Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A branch receives two routes to a subnet and applies administrative preference before checking which prefix matches the actual destination. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Compare destination address, prefix lengths, active candidate routes and the FIB lookup. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Select the longest matching destination prefix first, and compare route preference among eligible routes for the same prefix. Successful verification is: Forwarding to a host inside the /25 follows the specific route while other addresses use the appropriate less-specific entry.
Trace protocol origin, import rules, tags, preferences and repeated route updates. This check would diagnose Route import feedback loop, but would not first isolate the described Longest-prefix and route preference. Begin with: Compare destination address, prefix lengths, active candidate routes and the FIB lookup.

This check would diagnose BGP route reflector cluster loop prevention, but would not first isolate the described Longest-prefix and route preference. Begin with: Compare destination address, prefix lengths, active candidate routes and the FIB lookup.
Compare OSPF router IDs, neighbor tables and LSA advertising-router fields. This check would diagnose OSPF duplicate router IDs, but would not first isolate the described Longest-prefix and route preference. Begin with: Compare destination address, prefix lengths, active candidate routes and the FIB lookup.
A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: Two OSPF routers in the same area share a manually configured router ID after a VM image was cloned, producing unstable neighbor reports. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Assign a distinct stable OSPF router ID to each device and restart the affected process under change control.
