Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A campus filters all ICMPv6 and IPv6 clients fail to resolve the router MAC even when the global prefix and routing table are valid. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect IPv6 neighbor cache, NS/NA packets, ICMPv6 policy and link-local addresses. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Permit required ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery and verify NS/NA resolution on the local link. Successful verification is: The host learns a valid neighbor-cache entry and reaches its IPv6 gateway.
Inspect IKE negotiation logs, IPsec SA status, peer identity and proxy selectors. This check would diagnose IPsec peer proposal compatibility, but would not first isolate the described IPv6 NDP neighbor resolution. Begin with: Inspect IPv6 neighbor cache, NS/NA packets, ICMPv6 policy and link-local addresses.

This check would diagnose Source NAT for outbound clients, but would not first isolate the described IPv6 NDP neighbor resolution. Begin with: Inspect IPv6 neighbor cache, NS/NA packets, ICMPv6 policy and link-local addresses.
Capture RA packets and inspect prefix options, A/M/O flags and client IPv6 address state. This check would diagnose IPv6 SLAAC router advertisement, but would not first isolate the described IPv6 NDP neighbor resolution. Begin with: Inspect IPv6 neighbor cache, NS/NA packets, ICMPv6 policy and link-local addresses.
A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: A workstation generates only a link-local IPv6 address because the access router never advertises its authorized global prefix. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Enable the intended IPv6 Router Advertisements with correct prefix information and flags for the supported addressing mode. Technical basis: SLAAC uses ICMPv6 Router Advertisements and prefix flags to support autonomous address configuration. The measurable acceptance criterion is: Clients form valid global addresses and default-router entries for the authorized prefix.
Configure the actual authorized remote AS consistently with the peer's BGP OPEN identity. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of BGP peer autonomous-system mismatch, but it does not correct the specific IPv6 SLAAC router advertisement condition reported.
