Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A WAN service ACL is correct in content but applied outbound where the intended packets enter the interface. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect ACL rule numbers, match counts, attachment direction and permitted/denied test flows. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Use an ordered narrow ACL with the correct interface and traffic direction for the required filter. Successful verification is: The restricted destination is denied and authorized comparison traffic succeeds in a controlled test.
Check route tags, source protocol, import-route statements and re-advertisement history. This check would diagnose Redistribution route tag loop avoidance, but would not first isolate the described ACL packet filter rule order and direction. Begin with: Inspect ACL rule numbers, match counts, attachment direction and permitted/denied test flows.
Check PBR next hop, track state, route resolution and tested failure behavior. This check would diagnose PBR failed-next-hop fallback, but would not first isolate the described ACL packet filter rule order and direction. Begin with: Inspect ACL rule numbers, match counts, attachment direction and permitted/denied test flows.
Inspect session NAT fields, original and translated addresses, egress interface and upstream replies. This check would diagnose Source NAT for outbound clients, but would not first isolate the described ACL packet filter rule order and direction. Begin with: Inspect ACL rule numbers, match counts, attachment direction and permitted/denied test flows.
A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: A new low-cost access switch unexpectedly becomes the RSTP root, sending campus traffic through an oversubscribed uplink. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Set reviewed RSTP bridge priorities so an appropriate resilient core device remains root. Technical basis: RSTP selects a root bridge using bridge IDs and calculates loop-free port roles relative to that root. The measurable acceptance criterion is: Root-port selection and link topology match the designed forwarding tree without a Layer 2 loop.
Restore consistent MST region definitions or explicitly design a safe boundary between distinct regions. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of MSTP region mismatch on trunks, but it does not correct the specific RSTP root bridge location condition reported.
