Challenges of Static VXLAN Tunnel Configuration

Astatic VXLAN tunnelrequires manualVTEP-to-VTEP configuration, making it complex to maintain.

✅A. Heavy configuration workload in a distributed gateway scenario

Static VXLAN requires manual configuration of VTEP mappings, making itdifficult to scale and adjustwhen adding new VTEPs.

✅B. Remote MAC addresses are learned through data flooding

UnlikeBGP EVPN-based VXLAN, whichadvertises MAC/IP bindings through BGP,static VXLAN relies on flooding for MAC learning, causingexcessive traffic.

✅D. N(N-1)/2 tunnels are required for full mesh connectivity

IfN devices need to communicate, each must be manually configured withN(N-1)/2 VXLAN tunnels, leading tohigh administrative overhead.

Incorrect Statement Explanation:

❌C. Static VXLAN tunnels use protocols on the control plane, consuming device resources.

Wrong!Static VXLANdoes not use a control plane protocollike BGP EVPN.

Instead,it relies entirely on static mappings, reducing control plane usage.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

Key Factors Affecting FTP Performance:

Tail Drop and TCP Synchronization (A)✅

Tail Dropcauses TCPglobal synchronization, reducing FTP speeds drastically when congestion occurs.

Since FTP isTCP-based, packet loss due to tail drop forcesTCP retransmissions, further degrading performance.

Priority Preemption by Video Traffic (D)✅

UDP-based real-time video trafficis often prioritized overTCP-based trafficto avoid jitter and packet loss.

If video traffic hashigher QoS priority, FTP bandwidth may bepreempted, leading toslow speeds.

Incorrect Options:

❌Option B:PQ scheduling typically prioritizes latency-sensitive traffic (VoIP), but this scenario does not mention priority queuing for FTP.

❌Option C:No information about an explicitrate limiton FTP traffic.

Understanding SRLB (Segment Routing Local Block)

🔹What is SRLB?

SRLB (Segment Routing Local Block)is arange of local MPLS labelsused bySegment Routing (SR-MPLS).

These labels areonly relevant to the local routerand arenot advertised to other routers.

🔹Key SR-MPLS Label Blocks:

✅SRGB (Segment Routing Global Block)– Globally significant labels shared among routers.

✅SRLB (Segment Routing Local Block)– Locally significant labels, not shared.

Why is the Answer TRUE?

✅SRLB labels are only locally defined and are NOT distributed via IGP (OSPF or IS-IS).

✅They are used for local forwarding decisions within an SR-enabled router.

✅Only SRGB labels are advertised to ensure consistent global label assignment.

Real-World Application:

Traffic Engineering (TE):Uses SRLB forcustom local path optimizations.

Segment Routing Networks:Ensuresscalable MPLS forwardingwithout requiring full LDP signaling.

✅Reference:Huawei HCIE-Datacom Guide – Segment Routing Label Blocks (SRGB & SRLB)

802.1X Authentication Overview

802.1X is aport-based authentication mechanismused for secure network access control. It involves:

EAPoL (Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN) communicationbetween theclient (supplicant) and the switch (authenticator).

RADIUS communicationbetween theauthenticator and the authentication server (AAA server).

✅A. 802.1X authentication uses EAPoL to exchange authentication information.

EAPoL (Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN)is used to send authentication packets overEthernet (IEEE 802.3)networks.

✅B. In EAP termination mode, the network device terminates EAP packets and re-encapsulates them into RADIUS.

The switchacts as an authentication proxybyterminating EAP sessions and converting authentication information into RADIUS format.

✅C. EAPoL is for wired (802.3), EAPoW is for wireless (802.11).

EAPoL (EAP over LAN) is used in wired Ethernet networks.

EAPoW (EAP over Wireless) is used in Wi-Fi (802.11) networks.

✅D. In EAP relay mode, EAP packets are encapsulated into RADIUS using EAPoR (EAP over RADIUS).

The switchdoes not terminate the EAP sessionbut insteadforwards EAP messages to the AAA server inside RADIUS packets.

