300-435 Question 315
Single answerYou are automating the configuration of a network using Cisco Meraki APIs. Your goal is to enable SSID broadcasting for a specific network. Which API endpoint and configuration action would achieve this task?
- A
Use the '/networks/{networkId}/ssids/{number}' endpoint and set 'enabled: true' in the request body.
- B
Use the '/networks/{networkId}/clients' endpoint and set 'ssidEnabled: true' in the request body.
- C
Use the '/organizations/{organizationId}/networks' endpoint and include 'ssidBroadcast: true' in the request body.
- D
Use the '/networks/{networkId}/ssids' endpoint and set 'broadcast: enabled' in the query parameters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To enable SSID broadcasting on a Cisco Meraki network, the '/networks/{networkId}/ssids/{number}' endpoint must be used. This endpoint is specifically designed to manage SSID settings, and the request body must include 'enabled: true' to activate SSID broadcasting. Other endpoints either manage unrelated resources or do not support the required configuration action.
- A. Correct.
Correct. The '/networks/{networkId}/ssids/{number}' endpoint is used to manage SSID settings for a specific network. Setting 'enabled: true' in the request body ensures that SSID broadcasting is turned on.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The '/networks/{networkId}/clients' endpoint is used to manage client devices on a network, not SSIDs or their settings.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The '/organizations/{organizationId}/networks' endpoint is used to manage networks within an organization but does not directly deal with SSID configurations.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While '/networks/{networkId}/ssids' is related to SSID management, specifying 'broadcast: enabled' in the query parameters is not a valid action as this property must be set in the request body, not the query parameters.
