Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: An operations team leaks every Level-2 route into a small Level-1 access area, exceeding the intended routing scale. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect import policy, level-specific LSP advertisements and the Level-1 route table. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Apply a narrow supported Level-2-to-Level-1 route-leak policy only for authorized service prefixes. Successful verification is: The Level-1 area learns its required specifics while unrelated Level-2 routes stay outside its LSDB.
Inspect IS-IS NETs, area IDs, level capabilities and Hello authentication on both interfaces. This check would diagnose IS-IS level-1 area adjacency, but would not first isolate the described IS-IS selective L2-to-L1 route leaking. Begin with: Inspect import policy, level-specific LSP advertisements and the Level-1 route table.
Check attached bits in LSPs, candidate L1/L2 routes and default forwarding behavior. This check would diagnose IS-IS L1 default to nearest attached L1L2, but would not first isolate the described IS-IS selective L2-to-L1 route leaking. Begin with: Inspect import policy, level-specific LSP advertisements and the Level-1 route table.
Capture RA packets and inspect prefix options, A/M/O flags and client IPv6 address state. This check would diagnose IPv6 SLAAC router advertisement, but would not first isolate the described IS-IS selective L2-to-L1 route leaking. Begin with: Inspect import policy, level-specific LSP advertisements and the Level-1 route table.
A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: Two adjacent AS border routers have matching peering addresses but an upstream ACL blocks TCP port 179, leaving BGP Idle. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?

Technical basis: BGP exchanges routing control messages over an established TCP transport connection. The measurable acceptance criterion is: TCP 179 establishes to the configured peer and BGP progresses toward Established.
Set reviewed LOCAL_PREF values for the intended egress and confirm internal propagation. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of BGP local preference internal egress, but it does not correct the specific BGP TCP reachability and port condition reported.
