Which diagnostic check MOST DIRECTLY distinguishes the relevant problem? Select ONE best answer.
- Review phase 1/IKE negotiation logs, IPsec child SA proposals, traffic selectors, encap/decap packet counters and the route to the remote subnet.
- Inspect the summarization boundary, contributing active component prefixes, aggregate advertisement and forwarding toward the actual destinations.
- Inspect ingress interface VPN instance, per-instance routes, next-hop resolution and authorized route import or interconnect rules.
- Inspect the user or TACACS/RADIUS identity, assigned privilege, SSH negotiation, source address controls and accounting records for a test login.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:The discriminating diagnostic check is: Review phase 1/IKE negotiation logs, IPsec child SA proposals, traffic selectors, encap/decap packet counters and the route to the remote subnet. In this incident (An IPsec tunnel shows an established IKE SA but no ESP packet increments because the local and remote protected subnet selectors differ.) the desired evidence-led outcome is: The peers establish valid security associations and approved subnet traffic is protected and forwarded through the intended tunnel.
Incorrect Answers
B:This option proposes: Inspect the summarization boundary, contributing active component prefixes, aggregate advertisement and forwarding toward the actual destinations. It addresses the different topic OSPF summarization at ABR and ASBR, not the directly tested IPsec VPN IKE negotiation versus ESP data channel failure in the stated incident (An IPsec tunnel shows an established IKE SA but no ESP packet increments because the local and remote protected subnet selectors differ.).
C:This option proposes: Inspect ingress interface VPN instance, per-instance routes, next-hop resolution and authorized route import or interconnect rules. It addresses the different topic VRF traffic separation and route leaking controls, not the directly tested IPsec VPN IKE negotiation versus ESP data channel failure in the stated incident (An IPsec tunnel shows an established IKE SA but no ESP packet increments because the local and remote protected subnet selectors differ.).
D:This option proposes: Inspect the user or TACACS/RADIUS identity, assigned privilege, SSH negotiation, source address controls and accounting records for a test login. It addresses the different topic Network device AAA role SSH and management-plane protection, not the directly tested IPsec VPN IKE negotiation versus ESP data channel failure in the stated incident (An IPsec tunnel shows an established IKE SA but no ESP packet increments because the local and remote protected subnet selectors differ.).
Question 471
A network operator evaluates the result of a planned remediation. An IPsec tunnel shows an established IKE SA but no ESP packet increments because the local and remote protected subnet selectors differ. The validation is: Review phase 1/IKE negotiation logs, IPsec child SA proposals, traffic selectors, encap/decap packet counters and the route to the remote subnet. Which outcome BEST establishes success? Select ONE best answer.
- The peers establish valid security associations and approved subnet traffic is protected and forwarded through the intended tunnel.
- The chosen BGP best path is explained by the actual earliest differentiating criterion rather than a single oversimplified metric.
- Each customer remains isolated as intended and only approved prefixes cross any explicitly configured inter-VRF boundary.
- The expected address mapping is applied to permitted sessions and response packets find their way back through the firewall.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:That follows from the targeted Recommended action: Troubleshoot a site-to-site IPsec tunnel by separating IKE security-association establishment from protected ESP payload transport.
Incorrect Answers
B:That option concerns BGP route preference sequence and policy precedence. That follows from the targeted Recommended action: Troubleshoot a site-to-site IPsec tunnel by separating IKE security-association establishment from protected ESP payload transport.
C:That option concerns VRF traffic separation and route leaking controls. That follows from the targeted Recommended action: Troubleshoot a site-to-site IPsec tunnel by separating IKE security-association establishment from protected ESP payload transport.
D:That option concerns Huawei firewall NAT and address translation context. That follows from the targeted Recommended action: Troubleshoot a site-to-site IPsec tunnel by separating IKE security-association establishment from protected ESP payload transport.
Question 472
An operations change board examines an unsafe shortcut for this incident. An IPsec tunnel shows an established IKE SA but no ESP packet increments because the local and remote protected subnet selectors differ. Which proposed assumption is MOST DIRECTLY dangerous or unsupported? Select ONE best answer.
- Enable unencrypted Telnet from any source and reuse one shared administrator account because the switch has a separate data-plane ACL.
