Question 110

A network operator evaluates the result of a planned remediation. An operator makes a server-facing VLAN passive and worries that the subnet must disappear from all OSPF routes even though no adjacency was intended there. The validation is: Check whether the interface should form neighbors, its authentication mode, passive state, advertised prefix and neighboring device visibility. Which outcome BEST establishes success? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Routing adjacencies exist only on authorized transit links while user networks remain reachable as advertised prefixes.
  2. An intra-area or inter-area prefix is learned through the expected scoped LSA and the routing table reflects the resulting route.
  3. The intended area learns suitable internal routes and default reachability without unexpectedly carrying excluded external LSAs.
  4. The intended connection establishes an authorized session and return traffic follows the documented security policy without broad zone bypass.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

That follows from the targeted action: Apply OSPF neighbor authentication and passive-interface policy without accidentally suppressing required route advertisements.

Incorrect Answers

B:

That option concerns OSPF router network and summary LSA scope. That follows from the targeted action: Apply OSPF neighbor authentication and passive-interface policy without accidentally suppressing required route advertisements.

C:

That option concerns Stub and totally stub area restrictions. That follows from the targeted action: Apply OSPF neighbor authentication and passive-interface policy without accidentally suppressing required route advertisements.

D:

That option concerns Stateful firewall sessions versus basic packet ACL filtering. That follows from the targeted action: Apply OSPF neighbor authentication and passive-interface policy without accidentally suppressing required route advertisements.

Question 111

A Huawei HCIP-Datacom engineer investigates the following network fault: A network hardening update enables new OSPF authentication keys on one core peer and needs to validate compatible settings before committing the change. Which corrective action should be prioritized on the stated facts? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Distinguish redistributed external routes and external cost types when diagnosing a route that enters through an ASBR.
  2. Choose OSPF summarization at the correct boundary and account for reachability when advertising aggregates.
  3. Apply OSPF neighbor authentication and passive-interface policy without accidentally suppressing required route advertisements.
  4. Enforce role-based management authentication and encrypted remote administration instead of relying on shared cleartext or unrestricted control-plane access.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The case-specific corrective step is: Apply OSPF neighbor authentication and passive-interface policy without accidentally suppressing required route advertisements. The governing technical behavior is: Passive OSPF interfaces can stop unwanted neighbor discovery while their connected networks may still be advertised through the OSPF process; authentication protects routing exchanges and requires compatible peer settings. Verify the solution through: Check whether the interface should form neighbors, its authentication mode, passive state, advertised prefix and neighboring device visibility.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This option proposes: Distinguish redistributed external routes and external cost types when diagnosing a route that enters through an ASBR. It addresses the different topic OSPF external LSAs and E1 versus E2 cost, not the directly tested OSPF interface security and passive network advertisement failure in the stated incident (A network hardening update enables new OSPF authentication keys on one core peer and needs to validate compatible settings before committing the change.).

B:

This option proposes: Choose OSPF summarization at the correct boundary and account for reachability when advertising aggregates. It addresses the different topic OSPF summarization at ABR and ASBR, not the directly tested OSPF interface security and passive network advertisement failure in the stated incident (A network hardening update enables new OSPF authentication keys on one core peer and needs to validate compatible settings before committing the change.).

D:

This option proposes: Enforce role-based management authentication and encrypted remote administration instead of relying on shared cleartext or unrestricted control-plane access. It addresses the different topic Network device AAA role SSH and management-plane protection, not the directly tested OSPF interface security and passive network advertisement failure in the stated incident (A network hardening update enables new OSPF authentication keys on one core peer and needs to validate compatible settings before committing the change.).

Question 112

An enterprise networking reviewer examines this Huawei Datacom situation. A network hardening update enables new OSPF authentication keys on one core peer and needs to validate compatible settings before committing the change. A colleague proposes this action: Apply OSPF neighbor authentication and passive-interface policy without accidentally suppressing required route advertisements. Which protocol principle BEST supports that proposal? Select ONE best answer.

  1. An ABR can summarize inter-area routes and an ASBR can summarize redistributed external routes; aggregation reduces route detail but can hide component failures or create blackholes without safeguards.
  2. Passive OSPF interfaces can stop unwanted neighbor discovery while their connected networks may still be advertised through the OSPF process; authentication protects routing exchanges and requires compatible peer settings.
  3. Large WLAN deployments can distribute users among VLANs with a VLAN pool, but every selected VLAN still needs the correct gateway, DHCP scope and forwarding path to support client sessions.
  4. A stub area blocks type 5 external LSAs and receives an appropriate default through its ABR; a totally stubby configuration additionally suppresses most inter-area summaries and is incompatible with certain topology roles.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Question 115

A Huawei HCIP-Datacom engineer investigates the following network fault: A retail branch runs level-1-only routing and cannot reach a distant data center because the expected L1/L2 exit is absent. Which corrective action should be prioritized on the stated facts? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Distinguish level-1 area routing from level-2 backbone-style interarea routing when troubleshooting a missing destination.
  2. Inspect compatible IS-IS NET area IDs, interface levels and authentication before changing a routing process after adjacency failure.
  3. Explain the DIS role on broadcast IS-IS circuits and why it differs from an OSPF DR/BDR election.
  4. Troubleshoot a site-to-site IPsec tunnel by separating IKE security-association establishment from protected ESP payload transport.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The case-specific corrective step is: Distinguish level-1 area routing from level-2 backbone-style interarea routing when troubleshooting a missing destination. The governing technical behavior is: In IS-IS, level-1 routers exchange area-local routes while level-2 routers connect areas; an L1/L2 router can provide an appropriate exit and the attached indication informs L1 routing behavior.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This option proposes: Inspect compatible IS-IS NET area IDs, interface levels and authentication before changing a routing process after adjacency failure. It addresses the different topic IS-IS area addresses and adjacency prerequisites, not the directly tested IS-IS level one versus level two reachability failure in the stated incident (A retail branch runs level-1-only routing and cannot reach a distant data center because the expected L1/L2 exit is absent.).

A colleague proposes this action: Distinguish level-1 area routing from level-2 backbone-style interarea routing when troubleshooting a missing destination. Which protocol principle BEST supports that proposal? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Passive OSPF interfaces can stop unwanted neighbor discovery while their connected networks may still be advertised through the OSPF process; authentication protects routing exchanges and requires compatible peer settings.
  2. IS-IS uses CLNS-based network entities and level-specific hellos; level-1 neighbors normally require compatible area membership, while level-2 adjacencies have different area constraints and still need link and authentication compatibility.
  3. In IS-IS, level-1 routers exchange area-local routes while level-2 routers connect areas; an L1/L2 router can provide an appropriate exit and the attached indication informs L1 routing behavior.
  4. IS-IS LSP control flags and route-leaking policy determine appropriate reachability; an overload indication can steer other routers away from using an overloaded node as transit while preserving selected directly attached reachability.
