You need to make a configuration change that only affects AP45s. Which Mist configuration tool should you use?

The correct choice is the device profile option, as it allows for targeted changes to specific device types, such as the AP45 access points.

Device profiles in the Mist platform are tailored configurations that enable administrators to apply settings that only affect a designated category of devices. When you need to implement changes specific to the AP45s, using the device profile ensures that the adjustments are made solely for those access points without unintentionally impacting other devices on the network.

Utilizing the device profile functionality is essential for managing and optimizing the performance and behavior of specific access points, as it offers a granular level of control. This approach is effective for scenarios like firmware upgrades, radio settings, and other configurations unique to the AP45 model.

Other options do not provide the same specificity. Site management covers broader aspects of the overall site but doesn’t allow changes that target individual access point models. Network view offers a comprehensive look at the network but is not suited for making individual device adjustments. Access point settings might seem relevant; however, they could apply more generally across various access points, not specifically tailored to just the AP45s.
