Huawei H12-821 Practice Test 38
Question 370
A network operator evaluates the result of a planned remediation. 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. The validation is: Inspect multicast routing entries, incoming interface, unicast RPF route for the source or RP and packet counters on the observed ingress. Which outcome BEST establishes success? Select ONE best answer.
- The multicast stream arrives through the accepted upstream path and reaches downstream interested receivers without forwarding loops.
- Receivers that have joined a group receive its traffic, and membership expires appropriately after their subscriptions end.
- Only the intended routes match the filter and protected infrastructure or default routes are not accidentally accepted or denied.
- Only approved source streams for the requested group reach the receiver while unrelated senders using the same group remain excluded.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:That follows from the targeted action: Diagnose a multicast drop by checking reverse path forwarding against the packet's source rather than only validating the destination group.
Incorrect Answers
B:That option concerns IGMP querier membership reports and group timeout. That follows from the targeted action: Diagnose a multicast drop by checking reverse path forwarding against the packet's source rather than only validating the destination group.
C:That option concerns IP prefix filtering and exact route-match conditions. That follows from the targeted action: Diagnose a multicast drop by checking reverse path forwarding against the packet's source rather than only validating the destination group.
D:That option concerns IGMPv3 source-specific selection and SSM. That follows from the targeted action: Diagnose a multicast drop by checking reverse path forwarding against the packet's source rather than only validating the destination group.
Question 371
An operations change board examines an unsafe shortcut for this 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. Which proposed assumption is MOST DIRECTLY dangerous or unsupported? Select ONE best answer.
- Remove all rendezvous-point configuration from an ASM sparse-mode deployment and assume that every receiver automatically knows each source location.
- Change an MST instance's VLAN mapping on one switch only and assume adjacent switches will continue to recognize exactly the same MST region.
- Assume a router must forward every packet sent to a multicast group whenever it has a unicast default route, regardless of the packet's incoming interface.
- Assume PIM-DM always requires a rendezvous point and never initially floods multicast packets to uninterested downstream segments.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:The unsafe assumption to reject is: Assume a router must forward every packet sent to a multicast group whenever it has a unicast default route, regardless of the packet's incoming interface. It conflicts with: 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: Remove all rendezvous-point configuration from an ASM sparse-mode deployment and assume that every receiver automatically knows each source location. It addresses the different topic PIM sparse mode RP shared tree and shortest path transition, 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.).

It addresses the different topic PIM dense mode flooding and prune mechanisms, 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 372
A network change-review team evaluates this Huawei Datacom 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. Which THREE choices provide the most relevant correction, diagnostic verification and measurable success criterion? Select THREE answers.
- Inspect PIM-DM neighbor state, source-specific multicast entries, prune interfaces and receiver interest across the branches.
- Use a carefully scoped Huawei IP prefix list to match the intended route ranges and prefix lengths before applying an import or export policy.
- Validate physical stack links, member roles and split-brain safeguards before considering a multi-switch logical chassis redundant.
- Inspect multicast routing entries, incoming interface, unicast RPF route for the source or RP and packet counters on the observed ingress.
- The multicast stream arrives through the accepted upstream path and reaches downstream interested receivers without forwarding loops.
- Diagnose a multicast drop by checking reverse path forwarding against the packet's source rather than only validating the destination group.
Explanation
Correct Answers
D:The discriminating diagnostic check is: Inspect multicast routing entries, incoming interface, unicast RPF route for the source or RP and packet counters on the observed ingress.
E:The appropriate verified outcome is: The multicast stream arrives through the accepted upstream path and reaches downstream interested receivers without forwarding loops. Confirm it using: Inspect multicast routing entries, incoming interface, unicast RPF route for the source or RP and packet counters on the observed ingress.
F: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.

Question 374
An enterprise networking reviewer examines this Huawei Datacom situation. A network migrates PIM uplinks yet retains stale unicast routes toward the multicast source, causing intermittent RPF failures. 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.
- 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.
- IGMPv3 can convey source-filter information, enabling Source-Specific Multicast subscriptions for a specified source and group; an SSM design avoids relying on an ASM rendezvous point for that source tree.
- DHCP clients initially discover servers using local broadcasts, which are not ordinarily routed; a DHCP relay supplies an appropriate relay address and forwards requests so the server can select the correct address pool.
- 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.
