QuestionQ1

WLAN O&M and Troubleshooting

In a dual-link backup scenario, the active/standby link switchover mode is configured as priority. When the active link recovers, the AP detects that the original active link has a higher priority and initiates a switchback. How many Echo intervals does the AP wait before switching back to the original primary WAC?

  • A 20
  • B 10
  • C 15
  • D 5
Explanation

In priority mode, a recovered original active link with higher priority triggers revertive switching only after 20 Echo intervals, preventing frequent switchovers during network flapping.

QuestionQ2

WLAN Technologies and Protocols

In a dual-link HSB scenario, after an AP establishes CAPWAP links with the active and standby WACs, which of the following packet types does the AP periodically send to the WACs to detect link status?

  • A DTLS
  • B Join
  • C Echo
  • D Keepalive
Explanation

In dual-link HSB, the AP periodically sends CAPWAP Echo messages to the active and standby WACs for heartbeat detection and tunnel-status monitoring.

QuestionQ3

WLAN Deployment and Commissioning

In which of the following scenarios is radio calibration applicable?

  • A Enterprise office scenario
  • B Rail transportation scenario
  • C High-density scenario
  • D WDS or mesh backhaul scenario
Explanation

Radio calibration dynamically optimizes channels and transmit power among APs managed by the same controller, which is suited to a conventional enterprise office WLAN with stable, continuous AP coverage. It does not take effect on radios configured for WDS or Mesh services, and Huawei recommends automatic radio calibration for coverage scenarios other than high-density scenarios.

QuestionQ4

WLAN Security

Which statements about EAP relay and EAP termination are incorrect?

Choose three
  • A In EAP termination mode, an access device encapsulates EAP packets sent by an 802.1X client into RADIUS packets, without processing the data in the EAP packets.
  • B In EAP relay mode, an access device extracts information from EAP packets, encapsulates the information into RADIUS packets, and sends the RADIUS packets to an authentication server.
  • C In EAP termination mode, an access device extracts client authentication information from the EAP packets sent by a client and encapsulates the information using the standard RADIUS protocol. The access device supports only the EAP MD5-Challenge authentication method.
  • D The EAP termination mode simplifies the processing on an access device and supports various authentication methods. However, this mode requires an authentication server to support EAP and have high processing capability.
Explanation

EAP relay transparently carries EAP packets inside RADIUS packets, leaving their EAP contents unprocessed; it simplifies access-device processing, supports multiple EAP methods, and requires an EAP-capable, sufficiently capable RADIUS server. EAP termination instead parses the client’s EAP packets and encapsulates the authentication information in standard RADIUS packets, using PAP or CHAP toward the RADIUS server; it supports only MD5-Challenge EAP authentication in this context.

QuestionQ5

WLAN Technologies and Protocols

Which of the following encapsulation formats are used for EAP termination in 802.1X authentication?

Choose two
  • A EAP-TLS
  • B EAPoL
  • C EAPoR
  • D EAP
Explanation

EAPoL encapsulates EAP packets between the client and access device over a wired or wireless LAN. EAPoR encapsulates EAP packets in RADIUS for communication between the access device and authentication server. EAP-TLS is an authentication method, whereas EAP alone is the underlying authentication framework.
