Which snippet presents the correct API call to configure, secure, and enable an SSID using the Meraki API?

The correct answer is B. curl -X PUT \ -url 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/.networkld/ssids/2' \ -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: 15da0c6fff295f16267f88f98694cf29a86ed87' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -data-raw '{ "name": "My SSID", "enabled": true, "authMode": "psk", "encryptionMode": "wpa", "psk": "meraki123", "wpaEncryptionMode": "WPA1 and WPA2" }'. To configure, secure, and enable a Meraki SSID via API, the PUT request must include enabled: true along with authMode, encryptionMode, psk, and wpaEncryptionMode fields.

Why each option

To configure, secure, and enable a Meraki SSID via API, the PUT request must include enabled: true along with authMode, encryptionMode, psk, and wpaEncryptionMode fields.

Acurl -X PUT \ -url 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/.networkld/ssids/2' \ -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: 15da0c6fff295f16267f88f98694cf29a86ed87' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -data-raw '{ "name": "My SSID", "enabled": false, "authMode": "psk", "encryptionMode": "wpa", "psk": "meraki123", "wpaEncryptionMode": "WPA1 and WPA2" }'

Answer A sets 'enabled: false', which disables the SSID rather than enabling it, failing the 'enable' requirement.

Bcurl -X PUT \ -url 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/.networkld/ssids/2' \ -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: 15da0c6fff295f16267f88f98694cf29a86ed87' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -data-raw '{ "name": "My SSID", "enabled": true, "authMode": "psk", "encryptionMode": "wpa", "psk": "meraki123", "wpaEncryptionMode": "WPA1 and WPA2" }'Correct

Answer B sets 'enabled: true' to activate the SSID, 'authMode: psk' to require a pre-shared key for security, 'encryptionMode: wpa' with 'wpaEncryptionMode: WPA1 and WPA2' to define encryption, and 'psk: meraki123' as the passphrase - fulfilling all three requirements of configure, secure, and enable.

Ccurl -X PUT \ -url 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/.networkld/ssids/2' \ -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: 15da0c6fff295f16267f88f98694cf29a86ed87' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -data-raw '{ "name": "My SSID", "enabled": true, "useVlanTagging": true }'

Answer C sets 'useVlanTagging: true' but omits any authentication or encryption parameters, so the SSID is not secured.

Dcurl -X PUT \ -url 'https://api.meraki.com/api/v0/networks/.networkld/ssids/2' \ -H 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key: 15da0c6fff295f16267f88f98694cf29a86ed87' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -data-raw '{ "name": "My SSID", "enabled": true }'

Answer D only sets the name and enables the SSID but includes no security configuration such as authMode or PSK, leaving the SSID open.
