Explanation
Correct Answer
D:The case-specific corrective step is: Use a carefully scoped Huawei IP prefix list to match the intended route ranges and prefix lengths before applying an import or export policy.
Incorrect Answers
A:This option proposes: Check route-policy matching conditions, node permit/deny behavior and application direction before fixing unexpected accepted or rejected routes. It addresses the different topic Route-policy node and filtering direction, not the directly tested IP prefix filtering and exact route-match conditions failure in the stated incident (A branch route-policy accepts 172.20.0.0/16 and engineers discover that 172.20.48.0/24 is excluded because the prefix-length range was too narrow.).
B:This option proposes: Differentiate traffic policy-based routing on a matching packet from ordinary destination-based forwarding through the best RIB route. It addresses the different topic Policy-based routing versus destination routing, not the directly tested IP prefix filtering and exact route-match conditions failure in the stated incident (A branch route-policy accepts 172.20.0.0/16 and engineers discover that 172.20.48.0/24 is excluded because the prefix-length range was too narrow.).
C:This option proposes: Explain how PIM dense mode initially distributes traffic and then prunes interfaces lacking downstream receivers. It addresses the different topic PIM dense mode flooding and prune mechanisms, not the directly tested IP prefix filtering and exact route-match conditions failure in the stated incident (A branch route-policy accepts 172.20.0.0/16 and engineers discover that 172.20.48.0/24 is excluded because the prefix-length range was too narrow.).
Question 271
An enterprise networking reviewer examines this Huawei Datacom situation. A branch route-policy accepts 172.20.0.0/16 and engineers discover that 172.20.48.0/24 is excluded because the prefix-length range was too narrow. A colleague proposes this action: Use a carefully scoped Huawei IP prefix list to match the intended route ranges and prefix lengths before applying an import or export policy. Which protocol principle BEST supports that proposal? Select ONE best answer.
- Prefix filters can test network address plus mask range, and permit or deny effects depend on how the list is referenced; a matching address alone does not imply every more-specific subnet is included.
- An NSSA permits its local ASBR to originate type 7 external LSAs that can be translated to type 5 by an eligible ABR, while incoming external type 5 advertisements are not flooded into the NSSA.
- Huawei route-policy processing applies matching conditions and actions in sequence, and unmatched or explicitly denied routes can be rejected depending on the policy context; inbound and outbound application points are not interchangeable.
- PBR can steer selected packets based on additional attributes such as source or application criteria, with fallback behavior defined by policy; it does not require the routing protocol to advertise a new destination prefix.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:The relevant protocol behavior is: Prefix filters can test network address plus mask range, and permit or deny effects depend on how the list is referenced; a matching address alone does not imply every more-specific subnet is included.

Question 272
A Huawei network troubleshooter needs objective evidence for this case: A branch route-policy accepts 172.20.0.0/16 and engineers discover that 172.20.48.0/24 is excluded because the prefix-length range was too narrow. Which diagnostic check MOST DIRECTLY distinguishes the relevant problem? Select ONE best answer.
- Inspect traffic classifier matches, policy routing next-hop eligibility, egress statistics and the normal destination route that would otherwise apply.
- Inspect primary/backup controller registrations, AP failover behavior, RADIUS/802.1X results, user authorization attributes and policy applied to a test client.
- Inspect route sources, redistribution boundaries, attached route tags, candidate best paths and which protocol is currently advertising the problem prefix.

Explanation
Correct Answer
D:The discriminating diagnostic check is: Inspect the prefix-list rule sequence, base prefix, greater-than/less-than mask conditions and test routes immediately inside and outside the intended range.

A network operator evaluates the result of a planned remediation.
