Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A network operator expects clients to derive SLAAC addresses but disables IPv6 Router Advertisement on the VLAN interface. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Capture RA packets and inspect prefix options, A/M/O flags and client IPv6 address state. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Enable the intended IPv6 Router Advertisements with correct prefix information and flags for the supported addressing mode. Successful verification is: Clients form valid global addresses and default-router entries for the authorized prefix.
Inspect vpn-instance bindings, per-instance routing tables and cross-instance route-policy. This check would diagnose VRF route isolation, but would not first isolate the described IPv6 SLAAC router advertisement. Begin with: Capture RA packets and inspect prefix options, A/M/O flags and client IPv6 address state.
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 IPv6 SLAAC router advertisement. Begin with: Capture RA packets and inspect prefix options, A/M/O flags and client IPv6 address state.
Inspect IPv6 neighbor cache, NS/NA packets, ICMPv6 policy and link-local addresses.

A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: A campus expects DHCPv6 to provide full IPv6 addresses but its RA indicates only stateless information service. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Coordinate RA managed/other flags with supported stateful or stateless DHCPv6 server behavior. Technical basis: RA flags signal DHCPv6 usage, while SLAAC and DHCPv6 provide different addressing and configuration functions. The measurable acceptance criterion is: Test clients obtain the intended IPv6 addresses and DNS configuration without conflicting methods.
Permit required ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery and verify NS/NA resolution on the local link. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of IPv6 NDP neighbor resolution, but it does not correct the specific IPv6 DHCPv6 stateful versus stateless condition reported. The relevant technical distinction is: RA flags signal DHCPv6 usage, while SLAAC and DHCPv6 provide different addressing and configuration functions.
Choose an approved external metric type and metric policy to reflect the required exit selection. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of OSPF E1 versus E2 external metric, but it does not correct the specific IPv6 DHCPv6 stateful versus stateless condition reported.