VXLAN Inter-Subnet Routing with Symmetric IRB

VXLAN supportsinter-subnet routingusingIntegrated Routing and Bridging (IRB). Insymmetric IRB, both ingress and egress VTEPs performLayer 3 forwardingto ensure efficient packet forwarding across subnets.

✅A. Both the ingress VTEP and egress VTEP forward packets based on the Layer 3 forwarding table.

Insymmetric IRB, bothingress and egress VTEPs perform Layer 3 lookup and forwarding.

The ingressroutes packets before encapsulating them in VXLAN, and the egressperforms another Layer 3 lookup to determine final delivery.

✅D. When VTEPs forward inter-subnet user communication packets, the VNI carried in the VXLAN header is the L3VNI.

L3VNI (Layer 3 VXLAN Network Identifier)is used forinter-subnet routingbetween VXLAN segments.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

R2 is anArea Border Router (ABR), meaning itconnects multiple OSPF areas(Area 0 and Area 1).

ABRs generate Router-LSAs for each area they belong to.

SinceR2 is part of both Area 0 and Area 1, it must generateRouter-LSAs (Type 1) for both areas.

R2 does not forward Router-LSAs between areas; instead, it generatesSummary LSAs (Type 3)to exchange routing information between areas.

Thus, the correct answer isD.

Huawei Open Programmability System (OPS) and HTTP Request Headers

HuaweiOPSallowsnetwork automation and programmabilitythroughHTTP-based APIs. When using Python scripts to sendHTTP requests to network devices, the requestheaders must specify the content formatfor data exchange.

✅B. Content-Type: text/json, Accept: text/json (Correct Answer)

Content-Type: text/json→ Specifies that the request bodycontains JSON-formatted data.

Accept: text/json→ Specifies that theresponse should be in JSON format.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

BGP4+ (BGP for IPv6) uses theMP_REACH_NLRI(Multiprotocol Reachable Network Layer Reachability Information) attribute to advertise IPv6 routes. This attribute is part of BGP's multiprotocol extensions (RFC 2858), allowing BGP to support multiple address families, including IPv6.

MP_REACH_NLRI:Advertises reachable IPv6 prefixes along with next-hop information.

MP_UNREACH_NLRI:Used to withdraw previously advertised IPv6 routes.

Since IPv6 addresses are significantly different from IPv4 addresses in structure and length (128 bits), the traditional BGP update message format (which supports only IPv4) is insufficient. TheMP_REACH_NLRIattribute solves this by carrying IPv6-specific information.

NETCONF architecture consists of the following conceptual layers:

Secure Transport Layer – Ensures confidentiality (e.g., SSH, TLS)

Messages Layer – Handles framing and encoding (XML-based)

Operations Layer – Includes , , , etc.

Content Layer – Carries the actual configuration and state data defined by YANG models

This makes Option D correct.

Exact Extract – Huawei HCIE-Datacom NETCONF Architecture Overview:

“NETCONF is divided into four conceptual layers: secure transport, message framing, operations, and content layers.”

An IPsec Security Association (SA) includes the following critical components:

SPI (Security Parameter Index)

In OSPF-based SR-MPLS TE, Adjacency Segment Identifiers (Adj-SIDs) are locally assigned by each router for its directly connected interfaces. These labels are allocated from the Segment Routing Local Block (SRLB) configured on the router. By default, Huawei routers use an SRLB range starting at 9000, and Adj-SIDs are assigned sequentially (e.g., 9000, 9001, 9002, etc.) to each adjacency.

For P3, adjacency labels correspond to its outgoing interfaces. Assuming P3 has two adjacencies (e.g., to P2 and P4, as inferred from typical network topologies), it will allocate two unique Adj-SIDs from its SRLB. Based on Huawei’s implementation:

The first adjacency (e.g., to P2) is assigned the next available label in the SRLB (e.g., 9002).

The second adjacency (e.g., to P4) is assigned the subsequent label (e.g., 9003).

Analysis of Options:

Option B (9002): Likely assigned to P3’s first adjacency (e.g., link to P2).

Option C (9003): Likely assigned to P3’s second adjacency (e.g., link to P4).

Option A (9006) and D (9005): These labels are likely allocated by other routers (e.g., P4 or P5), as they fall outside the sequential range assigned by P3.

