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

In OSPF, Database Description (DD) packets are used during the database synchronization process. In the first DD packet a router sends during neighbor establishment, three control bits are set:

I bit (Initial) = 1 → This indicates that the DD packet is the first in the sequence.

M bit (More) = 1 → This means more DD packets will follow.

MS bit (Master/Slave) = 1 → Set by the router assuming the master role in the exchange process.

Setting all three bits to 1 is a standard part of the DD exchange initiation.

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

“In the initial DD packet, the I, M, and MS bits are set to 1 by the master router initiating database exchange.”

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

Analysis of BGP Attributes:

Original Next Hop: The output shows that the original next hop of the route is 172.16.1.2. (A is correct).

Local Router ID: The local BGP router ID is 10.1.1.1, as displayed. (B is correct).

Local AS Number: The local AS number is 100, as displayed. (C is correct).

Incorrect Option:

Local_Pref: Although Local_Pref is an important attribute, this route is marked as invalid due to "IP unreachable" and thus cannot be preferentially selected.

In OSPF, Link State Advertisements (LSAs) are used to exchange routing and topology information. Each LSA in the OSPF network is uniquely identified using a 3-tuple identifier, which consists of:

Link State ID:

The Link State ID uniquely identifies the LSA within the OSPF area. Its value depends on the LSA type. For example, for a Router LSA, the Link State ID is the originating router’s Router ID.

Advertising Router:

This is the Router ID of the router that generated the LSA. It identifies which router is responsible for creating and advertising this LSA.

LSType:

This field identifies the type of LSA (e.g., Router LSA, Network LSA, Summary LSA, AS-External LSA, etc.). It is crucial for interpreting the purpose and content of the LSA.

The LS Sequence Number is not part of the 3-tuple that uniquely identifies the LSA. Instead, it is used to determine the most recent version of the LSA in case there are multiple instances of the same LSA.

ARP spoofing is a Layer 2 attack, as it targets ARP tables in switches or end devices. All other attacks, including IP spoofing, ICMP attacks, and Smurf attacks, are network layer (Layer 3) attacks ​.

This statement is false because IGMPv2 improves upon IGMPv1 by introducing the Leave Group message.

In IGMPv1, members leave silently, and the router waits for the timeout.

In IGMPv2, a host sends a Leave Group message, prompting the router to send a Group-Specific Query to determine if other members are still present. If no responses are received, the group is pruned before timeout.

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

“IGMPv2 allows group members to actively send Leave messages, reducing unnecessary forwarding delays. This improves efficiency over IGMPv1.”

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

Firewall Session Table:

A session table is used to track active sessions. If a session remains idle for longer than the configured aging time, it is removed to free resources and enhance security.

TCP Session Timeout:

If the interval between two packets exceeds the session timeout, the firewall deletes the session information, requiring the session to be re-established.

When two BGP peers negotiate the Hold Time, the shorter value between the two configured Hold Time values is selected. This ensures compatibility and maintains the stability of the BGP session ​.

A stateful inspection firewall tracks the state of network connections and only matches the initial packet against its rule set. Subsequent packets in the same connection are matched in the state table. Contrary to this, UDP packets can be inspected by correlating them with connection states, and packets in a single connection are always correlated ​.

RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding) checks are used to prevent multicast loops. An RPF check uses the unicast routing table (or multicast static routes, if configured) to determine the correct incoming interface for a multicast packet.

Multicast protocols like PIM use the RPF mechanism, and the unicast routing table is the primary reference.

Multicast dynamic routing protocols do not maintain their own separate tables for RPF by default.

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

“RPF checks are performed using the unicast routing table or multicast static routes. The interface through which the multicast source is reachable is considered valid for RPF.”
