Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A service provider adds a new VRF but binds one customer subinterface to the default routing table accidentally. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect vpn-instance bindings, per-instance routing tables and cross-instance route-policy. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change.