Key Points:

Adj-SIDs are local to the router and do not conflict with labels from other nodes.

The sequential allocation depends on the SRLB configuration. If the SRLB starts at 9000, labels 9000 and 9001 may be reserved for other purposes (e.g., node SIDs or reserved blocks), leaving 9002 and 9003 for adjacency labels.

Conclusion: P3 allocates 9002 and 9003 for its two adjacencies. Thus, B and C are correct.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

TheOSPF error outputshows:

✔Hello timer mismatch (1 error)→Hello intervals must match for adjacency formation(A)✅

✔No Netmask mismatch errors→Subnet masks are consistent, so option C is incorrect❌

✔No Extern option mismatch→No evidence of area type inconsistency (option D)❌

✔If area IDs were mismatched, adjacency would not form (option B is correct)✅

Thus, the correct answers areA and B.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

WhenIS-ISis used as theIGP (Interior Gateway Protocol)to advertiseSegment Routing (SR) SIDs, theLevel-2 (L2) routeradvertisesnode SIDs globally across the entire IS-IS domain, not just within a single area.

Level-1 (L1) routersonly advertise within the local area, butL2 routersdistribute information across multiple areas, enabling inter-area reachability.

Therefore, the statement isFALSE.

Huawei Open Programmability System (OPS) and Scripting Support

HuaweiOPS (Open Programmability System)enables network automation usingscript-based programmingfordevice management and configuration.

✅Python is the primary language integrated into Huawei OPS.

Python scripts can automate device configurations, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

OPS supports Python libraries for interacting with network APIs and CLI commands.

Used for Huawei CloudCampus, SDN, and Datacom devices.

The command output shows:

*>i before both networks, which means these routes are the preferred routes (*) and are learned via internal BGP (i).

Two networks are listed: 3002::3 and 3002::4, which means R1does havethese two routes in its BGP IPv6 routing table.

For 3002::4, the path origin shows 65001 i, which means this route originated from AS 65001 and was learned through IBGP.

The AS Path attribute is only shown for 3002::4, but both routes are clearly present.

Therefore, the correct conclusion is:

D. R1 has routes 3002::3/128 and 3002::4/128.

In Huawei’sCloudCampus Solution, VNs (Virtual Networks) areisolated by defaultfor security purposes. To enableinter-VN communication, you must explicitly configure policies that allow traffic between different VNs.

The correct way to control and enable this communication is viarouting policies, especiallyinter-VN routing policieson thecore or border nodes.

Static routesorOSPF deploymentsare not sufficient or appropriate for policy-controlled VN communication in this context.

Correct answer: D. Deploy a routing policy

Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA (Type 9) is used in OSPFv3 to carry IPv6 prefix information for a router or network and is flooded within the area.

Link-LSA (Type 8) is only sent on the local link and is not flooded throughout the area.

Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA (Type 3) and Inter-Area-Router-LSA (Type 4) are also flooded within an area but originate from ABRs, typically for cross-area route advertisement.

That said, Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA is specifically flooded within an area, matching the context of the question directly.

Exact Extract - Huawei HCIE-Datacom OSPFv3 Module:

“Intra-Area-Prefix-LSAs are flooded within the area and advertise the IPv6 prefixes associated with router and network LSAs.”

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:1. Understanding SRv6 (Segment Routing over IPv6):SRv6 uses theIPv6 headeralong with an additionalSRH (Segment Routing Header)to implement segment routing within an IPv6 network. The SRH contains:Segment List (SL):A list of IPv6 addresses (segments) to traverse.SL (Segments Left):An integer that indicates thenumber of segmentsyet to be visited.Active Segment:Thenext IPv6 addressin the segment list, stored in theDestination Addressfield of the IPv6 header.2. Analyzing the Given Scenario:Thesegment list (SL)in the SRH header shows:FC04::400FC04::4FC03::3The segment list is processed inreverse order(from bottom to top).SL (Segments Left)indicates theindex of the active segmentin the list.TheDestination Addressin the IPv6 header is currentlyFC04::4, indicating that theactive segmentis thesecond elementin the list.3. Determining the Value of SL:Theindexingin the segment list starts from0.SinceFC04::4is thesecond segment (from the bottom), the value ofSLwill be1.This means that1 segment is leftto be processed after the current one (FC04::4).Once the packet reachesFC04::4, theSL value will decrement to 0, and the next segment (FC03::3) will be processed.4. Why the Answer is 1:TheSL value decreases as segments are processed.As the currentactive segmentis thesecond in the list (from the bottom), theSL value is 1.

