H12-821_V1.0 Exam Dumps - Huawei HCIP-Datacom Questions and Answers

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

VRRP Virtual MAC Address Format:

The VRRP virtual MAC address is generated using the format:0000-5e00-01XX, where XX represents the VRID in hexadecimal.

Calculation:

VRID = 1 → Hexadecimal = 01.

Virtual MAC = 0000-5e00-0101.

Correct Option:

C (0000-5e00-0101).

Let me continue with the next set of questions!

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Overview of IP Multicast:

IP multicast is a method of delivering data from one source to multiple destinations simultaneously.

Unlike unicast (one-to-one communication) or broadcast (one-to-all communication), multicast is one-to-many, allowing data to be sent only to subscribers (multicast group members).

This significantly conserves bandwidth and reduces the load on the network because the source only sends a single stream of data, which is replicated by multicast routers as needed.

2. Use Cases for IP Multicast:

IP multicast is widely used in network services that involve real-time or large-scale data delivery, such as:

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television): Broadcasting live TV streams.

Real-Time Data Transmission: Delivering stock market data, sensor updates, etc.

Multimedia Conferencing: Supporting group calls, webinars, and online meetings.

3. Why the Statement is TRUE:

IP multicast reduces unnecessary traffic and maximizes efficiency, making it ideal for these types of network services.

IPv4 supports three main transmission modes:

Unicast: One-to-one communication.

Broadcast: One-to-all communication within a network.

Multicast: One-to-many communication to a group of interested receivers.Anycast is not a native IPv4 mode but is introduced in IPv6 ​.

On Huawei devices, multiple BGP processes can be configured on the same router, but they are typically used for specific use cases such as multi-instance deployments or virtual routers. This flexibility is supported by Huawei's routing protocols ​.

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

OSPF State Machine:

OSPF adjacency progresses through several states: Down > Init > 2-Way > ExStart > Exchange > Loading > Full.

The 2-Way state indicates that routers have exchanged Hello packets but are not forming full adjacencies.

Possible Causes for Staying in the 2-Way State:

Hello Time Values Are Different (A): Mismatched Hello/Dead intervals prevent adjacency establishment.

Area IDs Are Different (B): OSPF routers must belong to the same area to establish adjacency.

Router IDs Conflict (C): While Router ID conflicts cause other issues, they do not result in the 2-Way state.

N-bit and E-bit Are the Same (D): Matching N-bit/E-bit values are normal and do not cause problems.

Huawei OSPF Neighbor State Analysis

When a Huawei firewall receives a packet that does not match any existing session table entry, it discards the packet. This is part of the default firewall policy, which ensures that unrecognized traffic is treated as a potential security risk and blocked. This behavior is vital for preventing unauthorized access and mitigating external attacks. The feature aligns with Huawei's default security strategies as detailed in their firewall operation manuals ​.

Comprehensive and Detailed in-depth Step-by-Step Explanation:To understand this question, let's first review the functional planes in network devices, particularly Huawei switches:

Control Plane:

The control plane is responsible for generating and maintaining routing tables and forwarding entries.

It uses protocols like OSPF, BGP, and RIP to exchange routing information with other network devices. Once the routing information is processed, it installs forwarding entries into the forwarding plane for actual packet forwarding.

On Huawei switches, the control plane is mandatory for building and updating the forwarding table. Without it, the data plane cannot forward traffic correctly.

Forwarding Plane (or Data Plane):

This plane handles the actual forwarding of packets based on the forwarding table created by the control plane.

The forwarding plane operates at high speed to ensure that traffic flows efficiently.

Monitoring Plane:

This plane is responsible for network management and monitoring. It gathers statistics and provides tools for troubleshooting and visibility.

In this case, the control plane provides the routing information and forwarding entries required for the data plane to perform packet forwarding. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Control plane.

The election of a Designated Router (DR) and Backup Designated Router (BDR) occurs during the OSPF network's initial setup or upon the failure of an existing DR. A new router joining an OSPF network does not automatically preempt the current DR, even if it has the highest priority. DR and BDR elections are not preemptive. The other statements are correct regarding OSPF DR/BDR election processes ​.

Network Types and Corresponding Link Layer Protocols

Broadcast: Ethernet

Point-to-Point (P2P): PPP, HDLC

Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP): PPP

Non-Broadcast Multi-Access (NBMA): Frame Relay

 OSPF Network Types:OSPF classifies networks based on link layer protocols into the following types:

Broadcast: This type assumes that all routers on the network can communicate directly with one another using multicast or broadcast frames. Ethernet networks are typical examples.

Point-to-Point (P2P): This type is used for links that connect two routers directly. Common protocols include PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) and HDLC.

Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP): This type simulates multiple point-to-point connections over a single physical network, often used in WAN scenarios where PPP is employed.

Non-Broadcast Multi-Access (NBMA): These networks connect multiple devices but lack native broadcast capability, such as Frame Relay.

The DHCPNAK message is sent by the DHCP server to the client to indicate that the requested configuration is not valid. Messages like DHCPDiscover, DHCPRequest, and DHCPRelease are initiated by the client in the DHCP process ​.
