H12-893_V1.0 Exam Dumps - HCIP-Data Center Network V1.0

Reliability in Huawei’s CloudFabric data centers is enhanced through various mechanisms. Let’s evaluate each option:

A. Power supply redundancy:This is true. Redundant power supplies (e.g., dual PSUs) ensure uninterrupted operation during power failures, a key reliability feature.TRUE.

B. M-LAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation):This is true. M-LAG provides high availability by allowing active-active forwarding and failover between switches, enhancing network reliability.TRUE.

C. Monitor Link:This is false. Monitor Link is a Huawei feature for link status monitoring, not a direct reliability enhancement mechanism like redundancy or clustering.FALSE.

D. Controller cluster:This is true. A clustered SDN controller (e.g., iMaster NCE-Fabric) ensures high availability and failover, improving network management reliability.TRUE.

Thus,A, B, and Denhance DC reliability.References:Huawei CloudFabric Data Center Network Solution – Reliability Features; HCIP-Data Center Network Training – High Availability.

In Huawei’s CloudFabric Solution, iMaster NCE-Fabric automates overlay network (e.g., VXLAN) configuration, while the underlay network is manually deployed. Tenant hosts failing to access external networks indicate a connectivity issue, likely at the overlay-underlay boundary or security layer. Let’s evaluate each option as a possible cause:

A. No return route is configured on the PE:This is a possible cause. The Provider Edge (PE) device (e.g., border leaf or router) must have a return route to the tenant’s VXLAN network for external access. Without it, traffic from external networks cannot reach the DC.POSSIBLE CAUSE.

B. The engineer did not check whether the service loopback interface needs to be configured on the VXLAN network based on the switch model:This is a possible cause. Some Huawei switch models (e.g., CE series) require a service loopback interface as the VTEP source IP. If omitted or misconfigured based on the model, external connectivity fails.POSSIBLE CAUSE.

C. No firewall security policy is configured when host traffic passes through the firewall:This is a possible cause. If a firewall is in the path (e.g., between tenant VPC and external network), a missing security policy (e.g., allowing outbound traffic) blocks access.POSSIBLE CAUSE.

D. The MAC address of the NVE interface on the VXLAN network is not manually specified:This is not a possible cause. The Network Virtualization Edge (NVE) interface in VXLAN does not require a manually specified MAC address; it uses the switch’s system MAC or auto-generates one. iMaster NCE-Fabric typically handles this automatically, and manual specification is neither required nor a common fault point for external access issues.NOT A POSSIBLE CAUSE.

Thus,Dis not a possible cause of the fault.References:Huawei CloudFabric Data Center Network Solution – Troubleshooting Guide; HCIP-Data Center Network Training – VXLAN Connectivity.

iMaster NCE-Fabric automates network configuration delivery in Huawei’s CloudFabric. Let’s evaluate each statement:

A. Logical switches are mainly used for Layer 3 communication between hosts on a VXLAN network. These switches correspond to Layer 3 gateway configurations such as VBDIF interface and VPN instance configurations on physical devices:This is false. Logical switches in iMaster NCE-Fabric primarily handle Layer 2 communication (e.g., bridging within a VNI), corresponding to Bridge Domains (BDs) and Layer 2 VNIs. Layer 3communication is managed by gateways, not logical switches.FALSE.

B. An end port represents an online host. It corresponds to the traffic encapsulation type (whether a VLAN tag is carried) configured on a Layer 2 sub-interface of a physical device:This is true. End ports map to host connections, with encapsulation (VLAN-tagged or untagged) configured on sub-interfaces.TRUE.

C. A logical port is equivalent to an independent physical port that is used by a host to connect to a VXLAN network. It corresponds to the Layer 2 sub-interface configuration on a physical device:This is true. Logical ports represent host connections, mapped to Layer 2 sub-interfaces for VXLAN access.TRUE.

D. Logical switches are mainly used for Layer 2 communication between hosts on a VXLAN network. These switches correspond to BD and Layer 2 VNI configurations on physical devices:This is true. Logical switches facilitate Layer 2 connectivity, aligning with BD and VNI settings.TRUE.

Thus,Ais the false statement because logical switches are for Layer 2, not Layer 3, communication.References:Huawei CloudFabric Data Center Network Solution – iMaster NCE-Fabric Configuration; HCIP-Data Center Network Training – Logical Network Mapping.

Centralized gateway deployment using BGP EVPN in Huawei’s data center networks (e.g., CloudFabric) involves a gateway handling Layer 3 routing for VXLAN overlays. Let’s evaluate each statement:

A. When configuring a VTEP, you need to create a Layer 2 BD and bind a VNI to the Layer 2 BD:A Bridge Domain (BD) is a Layer 2 broadcast domain in VXLAN, and a Virtual Network Identifier (VNI) is bound to it to segment traffic. This is a standard step when configuring a VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) to map the overlay network.TRUE.

B. A VXLAN tunnel is identified by a pair of VTEP IP addresses and can be established if the local and remote VTEP IP addresses are reachable to each other at Layer 3:VXLAN tunnels are established between VTEPs using their IP addresses as endpoints. Layer 3 reachability (e.g., via underlay routing) is required for tunnel establishment.TRUE.

C. When BGP EVPN is used to dynamically establish a VXLAN tunnel, the local and remote VTEPs first establish a BGP EVPN peer relationship and then exchange BGP EVPN routes to transmit VNI and VTEP IP address information. A VXLAN tunnel is then dynamically established between them:In BGP EVPN, VTEPs establish a BGP peer relationship, exchange routes (e.g., Type 2 for MAC/IP or Type 3 for multicast), and share VNI and VTEP IP details, enabling dynamic tunnel setup.TRUE.