Understanding Huawei SD-WAN Tunneling Technologies

Huawei SD-WAN usessecure tunnelingto connect branches, data centers, and cloud services.

🔹Tunneling Technologies in SD-WAN:

✅IPsec (Answer B)→ Providessecure encrypted tunnelsover public or private networks.

✅GRE over IPsec (Answer D)→Encapsulates traffic inside GRE, then encrypts with IPsec, enabling support for multicast and non-IP traffic.

❌A. WLAN (Incorrect Choice)→ WLAN is awireless technology, not a tunneling protocol.

❌C. MPLS (Incorrect Choice)→ MPLS is acore network transporttechnology but is not used to establish SD-WAN data channels directly.

Why are Answers B and D Correct?

✅Huawei SD-WAN primarily uses IPsec for data encryption.

✅GRE over IPsec is used when supporting multicast or dynamic routing protocols over tunnels.

✅Reference:Huawei HCIE-Datacom Guide – SD-WAN Tunneling Mechanisms

Understanding SR-MPLS Label Calculation

SR-MPLS usesSegment Routing Global Block (SRGB)andPrefix SIDsto assign labels dynamically. TheMPLS labelfor a node’s loopback interface is calculated as follows:

MPLS Label=SRGB Base+Prefix SID Index

Where:

SRGB Base=20000(as given in the figure)

Prefix SID Index=30(configured for R3’s Loopback1)

Label Calculation:

20000+30=20030

Thus, theMPLS label corresponding to the loopback1 interface of R3 is 20030.

Why the Answer is 20030?

✔The SRGB defines the base label range.

✔Each router is assigned a unique Prefix SID index.

✔The label is dynamically computed by adding the Prefix SID Index to the SRGB Base.

Why Other Numbers Are Incorrect?

❌Any value outside the range 20000-21000

Would be incorrect because it must be withinR3’s SRGB range.

❌Using the Prefix SID Index directly (30)

Incorrect becauseMPLS labels are not assigned directly using Prefix SIDs; they are computed using the SRGB.

Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC)is a key concept inMPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), where packets with thesame forwarding characteristicsare grouped into an FEC and assigned a label.

Correct Answers (Cannot be Used for FEC Allocation):

A. Fragment Offset–Incorrect as an FEC allocation standard

Fragment offset is used forreassembling fragmented IP packetsat the receiver side.

It isnot relevant for MPLS label assignment.

B. Application Protocol–Incorrect as an FEC allocation standard

MPLSdoes not classify packets based on application-layer protocols(e.g., HTTP, FTP).

It worksmainly at Layer 2 and Layer 3.

Incorrect Answers (Valid FEC Allocation Standards):

C. Destination Address–Valid FEC allocation criterion

One of themost commonMPLS FEC classifications.

Packets with thesame destination are groupedinto the same FEC.

D. Class of Service (CoS)–Valid FEC allocation criterion

MPLS usesCoS-based traffic classification(e.g., Exp bits in MPLS headers).

Different CoS levels can be mapped to different labels.

BGP in Huawei SD-WAN

Huawei SD-WAN usesBGP (Border Gateway Protocol) as the primary routing protocolto exchange VPN routes between Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs) and the controller.

✅Why BGP is Used in SD-WAN?

Scalability: BGP can handle a large number of VPN routes.

Policy-Based Routing: BGP allowstraffic engineering and policy controlacross SD-WAN tunnels.

Multiprotocol Support: Huawei SD-WAN usesMP-BGP to exchange IPv4, IPv6, and VPNv4 routes.

From theIS-IS error output, the key error is:

Mismatched Area Addr(L1): 13

This clearly indicates that thearea addresses are different, which prevents theLevel-1 adjacencyfrom forming.

Why is Option D Correct?

IS-IS Level-1 routers must have the same area IDto form an adjacency.

