incorrect.
The DELETE method is not applicable because SSIDs cannot be deleted in Cisco Meraki. They are predefined in a network.
- E. Correct.
PATCH is an acceptable method for partially updating specific SSID settings. It is a valid option for configuring SSIDs in an automated deployment scenario.
