Question 510

A Huawei network troubleshooter needs objective evidence for this case: A backbone change request claims a 300 ms failure threshold, but the operating BFD session uses a 100 ms negotiated interval and a detect multiplier of five. Which diagnostic check MOST DIRECTLY distinguishes the relevant problem? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Inspect the received AS_PATH, origin AS, eBGP neighbor AS, policy additions and route-selection evidence before changing prepend counts.
  2. Inspect BFD discriminator and session state, timer negotiations, neighbor addresses, routing protocol binding and actual packet-loss observations.
  3. Inspect local and remote BFD configured minima, actual negotiated intervals, multiplier values, CPU pressure and observed detection timestamps.
  4. Review the monitored uplink state, tracked priority decrement, master/backup advertisements, preemption settings and return-path reachability.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The discriminating diagnostic check is: Inspect local and remote BFD configured minima, actual negotiated intervals, multiplier values, CPU pressure and observed detection timestamps. In this incident (A backbone change request claims a 300 ms failure threshold, but the operating BFD session uses a 100 ms negotiated interval and a detect multiplier of five.) the desired evidence-led outcome is: The selected timer values achieve the required failure-detection objective without causing repeated false failures under ordinary load.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This option proposes: Inspect the received AS_PATH, origin AS, eBGP neighbor AS, policy additions and route-selection evidence before changing prepend counts. It addresses the different topic BGP AS_PATH path-vector loop prevention, not the directly tested BFD detection multiplier and negotiated timers failure in the stated incident (A backbone change request claims a 300 ms failure threshold, but the operating BFD session uses a 100 ms negotiated interval and a detect multiplier of five.). The better discriminating check for this case is: Inspect local and remote BFD configured minima, actual negotiated intervals, multiplier values, CPU pressure and observed detection timestamps. The targeted correction is: Calculate or verify the practical failure-detection threshold from BFD transmit intervals, advertised receive intervals and the detect multiplier.

B:

This option proposes: Inspect BFD discriminator and session state, timer negotiations, neighbor addresses, routing protocol binding and actual packet-loss observations. It addresses the different topic BFD rapid session detection and routing protocol association, not the directly tested BFD detection multiplier and negotiated timers failure in the stated incident (A backbone change request claims a 300 ms failure threshold, but the operating BFD session uses a 100 ms negotiated interval and a detect multiplier of five.).

D:

This option proposes: Review the monitored uplink state, tracked priority decrement, master/backup advertisements, preemption settings and return-path reachability. It addresses the different topic VRRP interface tracking and controlled preemption, not the directly tested BFD detection multiplier and negotiated timers failure in the stated incident (A backbone change request claims a 300 ms failure threshold, but the operating BFD session uses a 100 ms negotiated interval and a detect multiplier of five.).

Question 511

A network operator evaluates the result of a planned remediation. A backbone change request claims a 300 ms failure threshold, but the operating BFD session uses a 100 ms negotiated interval and a detect multiplier of five. The validation is: Inspect local and remote BFD configured minima, actual negotiated intervals, multiplier values, CPU pressure and observed detection timestamps. Which outcome BEST establishes success? Select ONE best answer.

  1. The intended higher-priority eligible router answers for the shared gateway while the backup remains prepared for a takeover.
  2. Default-gateway mastership moves to a router with working upstream connectivity and recovers predictably after restoration.
  3. The selected timer values achieve the required failure-detection objective without causing repeated false failures under ordinary load.
  4. The route policy permits and transforms precisely the approved prefixes with the required attributes at the intended boundary.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

That follows from the targeted Recommended action: Calculate or verify the practical failure-detection threshold from BFD transmit intervals, advertised receive intervals and the detect multiplier.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That option concerns VRRP master election priority and tie breaks. That follows from the targeted Recommended action: Calculate or verify the practical failure-detection threshold from BFD transmit intervals, advertised receive intervals and the detect multiplier.

B:

That option concerns VRRP interface tracking and controlled preemption. That follows from the targeted Recommended action: Calculate or verify the practical failure-detection threshold from BFD transmit intervals, advertised receive intervals and the detect multiplier.

D:

That option concerns Route-policy node and filtering direction. That follows from the targeted Recommended action: Calculate or verify the practical failure-detection threshold from BFD transmit intervals, advertised receive intervals and the detect multiplier.

Question 512

A Huawei HCIP-Datacom engineer reviews this production networking scenario: A backbone change request claims a 300 ms failure threshold, but the operating BFD session uses a 100 ms negotiated interval and a detect multiplier of five. Which TWO complementary choices together give an appropriate technical response and the direct diagnostic check needed to verify it? Select TWO answers.