Since the log shows amismatched area address, the adjacency fails at Level-1.

If R3 and R4 wereLevel-2 routers, they could form an adjacencyeven with different area IDs.

Why Are the Other Options Incorrect?

❌Option A:No authentication failure is reported.

❌Option B:No "Mismatched Level" errors appear, so their levels are compatible.

❌Option C:No "Bad Circuit Type" errors indicate mismatched circuit types.

Thus, the correct answer isD.

SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol designed for secure remote access and is always built on TCP, typically on port 22. UDP is not supported for SSH, as it is connectionless and doesn't provide the required reliability and order.

Exact Extract – Huawei Security Protocol Fundamentals:

“SSH is a TCP-based protocol. It does not support UDP. TCP ensures session reliability and data integrity, which are critical for SSH.”

Understanding SR-MPLS Prefix and Adjacency Segments

🔹What Are Prefix Segments?

Globally uniquelabels assigned to network prefixes.

Advertised viaIGP (OSPF, IS-IS) with SRGB (Segment Routing Global Block).

🔹What Are Adjacency Segments?

Locally significant labelsassigned to direct router adjacencies.

Not globally visible—only used within a local router’sLFIB (Label Forwarding Information Base).

Why is the Answer FALSE?

❌Prefix Segments are globally unique, but Adjacency Segments are only locally significant.

❌Adjacency Segments are not distributed globally through IGP.

✅Only Prefix Segments use globally advertised SRGB labels.

Real-World Application:

Segment Routing Traffic Engineering (SR-TE):Usesprefix segments for global routingandadjacency segments for local path steering.

Understanding 6PE & 6VPE in MPLS Networks

6PE (IPv6 Provider Edge) and 6VPE (IPv6 VPN Provider Edge) areMPLS-based solutionsthat allowIPv6 trafficto be carried over anMPLS IPv4 core networkwithout requiring the entire backbone to support IPv6.

🔹6PE (IPv6 over MPLS - No VPN)

Used forglobal IPv6 routingwithout VPN segmentation.

No need forVRFs (VPN Routing and Forwarding instances)because IPv6 prefixes arehandled natively.

🔹6VPE (IPv6 VPN over MPLS - Supports VPNs)

ExtendsMPLS L3VPNto supportIPv6 routing inside VPN instances.

UsesMP-BGP VPNv6to distribute IPv6 prefixes insideMPLS VPNs.

Why is the Answer TRUE?

✅No VRFs are required for 6PE:

6PEonly needs BGP labeled IPv6 routesin theglobal routing table.

IPv6 prefixes are carried usingMPLS labelswithout VPN segmentation.

✅VRFs are required for 6VPE, NOT for 6PE:

6VPE requires VPN instances (VRFs)forIPv6 L3VPNs, but6PE does not.

✅Real-World Application:

6PE is used in large ISP networkswhere IPv6 deployment is needed butwithout VPN separation.

6VPE is used for enterprise MPLS VPNs, allowing customers to haveisolated IPv6 routing tables.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

In MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching), thelabel retention modedetermines how an LSR (Label Switching Router) handles labels received from its neighbors:

Liberal Mode:

An LSRretains all labels distributed by its neighbors, not just the labels from the next-hop LSR.

This approachensures faster convergencebecause the LSR does not need to request new labels if the next hop changes.

Itdoes not save memory or label space, as it stores more labels than strictly necessary.

Conservative Mode:

An LSRonly retains labels from its next-hop neighbors, saving memory and label space.

StatementsCandDare correct because they accurately describe liberal mode.

StatementsAandBare incorrect because they describe conservative mode.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

The traceroute output shows that the path from R1 to the destination 172.17.1.5 is looping. After reaching the IP 10.1.13.1, the path goes back to 10.1.12.2, repeating the previous hops. This indicates a routing loop, where R1 continuously forwards packets through a circular path, never reaching the destination. Routing loops typically occur due to inconsistent or incorrect routing table entries, often because of routing protocol misconfigurations.

6PE (IPv6 Provider Edge over MPLS) vs. 6VPE (IPv6 VPN Provider Edge over MPLS VPNs)

6PE (IPv6 over MPLS without VPNs):

Uses global IPv6 routingover MPLS.