- Create an inter-zone allow policy and assume that private source addresses will automatically be translated to a publicly routable address with no NAT rule.
- Assume the lowest numerical route preference must always override a longer matching prefix for the same destination regardless of mask length.
- Treat successful UDP reachability to a VPN gateway as conclusive evidence that IKE authentication and IPsec child security associations are fully established.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:The unsafe assumption to reject is: Treat successful UDP reachability to a VPN gateway as conclusive evidence that IKE authentication and IPsec child security associations are fully established. It conflicts with: IKE negotiates security associations and authenticates peers, while IPsec ESP carries encrypted or integrity-protected traffic as configured; matching peer identities, proposals and traffic selectors are needed for an effective tunnel. The supported corrective alternative is: Troubleshoot a site-to-site IPsec tunnel by separating IKE security-association establishment from protected ESP payload transport.
Incorrect Answers
A:This option proposes: Enable unencrypted Telnet from any source and reuse one shared administrator account because the switch has a separate data-plane ACL. It addresses the different topic Network device AAA role SSH and management-plane protection, not the directly tested IPsec VPN IKE negotiation versus ESP data channel failure in the stated incident (An IPsec tunnel shows an established IKE SA but no ESP packet increments because the local and remote protected subnet selectors differ.).
B:This option proposes: Create an inter-zone allow policy and assume that private source addresses will automatically be translated to a publicly routable address with no NAT rule. It addresses the different topic Huawei firewall NAT and address translation context, not the directly tested IPsec VPN IKE negotiation versus ESP data channel failure in the stated incident (An IPsec tunnel shows an established IKE SA but no ESP packet increments because the local and remote protected subnet selectors differ.).
C:This option proposes: Assume the lowest numerical route preference must always override a longer matching prefix for the same destination regardless of mask length. It addresses the different topic Longest prefix match and route preferences, not the directly tested IPsec VPN IKE negotiation versus ESP data channel failure in the stated incident (An IPsec tunnel shows an established IKE SA but no ESP packet increments because the local and remote protected subnet selectors differ.).
Question 473
A Huawei HCIP-Datacom engineer investigates the following network fault: A managed service provider supports two tenants using overlapping 10.0.0.0/8 addresses and one tenant unexpectedly sees another's service after an interface is assigned to the wrong VRF. Which corrective action should be prioritized on the stated facts? Select ONE best answer.
- Examine per-VRF routing and interface membership before declaring two isolated customer networks mutually reachable.
- Enforce role-based management authentication and encrypted remote administration instead of relying on shared cleartext or unrestricted control-plane access.
- Configure VRRP priority tracking with suitable preemption behavior so loss of upstream connectivity changes the preferred gateway.
- Trace source or destination address translation separately from security policy when applications fail across a routed perimeter.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:The case-specific corrective step is: Examine per-VRF routing and interface membership before declaring two isolated customer networks mutually reachable. The governing technical behavior is: A Virtual Routing and Forwarding instance keeps a distinct routing table for assigned interfaces, and inter-VRF connectivity needs explicit appropriate route sharing or security-controlled transit rather than an assumption of global-table access.

Question 474
An enterprise networking reviewer examines this Huawei Datacom situation. A managed service provider supports two tenants using overlapping 10.0.0.0/8 addresses and one tenant unexpectedly sees another's service after an interface is assigned to the wrong VRF. A colleague proposes this action: Examine per-VRF routing and interface membership before declaring two isolated customer networks mutually reachable. Which protocol principle BEST supports that proposal? Select ONE best answer.
- AAA separates authentication, authorization and accounting for device management, while SSH protects management sessions and access policies can limit trusted administrative sources.
- IKE negotiates security associations and authenticates peers, while IPsec ESP carries encrypted or integrity-protected traffic as configured; matching peer identities, proposals and traffic selectors are needed for an effective tunnel.
- A Virtual Routing and Forwarding instance keeps a distinct routing table for assigned interfaces, and inter-VRF connectivity needs explicit appropriate route sharing or security-controlled transit rather than an assumption of global-table access.
- MED is an optional nontransitive BGP attribute, with lower values typically favored when compared under applicable rules; it is often compared for routes from the same neighboring AS unless policy changes this behavior.