D. When configuring a VTEP, you need to create an EVPN Instance in the Layer 2 BDand configure an RD for the local EVPN instance. You do not need to configure an RT:An EVPN Instance (EVI) is created within a BD, and a Route Distinguisher (RD) is configured to make routes unique. However, Route Targets (RTs) are also required to control route import/export between EVPN peers, ensuring proper VNI and route distribution. Stating that RT configuration is not needed is incorrect, as RTs are essential for BGP EVPN operation.FALSE.

Thus,Dis the false statement because RT configuration is necessary in centralized gateway deployment with BGP EVPN.References:Huawei CloudFabric Data Center Network Solution – BGP EVPN Configuration; HCIP-Data Center Network Training – EVPN Gateway Deployment.

In Huawei’s spine-leaf data center network (DCN) architecture, the topology consists of spine nodes (core) and leaf nodes (access/aggregation). Leaf nodes can serve different roles:

Border Leaf Node:Connects the DCN to external networks or other domains, handling Layer 3 routing.

Service Leaf Node:Connects to internal services (e.g., servers, VMs), often handling Layer 2/Layer 3 traffic.

In practice, a single physical device can be configured to perform both roles (border and service) if it has the necessary interfaces and routing capabilities. Huawei’s CloudFabric documentation supports this flexibility, allowing a leaf switch to act as both a border and service node based on configuration (e.g., using VRFs or VXLAN gateways). This reduces hardware costs and simplifies deployment in smaller DCNs.

The statement isTRUE (A)because the border leaf and service leaf roles can be deployed on the same device in a spine-leaf architecture.References:Huawei CloudFabric Data Center Network Solution – Spine-Leaf Design; HCIP-Data Center Network Training – Leaf Node Roles.

In Huawei’s Data Center Network (DCN) architecture, particularly with the CloudFabric solution, the spine-leaf topology is a common design for scalable and efficient data centers. VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) is used to create overlay networks, enabling large-scale multi-tenancy and flexible workload placement.

Spine Nodes’ Role:In this architecture, spine nodes act as the backbone, interconnecting leaf nodes (which connect to servers, storage, or other endpoints) and facilitating high-speed, non-blocking communication. Spine nodes typically handle Layer 3 routing and serve as VXLAN tunnel endpoints (VTEPs) or connect to devices that do, integrating the physical underlay with the VXLAN overlay network.

Connection to VXLAN:Spine nodes ensure that traffic from various network devices (via leaf nodes) is routed efficiently across the VXLAN fabric. They provide the high-bandwidth, low-latency backbone required for east-west traffic in modern data centers, supporting VXLAN encapsulation and decapsulation indirectly or directly depending on the deployment.

Thus, the statement isTRUE (A)because spine nodes play a critical role in connecting the underlay network (various devices via leaf nodes) to the VXLAN overlay, as per Huawei’s DCN design principles.References:Huawei CloudFabric Data Center Network Solution White Paper; HCIP-Data Center Network Training Materials – VXLAN and Spine-Leaf Architecture.

Huawei’s CloudFabric Solution, managed by iMaster NCE-Fabric, provides robust Operations and Maintenance (O&M) capabilities. Let’s evaluate each option:

A. Multi-path detection:This is true. CloudFabric supports multi-path detection (e.g., using ECMP) to verify load balancing and path diversity in the network.TRUE.

B. Network connectivity detection, such as IP ping and MAC ping:This is true. Tools like IP ping and MAC ping are supported for troubleshooting connectivity between devices and endpoints.TRUE.

C. Single-path detection:This is false. While multi-path detection is supported, single-path detection is not a distinct O&M function; connectivity checks typically involve multiple paths or end-to-end verification.FALSE.

D. Visualization of entries (MAC/IP) on logical routers and switches:This is true. CloudFabric provides visualization of MAC and IP entries on logical network elements, aiding in network management and troubleshooting.TRUE.

Thus,A, B, and Dare supported O&M functions.References:Huawei CloudFabric Data Center Network Solution – O&M Features; HCIP-Data Center Network Training – Network Operations.

VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) tunnels are used to encapsulate Layer 2 traffic over a Layer 3 network, a key feature in Huawei’s data center solutions. The endpoints of a VXLAN tunnel are VXLAN Tunnel Endpoints (VTEPs), identified by their IP addresses.

Tunnel Identification:A VXLAN tunnel is uniquely identified by the pair of VTEP IPaddresses (local and remote), along with the VNI (VXLAN Network Identifier). This pair ensures the tunnel is specific to the communication path between the two VTEPs.

Tunnel Establishment:During setup, VTEPs exchange information to learn each other’s IP addresses. This can occur manually (static configuration) or dynamically (e.g., via BGP EVPN). The underlay network must provide Layer 3 reachability between the VTEP IP addresses, typically using routing protocols (e.g., OSPF, BGP) to ensure IP connectivity.

Reachability Condition:If the local and remote VTEP IP addresses are reachable at Layer 3, the tunnel can be established, allowing encapsulation and decapsulation of VXLAN traffic. This is a fundamental requirement in Huawei’s VXLAN implementation.

The statement isTRUE (A)because a VXLAN tunnel’s identification and establishment depend on reachable VTEP IP address pairs at Layer 3.References:Huawei HCIP-Data Center Network Training – VXLAN Tunneling; CloudFabric VXLAN Deployment Guide.
