Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A maintenance account receives unrestricted Huawei system-view access when only a read-only diagnostic role is needed. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect VTY transport modes, AAA user roles, ACL restrictions and login records. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Use secured SSH/AAA with individually authorized least-privilege accounts and restricted management paths. Successful verification is: Approved operators log in with accountable roles while unauthorized commands and Telnet access fail.
Inspect roaming history, AC mobility peers, station IP before and after move and voice packet loss. This check would diagnose Campus WLAN layer-3 roaming, but would not first isolate the described Device management AAA and SSH security. Begin with: Inspect VTY transport modes, AAA user roles, ACL restrictions and login records.
Inspect vpn-instance bindings, per-instance routing tables and cross-instance route-policy. This check would diagnose VRF route isolation, but would not first isolate the described Device management AAA and SSH security. Begin with: Inspect VTY transport modes, AAA user roles, ACL restrictions and login records.

A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: An ACL intended to deny one sensitive /24 uses a wildcard mask that matches the entire /16, blocking unrelated services. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Correct the Huawei ACL wildcard address scope and rule sequence using explicit positive and negative tests. Technical basis: ACL wildcard masks and ordered rule evaluation determine which packets a filtering policy matches. The measurable acceptance criterion is: Only intended source-destination combinations match the deny while permitted subnets stay available.
