Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: An SSM topology has an IGMPv3 (S,G) subscription but the selected unicast path to S points at the wrong uplink. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Compare (S,G) membership, source route, upstream PIM neighbor and RPF outcome. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Build a supported source-rooted multicast path using IGMPv3 source membership and PIM RPF toward S. Successful verification is: The receiver joins exactly the authorized source and the distribution tree needs no RP for SSM.
Inspect multicast route incoming interface, unicast route toward source, and RPF fail counters. This check would diagnose Multicast reverse-path forwarding, but would not first isolate the described Multicast SSM and RPF source path. Begin with: Compare (S,G) membership, source route, upstream PIM neighbor and RPF outcome.
Compare MST configuration digests, VLAN maps, revisions and CIST boundary state. This check would diagnose MSTP VLAN-to-instance mapping, but would not first isolate the described Multicast SSM and RPF source path. Begin with: Compare (S,G) membership, source route, upstream PIM neighbor and RPF outcome.
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 Multicast SSM and RPF source path. Begin with: Compare (S,G) membership, source route, upstream PIM neighbor and RPF outcome.
A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: An IPv6 host has a configured default gateway but cannot obtain a neighbor link-layer address because Neighbor Solicitation is blocked. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Permit required ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery and verify NS/NA resolution on the local link. Technical basis: IPv6 NDP uses ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation and Advertisement instead of ARP to resolve neighbors. The measurable acceptance criterion is: The host learns a valid neighbor-cache entry and reaches its IPv6 gateway.
Coordinate RA managed/other flags with supported stateful or stateless DHCPv6 server behavior. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of IPv6 DHCPv6 stateful versus stateless, but it does not correct the specific IPv6 NDP neighbor resolution condition reported. The relevant technical distinction is: IPv6 NDP uses ICMPv6 Neighbor Solicitation and Advertisement instead of ARP to resolve neighbors.
