Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: An interconnect policy exports every locally originated route when only two public aggregate prefixes are approved. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Review advertised-route output, prefix-list matches and outbound route-policy order. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Apply an explicit allowlist of authorized public prefixes with a default deny export policy. Successful verification is: Only the approved external advertisements appear on the peer and internal prefixes remain private.
Inspect matching rule, applied attributes, selected route and resolved FIB next hop. This check would diagnose Route-policy next-hop and preference application, but would not first isolate the described BGP prefix export-filter leak. Begin with: Review advertised-route output, prefix-list matches and outbound route-policy order.
Inspect AFI/SAFI negotiation, peer AF activation and received EVPN routes. This check would diagnose MP-BGP address-family activation, but would not first isolate the described BGP prefix export-filter leak. Begin with: Review advertised-route output, prefix-list matches and outbound route-policy order.
Inspect rejected UPDATE attributes, local AS number and AS_PATH on each advertised prefix. This check would diagnose BGP AS_PATH loop detection, but would not first isolate the described BGP prefix export-filter leak. Begin with: Review advertised-route output, prefix-list matches and outbound route-policy order.
A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: A provider edge announces many component subnets although one reviewed aggregate should cover the advertised customer block. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Create a controlled BGP aggregate with valid components and safe discard or exception handling. Technical basis: BGP aggregation reduces advertised prefix count but must preserve valid forwarding for component destinations. The measurable acceptance criterion is: The peer sees the approved aggregate and every allocated component remains reachable under tested failures.