No VPN instances (VRFs) are created on PEs.

IPv6 addresses cannot be reusedacross different CEs because all traffic is routed using a single global table.

6VPE (IPv6 over MPLS with VPNs):

Uses MPLS VPN (VRF instances) to provide IPv6 VPN services.

VPN instances (VRFs) are created on PEsto separate customer networks.

IPv6 addresses of CEs can be reusedin different VPN instances because each VRF maintains separate routing tables.

Correct Answer Explanation:

✅C. In 6VPE networking, IPv6 addresses of a CE can be reused.

Sinceeach VPN instance (VRF) maintains its own IPv6 routing table, IPv6 addresses of CEscan be reused across different VPNs.

Incorrect Answer Explanations:

❌A. In 6PE networking, VPN instances need to be created on PEs.

Wrong!6PEdoes not use VPN instances (VRFs); it relies on a global IPv6 routing table.

❌B. In 6PE networking, IPv6 addresses of a CE can be reused.

Wrong!Since 6PE uses asingle IPv6 global routing table, IPv6 addressescannot be reused.

❌D. In 6VPE networking, no VPN instance needs to be created on PEs.

Wrong!6VPErequires VPN instances (VRFs) on PEsto separate customer traffic.

VXLAN tunnel configuration, you donot use a control planelike BGP EVPN. Instead, youmanually configureall necessary forwarding parameters, including:VNI (VXLAN Network Identifier): Identifies the VXLAN segment.VTEP IP Address: The remote tunnel endpoint.Ingress Replication List: Required for multicast emulation (flooding/BUM traffic) in the absence of a multicast control plane.Whenconfiguring statically, theVNIis essential to map Layer 2/3 services to the correct VXLAN segment.Thus, the correct word to complete the sentence is:VNICorrect answer: VNI

In BGP, community attributes help control the advertisement scope of BGP routes. Here’s what each option means:

No_Export: This well-known community attribute prevents BGP routes from being advertised to external BGP (EBGP) peers. Routes with this attribute can still be advertised to internal BGP (IBGP) peers within the same AS. This ensures that the route remains within the originating AS.

No_Advertise: This attribute means that the route should not be advertised toanyBGP peer, whether internal or external.

Internet: Indicates that the route can be advertised to all BGP peers, both internal and external, with no restrictions.

No_Export_Subconfed: Similar to No_Export, but it also restricts advertisement to peers within a BGP confederation. It's more specific and not generally used just to keep routes inside one AS.

Therefore, the correct answer isB. No_Export, as it is the attribute that ensures BGP routes remain within the AS by not being sent to EBGP peers.

OSPFv3 (used for IPv6) usesIPv6 multicast addressesfor communication between routers:

FF02::5— All OSPF routers.

FF02::6— All OSPF Designated Routers (DRs) and Backup Designated Routers (BDRs).

FF08::x— These are used for organization-local scope, which isnotapplicable to standard OSPFv3 operation.

Therefore:

C. All OSPF routers use FF02::5— Correct

D. The DR uses FF02::6— Correct

A and B (FF08::x)— Incorrect. These addresses are not used by OSPFv3 in this context.

Correct answers: C and D

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

OSPFv3, which supports IPv6, uses a router ID that is 32 bits in length, similar to OSPFv2. The router ID in OSPF is always a 32-bit number, typically represented in an IPv4 address format (dotted decimal). Although OSPFv3 is designed to support IPv6, itstill relies on a 32-bit router ID for identification, which must be unique within an OSPF domain. The router ID does not change even though the protocol itself supports IPv6 addresses (128 bits).

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

AnNVE (Network Virtualization Edge) interfaceis responsible for connecting physical or virtual devices to a VXLAN network. It functions as theVTEP (VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint)and supportsencapsulation and decapsulation of VXLAN packets.

Layer 2 VXLAN gateway (D)is used for intra-subnet communication, but theNVE interfaceis the actual point where traffic enters the VXLAN network.

Layer 3 VXLAN gateway (A)is used for inter-subnet communication.

VLANIF interface (C)is used for VLAN-based communication, not directly for VXLAN.

