Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A campus VRRP group is configured with a virtual address outside the user subnet, causing default-gateway ARP failures. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect VRRP virtual address, interface subnet, virtual MAC ownership and host gateway configuration. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Configure a valid shared VRRP virtual gateway in the client subnet and set hosts to use it. Successful verification is: Clients resolve the virtual gateway and maintain routed connectivity when master ownership transfers.
Inspect ACL address-mask bits, rule numbers, counters and packet trace. This check would diagnose ACL wildcard and rule sequence, but would not first isolate the described VRRP virtual gateway and ownership. Begin with: Inspect VRRP virtual address, interface subnet, virtual MAC ownership and host gateway configuration.

This check would diagnose VRRP priority and intended master, but would not first isolate the described VRRP virtual gateway and ownership. Begin with: Inspect VRRP virtual address, interface subnet, virtual MAC ownership and host gateway configuration.

A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: A backup gateway with an unexpectedly higher VRRP priority becomes master, sending traffic through an underpowered router. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
