Question 230

A Huawei HCIP-Datacom engineer investigates the following network fault: After introducing a second reflector, engineers observe rejected routes carrying the local cluster ID and need to understand the loop-prevention behavior. Which corrective action should be prioritized on the stated facts? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Apply route-reflector client roles and loop-prevention attributes to an iBGP topology that must scale beyond a full mesh.
  2. Distinguish EVPN control-plane route information and underlay forwarding when analyzing a VXLAN-enabled fabric.
  3. Check IGMP membership and querier operation on the receiver LAN before changing PIM routing configuration upstream.
  4. Check the MED value and the policy context before using BGP advertisements to suggest which entry link another AS should prefer.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The case-specific corrective step is: Apply route-reflector client roles and loop-prevention attributes to an iBGP topology that must scale beyond a full mesh.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This option proposes: Distinguish EVPN control-plane route information and underlay forwarding when analyzing a VXLAN-enabled fabric. It addresses the different topic MP-BGP EVPN route types and forwarding separation, not the directly tested BGP route reflector and cluster loop prevention failure in the stated incident (After introducing a second reflector, engineers observe rejected routes carrying the local cluster ID and need to understand the loop-prevention behavior.).

C:

This option proposes: Check IGMP membership and querier operation on the receiver LAN before changing PIM routing configuration upstream. It addresses the different topic IGMP querier membership reports and group timeout, not the directly tested BGP route reflector and cluster loop prevention failure in the stated incident (After introducing a second reflector, engineers observe rejected routes carrying the local cluster ID and need to understand the loop-prevention behavior.).

D:

This option proposes: Check the MED value and the policy context before using BGP advertisements to suggest which entry link another AS should prefer. It addresses the different topic BGP MED interpretation between neighboring autonomous systems, not the directly tested BGP route reflector and cluster loop prevention failure in the stated incident (After introducing a second reflector, engineers observe rejected routes carrying the local cluster ID and need to understand the loop-prevention behavior.).

Question 231

An enterprise networking reviewer examines this Huawei Datacom situation. After introducing a second reflector, engineers observe rejected routes carrying the local cluster ID and need to understand the loop-prevention behavior. A colleague proposes this action: Apply route-reflector client roles and loop-prevention attributes to an iBGP topology that must scale beyond a full mesh. Which protocol principle BEST supports that proposal? Select ONE best answer.

  1. 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.
  2. MED is an optional nontransitive BGP attribute, with lower values typically favored when compared under applicable rules; it is often compared for routes from the same neighboring AS unless policy changes this behavior.
  3. MSTP can map multiple VLANs to different spanning-tree instances and balance paths, but mismatched region parameters place devices in different regions or create a boundary rather than one shared instance.
  4. A BGP route reflector can reflect routes among its authorized clients and uses attributes such as ORIGINATOR_ID and CLUSTER_LIST to avoid reflection loops; a poor client or cluster design can suppress required advertisements.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The relevant protocol behavior is: A BGP route reflector can reflect routes among its authorized clients and uses attributes such as ORIGINATOR_ID and CLUSTER_LIST to avoid reflection loops; a poor client or cluster design can suppress required advertisements. In the stated scenario (After introducing a second reflector, engineers observe rejected routes carrying the local cluster ID and need to understand the loop-prevention behavior.) this supports the controlled action: Apply route-reflector client roles and loop-prevention attributes to an iBGP topology that must scale beyond a full mesh.

Question 232

A Huawei network troubleshooter needs objective evidence for this case: After introducing a second reflector, engineers observe rejected routes carrying the local cluster ID and need to understand the loop-prevention behavior. Which diagnostic check MOST DIRECTLY distinguishes the relevant problem? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Review the advertised NEXT_HOP, recursive IGP reachability, iBGP peer configuration and installed BGP route state.

  3. Inspect route-reflector client configuration, ORIGINATOR_ID, CLUSTER_LIST and resulting prefixes at different iBGP clients.
  4. Inspect all routers' area flags, ABR default LSA advertisement, permitted LSA types and whether an ASBR is incorrectly placed in the area.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The discriminating diagnostic check is: Inspect route-reflector client configuration, ORIGINATOR_ID, CLUSTER_LIST and resulting prefixes at different iBGP clients. In this incident (After introducing a second reflector, engineers observe rejected routes carrying the local cluster ID and need to understand the loop-prevention behavior.) the desired evidence-led outcome is: Expected branches receive reflected routes without creating an iBGP routing loop or relying on an impractical full mesh.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This option proposes: Review the advertised NEXT_HOP, recursive IGP reachability, iBGP peer configuration and installed BGP route state. It addresses the different topic BGP NEXT_HOP reachability and next-hop-self, not the directly tested BGP route reflector and cluster loop prevention failure in the stated incident (After introducing a second reflector, engineers observe rejected routes carrying the local cluster ID and need to understand the loop-prevention behavior.).

Select ONE best answer.

  1. The selected BGP prefix has a resolvable next hop and traffic exits through the intended edge after the appropriate next-hop policy.
  2. Each customer remains isolated as intended and only approved prefixes cross any explicitly configured inter-VRF boundary.
  3. Looping advertisements are rejected and intended route preference changes are explained without promising a universal AS_PATH outcome.
  4. Expected branches receive reflected routes without creating an iBGP routing loop or relying on an impractical full mesh.

Question 234

An operations change board examines an unsafe shortcut for this incident. After introducing a second reflector, engineers observe rejected routes carrying the local cluster ID and need to understand the loop-prevention behavior. Which proposed assumption is MOST DIRECTLY dangerous or unsupported? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Treat a BGP route shown as received as sufficient evidence of packet forwarding when the NEXT_HOP has no route in the receiving router.
  2. Assume two routers can each configure a different virtual IP for the same VRRP group and still present one consistent default gateway to hosts.
  3. Assume any iBGP speaker automatically reflects routes learned from one iBGP peer to every other iBGP neighbor without reflector configuration.
  4. State that BGP must always choose the route with the fewest autonomous systems even when the local operator configured a stronger valid preference.