Therefore, theNVE interface (B)is the correct answer as it serves as thetraffic ingress and egress point for the VXLAN network.

In YANG model syntax:

cpu-info can be a list node (✓)

cpu-infos can be a container node (✓)

The sampling path does follow the YANG model hierarchy (✓)

Understanding EVPN (Ethernet VPN) Label Allocation and ARP Handling

🔹What Happens in This Scenario?

1️⃣CE1 (192.168.1.1) sends an ARP request to discover the MAC address of CE2 (192.168.1.2).

2️⃣PE1 receives the ARP request and needs to forward it over the EVPN fabric.

3️⃣To send the broadcast ARP request across the EVPN network, PE1 forwards the packet to PE4 using BUM (Broadcast, Unknown unicast, and Multicast) forwarding.

4️⃣PE4, as the Designated Forwarder (DF), forwards the ARP request to CE2.

Role of Labels in EVPN VXLAN/MPLS Networks

🔹EVPN uses BGP to distribute MAC/IP reachability information using different route types.

✅EVPN Type 2 Route (MAC/IP Advertisement Route):

Used forMAC-to-IP address mappingannouncements.

Ensuresremote VTEPs (PE routers) learn MAC-to-IP bindingsdynamically.

✅EVPN Type 3 Route (Inclusive Multicast Route):

Used forBUM traffic (Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, Multicast).

Assigns a multicast label (e.g., 201) to be used for forwarding broadcast packets like ARP requests.

🔹In this case:

Thelabel 201is used forBUM traffic forwarding.

BUM traffic is handled using an EVPN Type 3 route.

Why is the Answer 3?

✅EVPN Type 3 routes carry labels for BUM traffic, which includes ARP requests.

✅Label 201 is used for multicast distribution, which is managed by Type 3 routes.

Real-World Application:

VXLAN Data Centers:UsesEVPN Type 3 routes to control BUM traffic efficiently.

Campus Networks:Preventsunnecessary flooding of ARP requests across VXLAN domains.

Understanding Telemetry Encoding Formats

🔹What is Telemetry?

Telemetry is a real-time network monitoring methodthat provideshigh-frequency data collection.

Used inAI-driven networks for predictive analytics and automation.

🔹Common Telemetry Encoding Formats:

✅GPB (Google Protocol Buffers)

Highly efficient binary formatthat reducesmessage size and CPU overhead.

Commonly used forhigh-speed, real-time analytics.

✅JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)

Human-readable format, widely used inRESTful APIs.

Less efficientthan GPB in high-speed telemetry buteasier to debug.

🔹Why is the Answer FALSE?

❌GPB is not mandatory; JSON can also be used in telemetry.

✅Huawei supports both GPB and JSON telemetry encoding formats.

Real-World Application:

Cloud Networking:UsesGPB for fast data collectionandJSON for API-based telemetry visualization.

AI-Driven Networks:High-speedAI analyticsleverageGPB encodingfor efficiency.

FEC (Forwarding Equivalence Class) in MPLS is a group of packets that are forwarded in the same manner. MPLS can classify packets into FECs based on factors such as:

Destination IP address

Source address

CoS (Class of Service)

Application type

However, Fragment Offset, which is part of the IP header used for IP fragmentation, is not used in FEC classification. Fragment offset is more relevant to how IP packets are reconstructed and not suitable or used as a classification standard for forwarding decisions in MPLS.

Exact Extract - Huawei HCIE-Datacom V1.0 MPLS Chapter:

“FEC classification may be based on various parameters including destination address, source address, and even CoS values. However, fragment offset is not used as an FEC criterion, as MPLS forwarding occurs before IP reassembly.”

Correct answer: A. TRUE

VXLAN networkssuffer from ARP floodingbecause ARP requests arebroadcasted across all VTEPsin a Layer 2 domain. Toreduce ARP flooding, the following mechanisms can be enabled:

✅A. Local Proxy ARP

Allows the local VTEP to respond to ARP requests without forwarding them across the VXLAN network.

The VTEPcaches MAC-IP mappingsand replies directly to ARP requests, reducing unnecessary flooding.

