Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A redundant campus gateway tracks only LAN interface state and never relinquishes mastership after the data-center path fails. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect tracked uplinks, priority changes, VRRP master transition and end-to-end reachability. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Configure supported VRRP uplink or route tracking with appropriate priority reduction and failover tests. Successful verification is: Loss of the preferred uplink transfers VRRP mastership to the gateway with working upstream reachability.
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 uplink tracking and priority decrement. Begin with: Inspect tracked uplinks, priority changes, VRRP master transition and end-to-end reachability.
Inspect BFD state, discriminator pairing, detection time, route tracking and failover timing. This check would diagnose BFD fast failure detection tied to route, but would not first isolate the described VRRP uplink tracking and priority decrement. Begin with: Inspect tracked uplinks, priority changes, VRRP master transition and end-to-end reachability.
Inspect IPv6 neighbor cache, NS/NA packets, ICMPv6 policy and link-local addresses.

A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: A repaired high-priority router immediately reclaims VRRP mastership during service recovery, disrupting fragile client sessions. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Use an approved VRRP preemption or delay setting that matches stable maintenance and recovery goals.

The measurable acceptance criterion is: Recovery does not cause unplanned master changes and later authorized failback succeeds predictably.
Bind a supported BFD session to the intended routing or next-hop tracking behavior and validate failover.
