Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A dual-AC design registers APs to the primary but has not configured or tested the intended secondary authorization and failover. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect AC backup lists, AP primary and secondary registrations and test failover timing. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Establish a supported AC redundancy and AP failover design and test controller loss. Successful verification is: APs recover management from the backup AC and retain approved WLAN service within recovery objectives.
Inspect SNMP version, users, security level, access views, manager ACL and polling errors. This check would diagnose SNMPv3 secure network monitoring, but would not first isolate the described WLAN AC high availability. Begin with: Inspect AC backup lists, AP primary and secondary registrations and test failover timing.

This check would diagnose WLAN AC and Fit AP CAPWAP, but would not first isolate the described WLAN AC high availability. Begin with: Inspect AC backup lists, AP primary and secondary registrations and test failover timing.