  1. Use a carefully scoped Huawei IP prefix list to match the intended route ranges and prefix lengths before applying an import or export policy.
  2. Compare host ARP for the virtual gateway, advertised VRRP virtual MAC, switch forwarding table, master state and test traffic during takeover.
  3. Inspect compatible IS-IS NET area IDs, interface levels and authentication before changing a routing process after adjacency failure.
  4. Calculate or verify the practical failure-detection threshold from BFD transmit intervals, advertised receive intervals and the detect multiplier.
  5. Inspect local and remote BFD configured minima, actual negotiated intervals, multiplier values, CPU pressure and observed detection timestamps.

In this scenario: ing scenario: A backbone change request claims a 300 ms failure threshold, but the operating BFD session uses a 100 ms negotiated interval and a detect multiplier of five.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This option proposes: Use a carefully scoped Huawei IP prefix list to match the intended route ranges and prefix lengths before applying an import or export policy. It addresses the different topic IP prefix filtering and exact route-match conditions, not the directly tested BFD detection multiplier and negotiated timers failure in the stated incident (A backbone change request claims a 300 ms failure threshold, but the operating BFD session uses a 100 ms negotiated interval and a detect multiplier of five.).

Question 513

A Huawei HCIP-Datacom engineer investigates the following network fault: Two campus gateways both advertise VRRP group 10, but their priorities were reversed during maintenance and the backup unexpectedly becomes master. Which corrective action should be prioritized on the stated facts? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Analyze Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol master election using priorities and the virtual router ID instead of a router's physical interface address alone.
  2. Use Bidirectional Forwarding Detection to provide rapid validated failure indications to a supported routing or redundancy protocol.
  3. Check IGMP membership and querier operation on the receiver LAN before changing PIM routing configuration upstream.
  4. Calculate or verify the practical failure-detection threshold from BFD transmit intervals, advertised receive intervals and the detect multiplier.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The case-specific corrective step is: Analyze Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol master election using priorities and the virtual router ID instead of a router's physical interface address alone. The governing technical behavior is: VRRP provides a shared virtual default-gateway identity, generally electing a higher-priority router as master while tie-breaking rules and address-owner behavior are relevant; hosts use the virtual address rather than the physical router selected by a static setting.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This option proposes: Use Bidirectional Forwarding Detection to provide rapid validated failure indications to a supported routing or redundancy protocol. It addresses the different topic BFD rapid session detection and routing protocol association, not the directly tested VRRP master election priority and tie breaks failure in the stated incident (Two campus gateways both advertise VRRP group 10, but their priorities were reversed during maintenance and the backup unexpectedly becomes master.).

C:

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 VRRP master election priority and tie breaks failure in the stated incident (Two campus gateways both advertise VRRP group 10, but their priorities were reversed during maintenance and the backup unexpectedly becomes master.).

D:

This option proposes: Calculate or verify the practical failure-detection threshold from BFD transmit intervals, advertised receive intervals and the detect multiplier. It addresses the different topic BFD detection multiplier and negotiated timers, not the directly tested VRRP master election priority and tie breaks failure in the stated incident (Two campus gateways both advertise VRRP group 10, but their priorities were reversed during maintenance and the backup unexpectedly becomes master.).

Question 514

An enterprise networking reviewer examines this Huawei Datacom situation. Two campus gateways both advertise VRRP group 10, but their priorities were reversed during maintenance and the backup unexpectedly becomes master. A colleague proposes this action: Analyze Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol master election using priorities and the virtual router ID instead of a router's physical interface address alone. Which protocol principle BEST supports that proposal? Select ONE best answer.

  1. VRRP uses a virtual router identity and virtual MAC per IPv4 group to preserve a stable next-hop identity across master changes; correct failover still requires matching VLAN, neighbor learning and eligible router state.
  2. VRRP provides a shared virtual default-gateway identity, generally electing a higher-priority router as master while tie-breaking rules and address-owner behavior are relevant; hosts use the virtual address rather than the physical router selected by a static setting.
  3. WLAN roaming is a client transition between APs, and preserving service depends on consistent SSID/security configuration, mobility coordination and the chosen network architecture, not simply RF overlap.
  4. VRRP tracking can reduce a router's effective priority when a monitored interface or related condition fails; preemption and delay choices determine whether an eligible higher-priority backup takes over as intended.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The relevant protocol behavior is: VRRP provides a shared virtual default-gateway identity, generally electing a higher-priority router as master while tie-breaking rules and address-owner behavior are relevant; hosts use the virtual address rather than the physical router selected by a static setting. In the stated scenario (Two campus gateways both advertise VRRP group 10, but their priorities were reversed during maintenance and the backup unexpectedly becomes master.) this supports the controlled action: Analyze Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol master election using priorities and the virtual router ID instead of a router's physical interface address alone.

Select ONE best answer.

  1. The chosen BGP best path is explained by the actual earliest differentiating criterion rather than a single oversimplified metric.
  2. The intended higher-priority eligible router answers for the shared gateway while the backup remains prepared for a takeover.
  3. Hosts continue using the same logical default gateway through a master change and L2 learning converges to the correct uplink.
  4. The intended routing process responds to a verified forwarding failure in the designed interval without false mass failovers from aggressive unsupported timing.

Explanation
