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.

In IS-IS:

Level-1 routerscan only form neighbor relationships with other Level-1 routersin the same area.

Level-2 routerscan form neighbor relationships with other Level-2 routersregardless of area ID.

Level-1-2 routerscan form relationships at both levels depending on the peer's configuration.

So, iftwo Level-1 routershavedifferent area addresses, theycannotestablish a neighbor relationship.

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

“Level-1 routers must have the same area address to establish neighbor relationships. Level-2 routers can peer across different areas.”

Understanding the ACL Configuration:

ACL Number:3001 is an advanced ACL.

Rule Description:The rule permits ICMP packets with the following criteria:

Source IP:192.168.1.3(host-specific).

Destination IP:192.168.2.0/24(entire subnet).

Analysis of Each Option:

Option A:True. ICMP packets from 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.2.200 (within the subnet) are permitted.

Option B:True. Packets from 192.168.1.2 (not matching the source) are denied by default.

Option C:False. The ACL only permits ICMP packets, not general IP packets.

Option D:True. The ACL is identified by the number 3001.

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 ​.

The operator betweenif-matchclauses under a node is AND, meaning all conditions must be satisfied. However, the operator between nodes is OR, meaning a route matching any node will pass the route-policy ​.

 BGP Route Flapping and Mitigation

While route flapping is a concern in large-scale networks, BGP employs mechanisms such asRoute Dampeningto mitigate its impact. Route dampening suppresses frequently flapping routes for a period of time to reduce resource consumption and network instability.

Therefore, it is incorrect to state that the issue cannot be resolved in BGP.

 HCIP-Datacom-Core Reference

The mechanism of route dampening is detailed in the BGP optimization chapters​​.

In SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), the MIB (Management Information Base) defines the attributes of a managed device. It acts as a structured database of managed objects, each described by a unique OID (Object Identifier). These objects provide critical information and control interfaces for network management. Other elements like the agent (manages the MIB) and NMS (queries the agent) do not define attributes but interact with the MIB ​.

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 isone-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.

A is correct– Local attack defense can classify and prioritize packets (e.g., OSPF, BGP, SSH) andensure critical protocols are processed firstby the CPU.

B is correct– Thedynamic link protection functionensures session-based applications (like SSH)are not disruptedeven during a CPU attack.

C is false– Different protocols havedifferent importance levels, soindividual rate limitsshould be configured, not a uniform one.

D is correct– CPU protectionalso applies to management interfaces, such as those used for Telnet, SSH, or SNMP.

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

“Devices support local attack defense by classifying packets, setting priorities, and limiting rates to protect CPU resources. These policies also apply to the management interface.”

(Chapter: Network Security – Section: Local Attack Defense)

Routing Entries in PIM

(S, G) entries: Represent the shortest path tree (SPT) from a specific source (S) to a specific multicast group (G). These entries are created after data packets are transmitted directly from the source to the receivers.

(S, G) entries are used in both PIM-DM and PIM-SM modes.

PIM-DM and PIM-SM Modes

InPIM-DM, multicast traffic is initially flooded throughout the network and pruned where no receivers exist. (S, G) entries represent source-specific paths created after the flooding stage.

InPIM-SM, multicast traffic initially flows through a shared tree, but (S, G) entries are created when the network switches to the SPT for more efficient forwarding.

HCIP-Datacom-Core Reference

The functionality and application of (S, G) routing entries are detailed in multicast and PIM configuration chapters​​.
