Huawei H12-891_V1.0 - HCIE-Datacom V1.0

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

✔SRv6 (Segment Routing over IPv6) Flavorsprovide additionalprocessing behaviorsfor SRv6End instructions.

✔PSP (Penultimate Segment Popping) Flavor:

PSP enables the penultimate node to remove the SRH (Segment Routing Header)before forwarding the packet to the last segment.

This reduces the processing overheadon the final segment node.

✔Correct End Instructions for PSP:

✅(A) End.X→ Cross-connect behavior between segments.

✅(C) End.T→ Transport encapsulation in SRv6.

✅(D) End→ Basic SRv6 endpoint behavior.

❌(B) End.BM is incorrect→ This is used forBinding Segment (BSID)behavior and does not support PSP.

Inter-AS MPLS L3VPN Option BrequiresASBRs to exchange VPNv4 routesusingeBGPwith label information.

Analysis of Inter-AS VPN Solutions:

Option B uses eBGP to exchange labeled VPNv4 routes between ASBRs but does not require MPLS between ASBRs.

Option A does not exchange VPNv4 routes over ASBRs (uses IP routing instead).

Option C uses MP-BGP and requires full MPLS between ASBRs.

Since Option B requires ASBRs to exchange VPNv4 routes, the correct answer is B.

Understanding 802.1X Authentication in Enterprise Networks

🔹What is 802.1X?

802.1X is a network access control (NAC) protocol that enforces authentication before allowing a device to connect to a LAN.

It usesEAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol)overRADIUSfor user verification.

Typically deployed incorporate and campus networksforsecure wired and wireless access.

🔹How Does 802.1X Work?

1️⃣Client (Supplicant) → Requests network access.

2️⃣Switch (Authenticator) → Forwards request to RADIUS server.

3️⃣RADIUS Server → Verifies credentials & grants access.

Mandatory Steps to Enable 802.1X on SW3

✅A. Configure an AAA Scheme

Defines authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) methods.

Links802.1X authentication to the RADIUS server.

✅B. Configure an Authentication Profile

Specifies how authentication is handled on the switch.

Associates802.1X authentication with an AAA scheme.

✅C. Configure an Authentication Domain

Groups authentication policies for different user types.

MapsAAA scheme to user login requests.

✅D. Configure an 802.1X Access Profile

Applies 802.1X authentication to specific switch ports (GE0/0/2 & GE0/0/3).

Ensures thatonly authenticated users can pass traffic.

Why Are All Four Steps Necessary?

✅Each step plays a critical role in enabling 802.1X authentication and linking it to the RADIUS server.

✅Without any one of these configurations, the 802.1X authentication process would fail.

Real-World Application:

Enterprise Wired Security:Ensures thatonly authenticated devicesaccess corporate networks.

University Campuses & Public Wi-Fi:Prevents unauthorized access tosecure LAN environments.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

✔The Best Protection Against MITM and Spoofing Attacks:

✅(D) Associating DHCP Snooping with IPSG (IP Source Guard) and DAI (Dynamic ARP Inspection)providescomplete protectionby:

Blocking rogue DHCP servers.

Preventing MAC/IP spoofing.

Ensuring only valid clients access the network.

✔Why Not Other Options?

❌(A) Configuring trusted/untrusted interfacesonly helpsblock rogue DHCP servers, but does not prevent spoofing.

❌(B) Limiting MAC address learningprevents MAC flooding, but does not stopMITM attacks.

❌(C) Checking the CHADDR field in DHCP Snoopinghelps detectspoofed requests, but does not block all MITM scenarios.

HuaweiiMaster NCE-Campusprovidesopen APIsfor seamless integration with third-party applications and services. Each API serves a specific purpose in managingnetwork security, operations, analytics, and user interactions.

1. Authentication and authorization → Third-party authentication API

This API is used to integrate third-party authentication systems, such as:

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)

OAuth/OpenID authentication

It ensures secureuser identity verification, access control, and single sign-on (SSO)in CloudCampus networks.

2. Network O&M → Infrastructure API

TheInfrastructure APIprovides tools fornetwork monitoring, diagnostics, and automated management.

It is used for:

Device status monitoring

Network topology visualization

Fault detection and real-time alerts

Performance optimization

3. LBS (Location-Based Services) → LBS API

TheLBS APIenables applications to accesslocation datacollected by the network.

It is used for:

Tracking users or assets within a campus network

Heatmap generation and movement analytics

Geo-fencing and location-based policies

4. Crowd profiling → VAS API

VAS (Value-Added Services) APIis designed foradvanced analytics and business intelligence.

It supports:

User behavior analytics

Demographic profiling

Marketing strategies based on network usage patterns

Static information collection and analysisrefers to gatheringnon-changing (static) parametersof the network devices. These parameters are mostlyconfiguration-relatedand do not fluctuate dynamically.

Explanation of Correct Options:

✅A. Device types

Includes information about thehardware platform, model, and series of the device.

Example:Huawei NE40E, CE12800, or AR routers.

✅C. License

Licenses define feature capabilities, such as MPLS, BGP, or security functions.

Licenses arestatic parametersbecause they do not change unless manually updated.

Incorrect Options:

❌B. Interface types

Interface types (GigabitEthernet, FastEthernet, Serial, etc.)can changedepending on hardware or software configurations.

They arenot staticbecause interfaces can beadded or removed dynamically.

❌D. Packet loss rate

Packet loss rate is a dynamic parameter, as it varies depending on network conditions, congestion, or faults.

It is used inperformance monitoringrather than static data collection.
