In inter-AC roaming scenarios, an AC (Access Controller) can serve as the mobility server for multiple mobility groups, enabling it to manage roaming among multiple groups. However, an AC can only belong to one specific mobility group. This constraint ensures that mobility management remains streamlined and avoids conflicts. Huawei WLAN mobility configuration guides validate this setup ​.

Understanding DIS Election in IS-IS:

On an IS-IS broadcast network, a Designated Intermediate System (DIS) is elected to create and update pseudonodes for efficient communication.

The election is based on the following criteria:

DIS Priority: The router with the highest priority is elected as the DIS.

Router ID (tie-breaker): If priorities are equal, the router with the highest Router ID is elected.

Analyzing the DIS Priorities and Router IDs:

R1: Priority = 64, Router ID = 1.1.1.1

R2: Priority = 1, Router ID = 2.2.2.2

R3: Priority = 127, Router ID = 3.3.3.3

R4: Priority = 10, Router ID = 4.4.4.4

Among the routers, R3 has the highest DIS priority (127), making it the DIS.

Correct Option:

Option B (R3): Correct, as R3 has the highest priority.

Option A (R1): Incorrect, as its priority is lower (64).

Option C (R4): Incorrect, as its priority is lower (10).

Option D (R2): Incorrect, as its priority is the lowest (1).

In BGP and other TCP-based protocols like OSPF and IS-IS, when devices have different Hold Times, the smaller value is chosen after negotiation. This ensures faster detection of communication loss.

The Keepalive and Hold Timers are negotiated during the establishment of a BGP session.

The smaller Hold Time is used to maintain symmetry and prevent timeouts.

Reference from Huawei HCIP-Datacom-Core Technology Study Guide:

“When negotiating Hold Time, both ends agree to use the smaller of the two values. This value is used to detect failures faster.”

The forwarding plane of a switch consists of data forwarding hardware, such as line cards or forwarding engines, and is responsible for tasks like encapsulating/decapsulating packets, providing high-speed data channels, and collecting packet statistics. However, main control boards are part of the control plane, not the forwarding plane. This distinction ensures a separation of data forwarding and control functionalities ​.

In OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), each router maintains a Link-State Database (LSDB), which must be synchronized with other routers in the same area. When an OSPF router receives an LSA (Link-State Advertisement) that it does not already have in its LSDB, it takes the following steps:

It updates its LSDB with the new LSA.

It floods the LSA to all its other OSPF neighbors (except the one from which it received the LSA).

This ensures that all routers in the OSPF area eventually converge to the same network topology.

Reference from Huawei HCIP-Datacom-Core Technology Study Guide:

“When an LSA is received and it is newer or not present in the LSDB, the router updates the LSDB and floods the LSA to other neighbors to ensure database synchronization.”

(Chapter: OSPF Fundamentals – Section: LSDB Synchronization)

When configuring VRRP, the virtual router priority and virtual IP address are mandatory because they define the VRRP instance and its role within the group. Preemption mode and preemption delay are optional configurations that influence how routers take over the master role when priorities change. These are not mandatory for the VRRP protocol to function ​.

The preference of routing protocols determines the selection order of routes when a router receives multiple routes to the same destination from different routing protocols. For instance, OSPF has a higher preference over RIP, so OSPF routes will be selected first. Huawei routing preferences confirm this behavior ​.

 IP Prefix List Matching Conditions

An IP prefix list matches based on:

Mask: Specifies the subnet mask length.

Action: Specifies whether to permit or deny.

Index: Orders the rules within the prefix list.

Port numbers are not applicable as matching conditions in an IP prefix list.

 HCIP-Datacom-Core Reference

IP prefix list configurations are detailed in the routing policy and route filtering chapters​​.

A is true – MAC authentication often uses PAP or CHAP for basic password exchange.

B is false – By default, both the username and password are set to the full MAC address of the terminal, not just the last 6 digits.

C is true – MAC authentication is transparent to the user and requires no client software on the terminal.

D is true – The authentication system includes:

Terminal (user device),

Access device (AP or switch), and

Authentication server (e.g., RADIUS).

Reference from Huawei HCIP-Datacom-Core Technology Study Guide:

“MAC authentication does not require client-side software. By default, both the user name and password are the complete MAC address in lowercase without delimiters.”
