Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A backup firewall has an incorrect pre-shared key or incompatible IPsec tunnel selectors during disaster recovery. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect IKE negotiation logs, IPsec SA status, peer identity and proxy selectors. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Align supported IKE/IPsec proposals, authentication credentials, and protected traffic selectors on both authorized ends. Successful verification is: The intended security associations establish and permitted tunnel traffic traverses encrypted.

This check would diagnose Source NAT for outbound clients, but would not first isolate the described IPsec peer proposal compatibility. Begin with: Inspect IKE negotiation logs, IPsec SA status, peer identity and proxy selectors.

This check would diagnose IS-IS L1 default to nearest attached L1L2, but would not first isolate the described IPsec peer proposal compatibility. Begin with: Inspect IKE negotiation logs, IPsec SA status, peer identity and proxy selectors.

A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: A switch exposes its management service using shared Telnet credentials despite policy requiring encrypted authenticated administration. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Use secured SSH/AAA with individually authorized least-privilege accounts and restricted management paths.
