Huawei H12-821 Practice Test 43
Question 420
An operations change board examines an unsafe shortcut for this incident. A PIM-SM network initially forwards through a shared tree, then switches to a lower-latency source tree, and analysts need to explain the change in (S,G) state. 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.
- Attempt to configure an OSPF BDR role for IS-IS, assuming the DIS cannot operate until a backup DIS has been selected.
- Assume PIM-DM always requires a rendezvous point and never initially floods multicast packets to uninterested downstream segments.
- 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.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:The unsafe assumption to reject is: Remove all rendezvous-point configuration from an ASM sparse-mode deployment and assume that every receiver automatically knows each source location. It conflicts with: 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. The supported corrective alternative is: Trace PIM-SM receiver joins toward an RP and subsequent shortest-path behavior when investigating delayed or suboptimal multicast.
Incorrect Answers
B:This option proposes: Attempt to configure an OSPF BDR role for IS-IS, assuming the DIS cannot operate until a backup DIS has been selected. It addresses the different topic IS-IS designated intermediate system and pseudonode, not the directly tested PIM sparse mode RP shared tree and shortest path transition failure in the stated incident (A PIM-SM network initially forwards through a shared tree, then switches to a lower-latency source tree, and analysts need to explain the change in (S,G) state.).
C:This option proposes: Assume PIM-DM always requires a rendezvous point and never initially floods multicast packets to uninterested downstream segments.

D:This option proposes: 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 addresses the different topic Multicast reverse path forwarding checks, not the directly tested PIM sparse mode RP shared tree and shortest path transition failure in the stated incident (A PIM-SM network initially forwards through a shared tree, then switches to a lower-latency source tree, and analysts need to explain the change in (S,G) state.).
Question 421
A Huawei HCIP-Datacom engineer investigates the following network fault: Two IPv6 hosts on one VLAN have valid global addresses but cannot exchange packets after a security ACL begins dropping Neighbor Solicitation messages. Which corrective action should be prioritized on the stated facts? Select ONE best answer.
- Investigate IPv6 neighbor resolution using ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation and Neighbor Advertisement rather than IPv4 ARP assumptions.
- Validate IPv6 router advertisements, prefix information and duplicate-address detection before treating a newly generated address as usable.
- Check route-policy matching conditions, node permit/deny behavior and application direction before fixing unexpected accepted or rejected routes.
- Apply OSPF neighbor authentication and passive-interface policy without accidentally suppressing required route advertisements.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:The case-specific corrective step is: Investigate IPv6 neighbor resolution using ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation and Neighbor Advertisement rather than IPv4 ARP assumptions. The governing technical behavior is: IPv6 Neighbor Discovery uses ICMPv6 control messages for local-link address resolution and reachability; solicited-node multicast and link-local addressing are essential to the mechanism, and ARP is not used by IPv6.

Question 422
An enterprise networking reviewer examines this Huawei Datacom situation. Two IPv6 hosts on one VLAN have valid global addresses but cannot exchange packets after a security ACL begins dropping Neighbor Solicitation messages. A colleague proposes this action: Investigate IPv6 neighbor resolution using ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation and Neighbor Advertisement rather than IPv4 ARP assumptions. Which protocol principle BEST supports that proposal? Select ONE best answer.
- IPv6 Neighbor Discovery uses ICMPv6 control messages for local-link address resolution and reachability; solicited-node multicast and link-local addressing are essential to the mechanism, and ARP is not used by IPv6.
- IS-IS uses CLNS-based network entities and level-specific hellos; level-1 neighbors normally require compatible area membership, while level-2 adjacencies have different area constraints and still need link and authentication compatibility.
- Stateless address autoconfiguration uses advertised IPv6 prefix information and local interface identifier behavior, while Duplicate Address Detection probes for conflicts before enabling the address; DHCPv6 flags influence additional configuration modes.
- A BGP network statement generally requires an appropriate matching route in the local routing table, whereas importing routes from other protocols uses an explicit redistribution mechanism; export policy can further restrict announcements.
