Explanation

AP replacement is a network management feature that allows administrators to substitute a failed Access Point with a new one without manually reconfiguring the replacement device. When configured, the system retains the original AP's settings (SSID, radio parameters, VLAN assignments, etc.) and automatically pushes them to the replacement hardware, minimizing downtime and administrative effort.

Option A (True) is correct because modern wireless controllers and management platforms (such as Huawei's eSight or AC controllers) do support an AP replacement function that maps configuration from the failed unit to its physical replacement using identifiers like the AP's MAC address or serial number.

Option B (False) is wrong because it incorrectly implies this feature does not exist or cannot work - in reality, AP replacement is a standard feature in enterprise WLAN management systems specifically designed to handle hardware failure scenarios.

Memory tip: Think of AP replacement like a "phone backup restore" - when you swap to a new phone, your old settings transfer automatically. Similarly, the AP replacement feature acts as a configuration snapshot that gets restored to the new hardware, so you never have to start from scratch.
