Question 360

A network operator evaluates the result of a planned remediation. A campus stack loses its inter-member link during maintenance and both sides appear to claim active control-plane roles, threatening duplicate gateway behavior. The validation is: Inspect member and master status, stack-link connectivity, dual-active detection mechanisms and forwarding after an isolated partition test. Which outcome BEST establishes success? Select ONE best answer.

  1. The Layer 2 domain forwards without loops and a documented alternate path transitions safely when the active root path fails.
  2. The intended distribution device becomes root and traffic paths follow the designed topology with predictable failover.
  3. Members operate under one authorized stack identity and a broken stack interconnect does not leave two uncontrolled active masters.
  4. The intended routing process responds to a verified forwarding failure in the designed interval without false mass failovers from aggressive unsupported timing.

Explanation

Question 361

A Huawei HCIP-Datacom engineer reviews this production networking scenario: A campus stack loses its inter-member link during maintenance and both sides appear to claim active control-plane roles, threatening duplicate gateway behavior. Which TWO complementary choices together give an appropriate technical response and the direct diagnostic check needed to verify it? Select TWO answers.

  1. Validate physical stack links, member roles and split-brain safeguards before considering a multi-switch logical chassis redundant.
  2. Inspect member and master status, stack-link connectivity, dual-active detection mechanisms and forwarding after an isolated partition test.
  3. Troubleshoot BGP establishment by distinguishing TCP port 179 transport, peer configuration and OPEN capability negotiation.
  4. Inspect bridge IDs, selected root bridge, root-path costs, each port role and current alternate/discarding state.
  5. Trace an enterprise wireless AP's registration to its access controller and the separation of management from user traffic in supported forwarding modes.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

The case-specific corrective step is: Validate physical stack links, member roles and split-brain safeguards before considering a multi-switch logical chassis redundant. The governing technical behavior is: Stacked switches can operate as a single logical device only while the supported control and data channels are consistent; a partition without dual-active detection risks conflicting forwarding or management identities. Verify the solution through: Inspect member and master status, stack-link connectivity, dual-active detection mechanisms and forwarding after an isolated partition test.

B:

The discriminating diagnostic check is: Inspect member and master status, stack-link connectivity, dual-active detection mechanisms and forwarding after an isolated partition test.

Question 363

An enterprise networking reviewer examines this Huawei Datacom situation. A technician replaces a stack member but neglects its configured stack ID and software compatibility, and the logical device cannot form. A colleague proposes this action: Validate physical stack links, member roles and split-brain safeguards before considering a multi-switch logical chassis redundant. Which protocol principle BEST supports that proposal? Select ONE best answer.

  1. STP and RSTP root election depends on bridge IDs and configured priorities, while root-path cost and port IDs help select forwarding roles; a device with more physical connections is not automatically elected root.
  2. 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.
  3. MQC policy operation separates traffic classifiers, traffic behaviors and policies that bind them on a supported interface and direction; defining a classifier by itself does not apply a traffic action.
  4. Stacked switches can operate as a single logical device only while the supported control and data channels are consistent; a partition without dual-active detection risks conflicting forwarding or management identities.

Explanation

Correct Answer

Question 367

A Huawei HCIP-Datacom engineer investigates the following network fault: A live classroom video flow reaches a distribution router on a secondary link, but the RPF route points at a different primary uplink and the stream is dropped. Which corrective action should be prioritized on the stated facts? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Trace ACL rule matching and interface direction before broadening a security filter that drops legitimate traffic.
  2. Separate any-source group subscriptions from IGMPv3 source-specific multicast membership when implementing an SSM service.
  3. Check IGMP membership and querier operation on the receiver LAN before changing PIM routing configuration upstream.
  4. Diagnose a multicast drop by checking reverse path forwarding against the packet's source rather than only validating the destination group.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The case-specific corrective step is: Diagnose a multicast drop by checking reverse path forwarding against the packet's source rather than only validating the destination group. The governing technical behavior is: IP multicast forwarding commonly uses an RPF check toward the source or rendezvous point to prevent loops, so an otherwise reachable multicast group may fail when packets arrive on an unexpected upstream interface.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This option proposes: Trace ACL rule matching and interface direction before broadening a security filter that drops legitimate traffic. It addresses the different topic ACL traffic filter placement and rule order, not the directly tested Multicast reverse path forwarding checks failure in the stated incident (A live classroom video flow reaches a distribution router on a secondary link, but the RPF route points at a different primary uplink and the stream is dropped.).

Question 368

An enterprise networking reviewer examines this Huawei Datacom situation. A live classroom video flow reaches a distribution router on a secondary link, but the RPF route points at a different primary uplink and the stream is dropped. A colleague proposes this action: Diagnose a multicast drop by checking reverse path forwarding against the packet's source rather than only validating the destination group. Which protocol principle BEST supports that proposal? Select ONE best answer.

  1. PIM-DM generally follows a flood-and-prune model, building source-based multicast distribution where an interface without interested downstream receivers can be pruned to reduce unnecessary traffic.
  2. A stateful firewall tracks valid connection context and can permit related return traffic based on session state; network ACLs may filter packets independently without the same stateful application tracking.
  3. In any-source PIM-SM an RP supports initial shared-tree joining and source registration, while routers may switch to source-rooted shortest-path trees according to configured behavior and traffic.
  4. IP multicast forwarding commonly uses an RPF check toward the source or rendezvous point to prevent loops, so an otherwise reachable multicast group may fail when packets arrive on an unexpected upstream interface.
