Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A WAN failover moves traffic to a new public interface without a matching source NAT rule for an internal user group. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect session NAT fields, original and translated addresses, egress interface and upstream replies. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Apply appropriate source NAT for the authorized internal subnet and intended external egress interface. Successful verification is: External sessions use valid translated source addresses and return packets reach the initiating clients.
Inspect the ABR LSDB for Type 3 prefixes, area ranges and inter-area filter policy. This check would diagnose OSPF type-3 inter-area summaries, but would not first isolate the described Source NAT for outbound clients. Begin with: Inspect session NAT fields, original and translated addresses, egress interface and upstream replies.
Inspect firewall session table, policy hits, SYN exchange and connection timeout behavior. This check would diagnose Stateful firewall session inspection, but would not first isolate the described Source NAT for outbound clients. Begin with: Inspect session NAT fields, original and translated addresses, egress interface and upstream replies.
Inspect VRRP group priorities, owner role, master/backup status and election logs. This check would diagnose VRRP priority and intended master, but would not first isolate the described Source NAT for outbound clients. Begin with: Inspect session NAT fields, original and translated addresses, egress interface and upstream replies.
A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: A published service has destination NAT to a private server but remains unavailable because its security policy still targets the wrong service. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Align the approved destination NAT mapping and corresponding policy with the intended public service. Technical basis: Destination NAT changes packet destination independently of the security policy that allows the service. The measurable acceptance criterion is: External clients reach the authorized translated service and unrelated ports remain denied.
Bind a supported BFD session to the intended routing or next-hop tracking behavior and validate failover. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of BFD fast failure detection tied to route, but it does not correct the specific Destination NAT and security-policy pair condition reported. The relevant technical distinction is: Destination NAT changes packet destination independently of the security policy that allows the service.

This is a legitimate response to the different issue of Default-deny network segmentation, but it does not correct the specific Destination NAT and security-policy pair condition reported.

That observation would support a separate case of Firewall security-zone policy, not verification of the reported Destination NAT and security-policy pair. The relevant observable outcome here is: External clients reach the authorized translated service and unrelated ports remain denied.
