- Trace source or destination address translation separately from security policy when applications fail across a routed perimeter.
- Compare the best route, recursive next-hop resolution, forwarding entry and actual egress interface for the same destination prefix.

Correct Answers
C:The discriminating diagnostic check is: Compare the best route, recursive next-hop resolution, forwarding entry and actual egress interface for the same destination prefix. In this scenario: tion networking scenario: During a maintenance cutover an operator sees a static route in configuration but a line-card forwarding inspection shows an unresolved next hop.
E:The case-specific corrective step is: Diagnose a packet-forwarding discrepancy by separating control-plane routes recorded in the RIB from hardware or software forwarding entries installed in the FIB.

Incorrect Answers
A:This option proposes: Inspect the destination address, matching installed prefixes, their mask lengths, route sources, next-hop resolution and the forwarding decision. It addresses the different topic Longest prefix match and route preferences, not the directly tested Network forwarding planes RIB versus FIB failure in the stated incident (During a maintenance cutover an operator sees a static route in configuration but a line-card forwarding inspection shows an unresolved next hop.). The better discriminating check for this case is: Compare the best route, recursive next-hop resolution, forwarding entry and actual egress interface for the same destination prefix.
B:This option proposes: Trace source or destination address translation separately from security policy when applications fail across a routed perimeter. It addresses the different topic Huawei firewall NAT and address translation context, not the directly tested Network forwarding planes RIB versus FIB failure in the stated incident (During a maintenance cutover an operator sees a static route in configuration but a line-card forwarding inspection shows an unresolved next hop.).

It addresses the different topic PIM sparse mode RP shared tree and shortest path transition, not the directly tested Network forwarding planes RIB versus FIB failure in the stated incident (During a maintenance cutover an operator sees a static route in configuration but a line-card forwarding inspection shows an unresolved next hop.).
Question 11
A Huawei HCIP-Datacom engineer investigates the following network fault: A router has a static default and a learned 10.22.24.0/24 route; a help desk claims every 10.22.24.8 packet must take the static default. Which corrective action should be prioritized on the stated facts? Select ONE best answer.
- Diagnose a packet-forwarding discrepancy by separating control-plane routes recorded in the RIB from hardware or software forwarding entries installed in the FIB.
- Design mutual route redistribution to prevent reimporting the same routes and changing their metrics repeatedly.
- Investigate routing decisions by checking longest destination-prefix match before comparing preferences among competing routes for that same prefix.
- Use standard BGP communities and import/export policy to label route groups and apply intended traffic-engineering behavior.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:The case-specific corrective step is: Investigate routing decisions by checking longest destination-prefix match before comparing preferences among competing routes for that same prefix. The governing technical behavior is: Packet selection uses the most-specific matching destination route before comparing candidate protocol preferences for identical prefixes; a broad default route does not displace a more-specific valid route solely by lower preference.
Incorrect Answers

Question 12
An enterprise networking reviewer examines this Huawei Datacom situation. A router has a static default and a learned 10.22.24.0/24 route; a help desk claims every 10.22.24.8 packet must take the static default. A colleague proposes this action: Investigate routing decisions by checking longest destination-prefix match before comparing preferences among competing routes for that same prefix. Which protocol principle BEST supports that proposal? Select ONE best answer.
- BGP best-path selection evaluates eligibility and multiple attributes in a defined order; higher-stage policy attributes such as LOCAL_PREF can outweigh AS_PATH length, and later tie-breakers apply only as needed.
- An OSPF ASBR originates type 5 external LSAs in eligible areas; E1 metrics account for internal cost toward the ASBR, whereas E2 selection prioritizes external cost except for applicable tie-breakers.
- Packet selection uses the most-specific matching destination route before comparing candidate protocol preferences for identical prefixes; a broad default route does not displace a more-specific valid route solely by lower preference.
- Routing protocols and static configuration contribute candidate routes to the routing information base, while the forwarding information base contains resolved next-hop and interface data used to forward packets.

Which corrective action should be prioritized on the stated facts? Select ONE best answer.
- Choose OSPF summarization at the correct boundary and account for reachability when advertising aggregates.

Correct Answer
C:The case-specific corrective step is: Compare OSPF interface state, area, authentication, timers and network type before resetting a neighbor relationship. The governing technical behavior is: OSPF neighbors on a common link must agree on critical adjacency parameters, including compatible area and authentication; repeated resets will not repair a persistent mismatch.

- Packet selection uses the most-specific matching destination route before comparing candidate protocol preferences for identical prefixes; a broad default route does not displace a more-specific valid route solely by lower preference.
- 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.
- On a broadcast network OSPF uses a DR and BDR to limit adjacency overhead; priority zero excludes a candidate, and higher eligible priority and router ID influence a new election rather than forcing instant replacement of a functioning DR.
- OSPF neighbors on a common link must agree on critical adjacency parameters, including compatible area and authentication; repeated resets will not repair a persistent mismatch.
