Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: An SSID rejects valid employees after a RADIUS shared-secret rotation but administrators try changing AP channels instead. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect SSID authentication mode, RADIUS exchange, role/VLAN assignment and authentication failure logs. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Configure supported enterprise 802.1X/RADIUS authentication and least-privilege authorization for the target SSID. Successful verification is: An authorized user authenticates into the correct role and invalid identities are rejected.
