All four options are recognized terminal identification methods. MAC OUI examines the first three bytes of a device’s MAC address to determine its manufacturer, although it generally cannot identify the exact model or operating system. DHCP option identification analyzes fields such as DHCP options 12, 55, and 60, which can reveal the hostname, parameter-request list, vendor class, and other terminal characteristics. SNMP query is an active identification method that retrieves device details from relevant MIB objects and is particularly useful for printers, network devices, and other SNMP-capable equipment.

Nmap is also an active scanning method. It analyzes open ports, service responses, protocol behavior, and operating-system fingerprints to estimate a terminal’s device type and OS. Huawei distinguishes information-reporting methods from proactive scanning methods: MAC OUI and DHCP options generally use information observed in traffic, whereas SNMP and Nmap actively query or scan the endpoint. iMaster NCE-Campus can correlate multiple fingerprints to improve identification accuracy and automatically apply terminal-specific access policies.

==================

Authentication points should generally be placed on access devices close to the terminals. For wireless users, the AP or WLAN access device is the natural admission point because it directly controls the station’s wireless association and service access. For wired users, the access switch directly connects the endpoint and can enforce 802.1X, MAC-address authentication, VLAN authorization, ACLs, and security-group policies.

Huawei recommends access devices as authentication points for employees and specifically recommends access switches as authentication points for wired dumb terminals using MAC-address authentication. Deploying enforcement close to endpoints prevents unauthenticated or unauthorized traffic from traversing deeper into the campus network. It also improves fault isolation, policy granularity, and scalability because admission processing is distributed across access devices.

Option A is incorrect. A centralized authentication point can simplify configuration and policy management, but it does not inherently provide higher performance. It can create concentrated processing pressure, enlarge the Layer 2 scope, and allow unauthenticated traffic to travel farther before being evaluated. Therefore, the recommended principles are represented by B, C, and D.

==================

All four listed classification dimensions are supported slicing approaches in the relevant campus and SD-WAN context. A slice can be created from traffic characteristics, including a 5-tuple or an identified application, so selected flows receive dedicated forwarding, bandwidth, security, or quality policies. Huawei supports customized application identification using URLs and IP 5-tuple information, as well as application- and 5-tuple-based traffic steering and QoS.

VPN- or VN-based slicing provides logical Layer 3 isolation. Huawei’s SD-WAN design maps each VN to an independent VPN instance or VRF and permits different overlay topologies, routing configurations, and policies. User-group-based slicing associates network treatment with identity or security-group membership rather than a permanently assigned IP address, supporting free mobility and consistent policy when users move. Huawei’s campus architecture applies different permissions to different user groups inside a VN.

VLAN- or port-based slicing classifies traffic by the local access attachment and is useful for fixed terminals or environments without identity authentication. Therefore, A, B, C, and D are all correct.

The capabilities introduced with Wi-Fi 7 are 4096-QAM and channel bandwidth of up to 320 MHz. Wi-Fi 7, based on IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput, doubles the maximum channel width available under Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E from 160 MHz to 320 MHz where sufficient regulatory spectrum is available. It also introduces 4096-QAM, encoding 12 bits per modulation symbol compared with 10 bits for Wi-Fi 6’s 1024-QAM. This can increase peak spectral efficiency when the signal-to-noise ratio is sufficiently high.

The other options were available before Wi-Fi 7. Support for up to eight spatial streams existed in earlier IEEE 802.11 generations, and MU-MIMO was already supported before Wi-Fi 7, with major uplink and downlink enhancements delivered by Wi-Fi 6. The 6 GHz band was commercially introduced through Wi-Fi 6E. Huawei’s material specifically describes Wi-Fi 6E as extending Wi-Fi 6 into the 6 GHz spectrum. Wi-Fi 7 continues using 6 GHz but did not introduce it. Therefore, only A and C are correct.

==================

After identifying a terminal, iMaster NCE-Campus can use the identification result for security monitoring, visibility, and policy automation. Spoofing detection is supported because the platform can compare a terminal’s current type and traffic behavior with its previously identified characteristics. For example, if a device originally identified as an IP phone suddenly behaves like a PC, the system can generate a spoofing alarm or apply an isolation policy.

Terminal identification also supports statistics and reporting by vendor, operating system, device category, access port, and policy status. Huawei explicitly describes terminal-type statistics, report export, and visibility of access policies.

In addition, iMaster NCE-Campus can automatically deliver VLAN, security-group, QoS, authentication, and access-permission policies according to the identified terminal type. Option B is incorrect because wired authentication is an admission process, not a service produced after terminal identification. Therefore, A, C, and D are correct.

==================

The intended answer is AES-256. In certification material, this question normally refers to the enhanced WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit security suite, which uses the GCMP-256 data-protection algorithm based on AES-256, together with stronger integrity and key-management components. AES-512 is not a standardized AES variant, and RC4 is the obsolete stream cipher associated with legacy WEP and TKIP-era protection rather than WPA3.

There is an important technical qualification: WPA3 is a family of certification modes, not one universal cipher suite. WPA3-Personal commonly uses Simultaneous Authentication of Equals for password-authenticated key establishment and requires CCMP-128, which is based on AES-128. WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit mode, however, uses AES-256 in GCM mode. Therefore, the original wording is broader than it should be. A technically precise version would ask which algorithm is associated with the WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit security suite. Under the intended Huawei examination scope and the supplied single-choice options, option B is correct. That distinction is crucial when interpreting this simplified examination item.

==================

Huawei firewalls provide four commonly predefined security zones: Local, Trust, DMZ, and Untrust. The Local zone represents the firewall itself, including traffic generated by or destined for the device, and has the highest default security priority of 100. The Trust zone normally represents an organization’s protected internal network and has a default priority of 85, not 95. Therefore, option C is false.

The DMZ typically hosts public-facing or semi-trusted resources, such as web, email, and application servers. Its default priority is 50, placing it between the trusted internal network and the external untrusted network. The Untrust zone normally represents the Internet or another uncontrolled network and has the lowest predefined priority of 5.

Zone priority expresses the relative security level used to classify inbound and outbound traffic direction; it does not independently permit traffic. Security policies still determine whether matched traffic is allowed or denied. Huawei’s SD-WAN design uses Trust and Untrust zones on CPEs, and iMaster NCE can orchestrate the corresponding zones and firewall policies for Internet-access protection.

==================

A central switch in the relevant passive Ethernet network architecture supports a maximum of 48 access units. The architecture replaces a conventional multi-layer access design with a centralized switch and distributed remote or access units. The access units function as extensions of the central switch’s ports, simplifying device management, configuration, and topology maintenance.

Huawei’s CloudEngine S5731-H fixed central-switch specification provides models with 24 or 48 hybrid optical-electrical downlink ports. The 48-port model can therefore directly manage up to 48 associated access or remote units under the design limits represented by this question. The same hybrid links can provide data transmission and remote PoE power, enabling access units to be installed closer to terminals without requiring conventional active aggregation equipment at every location.

The central switch automatically discovers the topology, while remote units behave as extended ports rather than independently managed switches. This reduces management nodes and simplifies a traditional three-layer network into a two-layer architecture. The larger values of 64, 72, and 96 exceed the supported maximum for the specified central-switch implementation. Therefore, option C is correct.
