Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A new Huawei multicast router lacks the configured static RP for the group range and sends joins toward the wrong core. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect group-to-RP mapping, PIM neighbor state and (*,G) incoming interface. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Align supported RP discovery or static RP assignments for matching multicast groups across the domain. Successful verification is: Shared-tree join state points to the intended RP and authorized receiver groups obtain the source stream.
Inspect port roles, proposal/agreement exchanges, physical link state and failover logs. This check would diagnose RSTP alternate port failover, but would not first isolate the described PIM-SM rendezvous-point mismatch. Begin with: Inspect group-to-RP mapping, PIM neighbor state and (*,G) incoming interface.
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 PIM-SM rendezvous-point mismatch. Begin with: Inspect group-to-RP mapping, PIM neighbor state and (*,G) incoming interface.
Inspect (*,G) and (S,G) state, SPT flags, source RPF and join/prune counters. This check would diagnose PIM-SM RPT to SPT switchover, but would not first isolate the described PIM-SM rendezvous-point mismatch. Begin with: Inspect group-to-RP mapping, PIM neighbor state and (*,G) incoming interface.
A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: A new multicast source starts transmitting but its first-hop PIM-SM DR never registers source traffic with the RP. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Restore the approved first-hop PIM DR and source Register path toward the RP. Technical basis: In PIM-SM ASM, a first-hop designated router registers a newly active multicast source with the RP. The measurable acceptance criterion is: The RP learns the new source and downstream receivers obtain traffic after registration.
Restore the supported IGMP querier and membership timers on the receiver-facing L3 segment.
