Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A service is permitted by a network ACL but denied by a stateful security policy after its connection tracking state expires. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect firewall session table, policy hits, SYN exchange and connection timeout behavior. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Verify the permitted stateful policy and session establishment rather than opening unrestricted inbound rules. Successful verification is: An established approved TCP exchange succeeds while unsolicited inbound attempts remain denied.
Inspect session NAT fields, original and translated addresses, egress interface and upstream replies. This check would diagnose Source NAT for outbound clients, but would not first isolate the described Stateful firewall session inspection. Begin with: Inspect firewall session table, policy hits, SYN exchange and connection timeout behavior.
Inspect tracked uplinks, priority changes, VRRP master transition and end-to-end reachability. This check would diagnose VRRP uplink tracking and priority decrement, but would not first isolate the described Stateful firewall session inspection. Begin with: Inspect firewall session table, policy hits, SYN exchange and connection timeout behavior.
Inspect interface-to-zone mapping, session tuple, policy match and deny logs. This check would diagnose Firewall security-zone policy, but would not first isolate the described Stateful firewall session inspection.

A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: A new service VLAN is assigned to a trusted-looking interface but its firewall zone is wrong, so permitted application traffic is denied. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
