QuestionQ1

Huawei Cloud O&M Solution

In an OSPF network, when a router receives an update for an LSA already present in its local LSDB, it updates the LSDB and floods the LSA.

Explanation

OSPF compares a received LSA with the corresponding LSDB entry. A received LSA is installed and flooded only when it is more recent than the database copy, subject to flooding-timing rules. An identical or older LSA is not simply installed and flooded.

QuestionQ2

Enterprise Application Architectures and Cloud Technologies

Attackers frequently gain system-administrator login privileges through a variety of attacks. Which of the following actions can improve the security of administrator accounts?

Choose two
Explanation

Privileged access should follow least privilege and individual accountability. Regularly removing unneeded administrator accounts reduces the attack surface, while separate accounts for administrators in distinct maintenance roles prevent account sharing and make permissions and activity traceable to an individual.

QuestionQ3

Enterprise Application Architectures and Cloud Technologies

In OSPF, LSA flapping occurs when two routers with the same router ID operate in different areas and one router is an ASBR.

Explanation

An OSPF router ID must be unique throughout the OSPF autonomous system. An ASBR originates AS-external LSAs with AS-wide flooding scope, so duplicating its router ID on another router can create conflicting LSA originator information and result in LSA flapping.

Which statement below is false according to the IGMP information for an interface on RTA?

Question Image

Explanation

The 60-second query interval is the interval for IGMP General Query messages. IGMP Group-Specific Query messages use the last-member query interval instead. The interface information also directly shows address 192.168.1.1, IGMPv2, and a 10-second maximum Query-response time.

QuestionQ5

Huawei Cloud O&M Solution

To lessen the effort required to configure VPN instances, an administrator can use a script to batch-import interface IP addresses and features to the device, and then manually bind the interfaces to VPN instances.

Explanation

Binding an interface to a VPN instance using ip binding vpn-instance deletes the interface’s Layer 3 configuration, including IP address and routing-protocol configuration. The VPN instance must be bound first, after which the interface IP configuration can be applied or restored.
