Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: An engineer enables a DHCPv6 server for DNS settings yet unintentionally removes the SLAAC autonomous address flag needed by clients. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect RA M/O flags, prefix A bit, DHCPv6 messages and client address assignment. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Coordinate RA managed/other flags with supported stateful or stateless DHCPv6 server behavior. Successful verification is: Test clients obtain the intended IPv6 addresses and DNS configuration without conflicting methods.
Compare (S,G) membership, source route, upstream PIM neighbor and RPF outcome. This check would diagnose Multicast SSM and RPF source path, but would not first isolate the described IPv6 DHCPv6 stateful versus stateless. Begin with: Inspect RA M/O flags, prefix A bit, DHCPv6 messages and client address assignment.
Inspect IPv6 neighbor cache, NS/NA packets, ICMPv6 policy and link-local addresses. This check would diagnose IPv6 NDP neighbor resolution, but would not first isolate the described IPv6 DHCPv6 stateful versus stateless. Begin with: Inspect RA M/O flags, prefix A bit, DHCPv6 messages and client address assignment.
Inspect the Huawei IP routing table, FIB entries, adjacency resolution and a test flow. This check would diagnose RIB-to-FIB forwarding discrepancy, but would not first isolate the described IPv6 DHCPv6 stateful versus stateless. Begin with: Inspect RA M/O flags, prefix A bit, DHCPv6 messages and client address assignment.
A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: An inbound reply to an approved outbound TCP connection is blocked because the firewall lacks a valid matching session entry. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Verify the permitted stateful policy and session establishment rather than opening unrestricted inbound rules. Technical basis: Stateful firewalls evaluate packet direction and established session state in addition to configured security rules. The measurable acceptance criterion is: An established approved TCP exchange succeeds while unsolicited inbound attempts remain denied.
Enforce a narrow allowlist with explicit unauthorized-flow denial at the firewall policy boundary. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of Default-deny network segmentation, but it does not correct the specific Stateful firewall session inspection condition reported.