✅B. ARP Broadcast Suppression

Converts ARP broadcast packets into unicast or multicast packetsto minimize network-wide flooding.

✅C. Host Information Collection

Collects and stores MAC-IP bindings of endpoints, which can be used by proxy ARP to reduce flooding.

Incorrect Answer:

❌D. Port Isolation

Port isolation prevents communication between devices within the same VLANbut doesnot help reduce ARP floodingbetween VTEPs.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

Thetelemetry protocol stackis structured as follows:

Communication layer (A):Managesdata transmissionbetween the telemetry client (device) and the server.

Transport layer (B):Uses protocols such asgRPC, HTTP/2, or TCPto transmit telemetry data.

Data encoding layer (C):Encodes data using formats likeJSON, Protobuf, or XML.

TheData analysis layer (D)isnot part of the telemetry protocol stackitself.

Data analysis typically occursafter the data has been collected and receivedon the server or collector.

Telemetry focuses ondata collection, encoding, transport, and transmission, not on analysis.

Therefore, the correct answer isD.

AnABRat the NSSA boundary translates theseType 7 LSAs into Type 5 LSAsto propagate them into the rest of the OSPF domain.

This translation is necessary becauseType 5 LSAsare the standard method for advertising external routes in OSPF.

Therefore, the statement isTRUE.

Link-LSA (Type 8)in OSPFv3 performs the following:

Advertises therouter’s link-local addressto neighbors.

Advertises therouter’s interface IDon the link.

CarriesIPv6 prefixesassociated with the interface (since Router LSA no longer does this in OSPFv3).

TheOptions field in Link-LSAcontainscapabilities of the originating router,notthe options from Network-LSA.

So,Option D is incorrect— the Link-LSA doesnot advertise options from the Network-LSA.

Correct answer: D

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

IP Source Guard (IPSG)is aLayer 3 security featureused to protect againstIP address spoofingby filtering packets based onbound IP-MAC mappings.

Correct Statements:✔IPSG is a Layer 3 filtering mechanismthat checks if the source IP address of a packet matches thelearned or configuredbindings (Option B).✔IPSG prevents unauthorized IP address changesby enforcing binding rules (Option C).✔IPSG defends against IP spoofing attacksby dropping packets fromunauthorized sources(Option D).

Incorrect Statement:❌Option A is incorrectbecause IPSGdoes not send alarms to an NMSwhen an invalid packet is detected. Instead, itdropsthe packet.

Thus, the correct answer isA.

Dynamic VLAN Authorization in Huawei CloudCampus

Dynamic VLAN assignmentallows users to be placed into specific VLANsbased on authentication methods, ensuring security and network segmentation.

Correct Explanations:

✅A. Wired users using 802.1X authentication receive VLAN assignments dynamically.

After authentication,the access control system (e.g., iMaster NCE-Campus)assigns VLANs dynamically.

✅C. Wireless users using 802.1X authentication also receive VLAN assignments.

Similar to wired users,wireless 802.1X authentication allows dynamic VLAN assignmentvia the RADIUS server.

✅D. Wired users using MAC authentication can receive VLAN assignments.

If a userdoes not support 802.1X, MAC authentication can still be used to assign VLANs dynamically.

Incorrect Statement Explanation:

❌B. When wireless users pass Portal authentication, they join the authorization VLANs delivered to edge nodes.

Wrong!InPortal authentication, VLAN assignmentis not dynamically deliveredbecausePortal authentication typically applies access policies, not VLAN changes.

Dynamic VLAN assignment is mainly used with 802.1X or MAC authentication.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

TheHuawei SD-WAN Solutioninvolves four types of channels to ensure smooth and efficient network operation:

Management Channel (A):Used for managing and monitoring SD-WAN devices. It facilitates communication between theiMaster NCE-Campus controllerand SD-WAN devices.

Control Channel (B):Responsible for transmittingcontrol plane informationsuch as routing updates and protocol control messages.

Data Channel (C):Carries actualuser data trafficover the SD-WAN network.

Orchestration Channel (D):Used forservice orchestration, configuration delivery, and policy management.

All four channels work together to provide comprehensive network management, data transmission, and service orchestration in an SD-WAN environment.
