   A network administrator needs to apply a configuration change to all access points in a specific building. The building has 50 APs organized into a single network in the dashboard. What is the most efficient way to apply the change?

   • AUse SSH to connect to each AP and change the configuration.
   • BLog in to each AP's local status page and change the settings individually.
   • CUse the dashboard to modify the network settings, which will be pushed to all APs in that network.
   • DCreate a new network and move each AP to it, then configure the new network.

   A Meraki MR AP at a remote site is intermittently losing connectivity to the dashboard. The AP's LED is solid orange, and the local status page shows that it has a valid IP address and can ping the default gateway. However, the AP cannot reach the internet. The site has a firewall that performs deep packet inspection and SSL inspection. What is the most likely cause of the intermittent connectivity?

   • AThe AP is too far from the wireless controller, causing signal loss.
   • BThe AP's firmware is outdated and needs to be upgraded.
   • CThe firewall is blocking the AP's outbound HTTPS connection to the Meraki cloud due to SSL inspection breaking the TLS handshake.
   • DThe AP is configured with a static IP address that conflicts with another device.
