Question 400

An operations change board examines an unsafe shortcut for this incident. A deployment enables SSM in the routed network while legacy IGMPv2 receiver reports cannot express the requested source filter, so source-specific joining fails. Which proposed assumption is MOST DIRECTLY dangerous or unsupported? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Remove all rendezvous-point configuration from an ASM sparse-mode deployment and assume that every receiver automatically knows each source location.
  2. Disable spanning tree on every redundant uplink after seeing an alternate port discard frames, treating the loop-prevention state as a fault.
  3. Assume PIM-DM always requires a rendezvous point and never initially floods multicast packets to uninterested downstream segments.
  4. Configure a Source-Specific Multicast receiver with only an unspecified group and assume no source identity information is ever required.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The unsafe assumption to reject is: Configure a Source-Specific Multicast receiver with only an unspecified group and assume no source identity information is ever required. It conflicts with: 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. The supported corrective alternative is: Separate any-source group subscriptions from IGMPv3 source-specific multicast membership when implementing an SSM service.

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 IGMPv3 source-specific selection and SSM failure in the stated incident (A deployment enables SSM in the routed network while legacy IGMPv2 receiver reports cannot express the requested source filter, so source-specific joining fails.).

B:

This option proposes: Disable spanning tree on every redundant uplink after seeing an alternate port discard frames, treating the loop-prevention state as a fault. It addresses the different topic RSTP port roles and rapid convergence, not the directly tested IGMPv3 source-specific selection and SSM failure in the stated incident (A deployment enables SSM in the routed network while legacy IGMPv2 receiver reports cannot express the requested source filter, so source-specific joining fails.).

C:

This option proposes: Assume PIM-DM always requires a rendezvous point and never initially floods multicast packets to uninterested downstream segments. It addresses the different topic PIM dense mode flooding and prune mechanisms, not the directly tested IGMPv3 source-specific selection and SSM failure in the stated incident (A deployment enables SSM in the routed network while legacy IGMPv2 receiver reports cannot express the requested source filter, so source-specific joining fails.).

Question 401

A Huawei HCIP-Datacom engineer investigates the following network fault: A lab network enables dense-mode multicast and observes short-lived traffic on branches without receivers before prune messages take effect. Which corrective action should be prioritized on the stated facts? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Check IGMP membership and querier operation on the receiver LAN before changing PIM routing configuration upstream.
  2. Calculate or verify the practical failure-detection threshold from BFD transmit intervals, advertised receive intervals and the detect multiplier.
  3. Separate any-source group subscriptions from IGMPv3 source-specific multicast membership when implementing an SSM service.
  4. Explain how PIM dense mode initially distributes traffic and then prunes interfaces lacking downstream receivers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The case-specific corrective step is: Explain how PIM dense mode initially distributes traffic and then prunes interfaces lacking downstream receivers. The governing technical behavior is: 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.

Incorrect Answers

A:

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 PIM dense mode flooding and prune mechanisms failure in the stated incident (A lab network enables dense-mode multicast and observes short-lived traffic on branches without receivers before prune messages take effect.).

B:

This option proposes: Calculate or verify the practical failure-detection threshold from BFD transmit intervals, advertised receive intervals and the detect multiplier.

C:

This option proposes: Separate any-source group subscriptions from IGMPv3 source-specific multicast membership when implementing an SSM service. It addresses the different topic IGMPv3 source-specific selection and SSM, not the directly tested PIM dense mode flooding and prune mechanisms failure in the stated incident (A lab network enables dense-mode multicast and observes short-lived traffic on branches without receivers before prune messages take effect.).

Question 402

An enterprise networking reviewer examines this Huawei Datacom situation. A lab network enables dense-mode multicast and observes short-lived traffic on branches without receivers before prune messages take effect. A colleague proposes this action: Explain how PIM dense mode initially distributes traffic and then prunes interfaces lacking downstream receivers. Which protocol principle BEST supports that proposal? Select ONE best answer.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  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.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The relevant protocol behavior is: 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. In the stated scenario (A lab network enables dense-mode multicast and observes short-lived traffic on branches without receivers before prune messages take effect.) this supports the controlled action: Explain how PIM dense mode initially distributes traffic and then prunes interfaces lacking downstream receivers.

D:

This option proposes: 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 403

Which diagnostic check MOST DIRECTLY distinguishes the relevant problem? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Compare RP reachability, (*,G) and (S,G) state, PIM join or register messages and RPF interfaces before changing the multicast design.

  3. Inspect multicast routing entries, incoming interface, unicast RPF route for the source or RP and packet counters on the observed ingress.
  4. Inspect PIM-DM neighbor state, source-specific multicast entries, prune interfaces and receiver interest across the branches.
