H19-404_V1.0 Sample Questions Answers

All four options represent objectives of a next-generation advanced industrial network. IP-based connections establish a standardized communications foundation, allowing production systems, controllers, sensors, machines, and management platforms to communicate through scalable Ethernet and IP technologies instead of isolated proprietary field networks.

Networked devices extend connectivity across operational technology assets so that equipment status, production data, and control information can be shared across production lines, plants, data centers, and cloud platforms. Network intelligence introduces automated provisioning, telemetry, analytics, fault prediction, policy optimization, and closed-loop operations. These capabilities reduce manual configuration and improve production availability.

Network-security integration is equally essential because greater openness and interconnection increase the potential attack surface. Security must therefore be integrated into access control, segmentation, device identification, encrypted communication, anomaly detection, and policy enforcement rather than added as an isolated external system. Huawei’s broader CloudCampus architecture similarly emphasizes automated provisioning, intelligent O & M, secure interconnection, integrated wired and wireless management, and open network capabilities. The four objectives collectively create an open, connected, intelligent, and secure industrial communications architecture.

==================

The statement is true as a WLAN design recommendation. Inter-WAC roaming is supported, but it introduces more control-plane interaction and forwarding complexity than intra-WAC roaming. The Home WAC and Foreign WAC must belong to the same mobility group, synchronize station and AP information, and establish an inter-WAC CAPWAP tunnel for control information and, in some scenarios, service forwarding.

Additional synchronization, tunnel processing, route handling, and failure dependencies can increase roaming delay and complicate troubleshooting. This is especially relevant for delay-sensitive applications such as voice, video, automated guided vehicles, and real-time production systems. A better design places APs between which users frequently move under the same WAC wherever controller capacity and physical topology permit.

Avoiding inter-WAC roaming does not mean disabling the function entirely. Large campuses may require multiple WACs for scale, redundancy, or geographic distribution. Mobility groups should still be configured for unavoidable cross-controller movement. However, buildings, floors, and continuous roaming areas should be assigned carefully so that normal roaming remains intra-WAC. Therefore, the recommendation in the statement is correct, and the answer is True.

==================

Enabling the GRE checksum is optional. A functional point-to-point GRE tunnel requires a tunnel interface, GRE as the tunnel protocol, and reachable source and destination tunnel endpoints. The source identifies the local interface or IP address used to construct the delivery header, while the destination identifies the remote GRE endpoint. Without these endpoint parameters, the device cannot correctly encapsulate and deliver packets to the peer.

The checksum field is controlled by the Checksum Present bit in the GRE header. When checksum processing is enabled, the sender includes a checksum covering the GRE header and payload, and the receiver verifies it. This can provide additional corruption detection, but it increases processing and is not required for basic GRE operation. RFC 2784 explicitly labels the checksum field as optional and states that it is present only when the Checksum Present bit is set.

Huawei SD-WAN uses GRE or GRE over IPsec to establish data channels between edge devices. The essential tunnel and transport-network information is distributed through the control system, while optional GRE functions such as checksum validation may be enabled according to operational requirements.

==================

A terminal-type survey primarily determines the appropriate network admission control solution. Different terminal categories have different authentication capabilities and security requirements. Corporate laptops may support 802.1X authentication, guests may require Portal authentication, and printers, cameras, sensors, and other dumb terminals commonly require MAC-address authentication or automatic terminal identification.

Huawei recommends selecting authentication technologies according to the terminal type and usage scenario. For example, access switches can serve as authentication points for wired dumb terminals, while APs or other access devices can perform authentication for wireless users. After terminal identification is enabled, iMaster NCE-Campus can automatically assign VLANs, ACLs, security groups, QoS parameters, and other authorization policies according to terminal category.

The survey therefore establishes which endpoints support interactive authentication, which require non-interactive admission, and which must receive special isolation or compliance policies. It does not independently determine the complete physical network architecture or the overall O & M platform. Consequently, the terminal survey is used to formulate the network admission control solution, making option C correct.

==================

The AR5710-S8T1XWE-NRGL supports all four listed 5G-Advanced capabilities. Support for 3GPP Release 16 enables enhanced 5G New Radio functions and provides the standards foundation for improved mobile-WAN capacity, reliability, and service performance.

Carrier aggregation combines multiple component carriers to increase available throughput. Downlink 3CC allows three component carriers to be aggregated for received traffic, while uplink 2CC combines two carriers for transmitted traffic. This is valuable for high-bandwidth branch access, video backhaul, and mobile private-network scenarios.

Support for eight APNs permits multiple logically separated mobile services or provider profiles to be configured. Different APNs can represent enterprise services, management traffic, production systems, backup connectivity, or isolated customer networks. Global-frequency-band support improves deployment flexibility across countries and carrier networks, subject to local spectrum regulation and the supported modem variant.

Huawei SD-WAN can use 5G as a primary, secondary, or bypass link and supports combinations such as dual 5G and 5G plus wired connectivity for service assurance. Therefore, NR Release 16, carrier aggregation, eight APNs, and global frequency bands are all supported.

==================

Option B is false because a station retains its original IP address during Layer 3 roaming. Preserving the IP address is essential for maintaining active application sessions when the station moves between APs associated with different service VLANs, Layer 2 domains, and gateways. Huawei’s training diagram shows the same station IP address before and after roaming, while the service VLAN changes.

When the STA initially accesses the WLAN, a Home AP or HAP is selected for it. After the STA roams to a Foreign AP, the new AP obtains the station information and establishes the required forwarding relationship with the HAP. In direct-forwarding implementations, the STA’s traffic is encapsulated and forwarded to the HAP, which preserves access through the original network and gateway.

Therefore, A and C accurately describe HAP-based Layer 3 roaming. Option D is also correct: the APs use the same SSID and authentication mode but different service VLANs. The station’s IP address does not change, so B is the false statement.

==================

Authentication points should generally be placed on access devices close to the terminals. For wireless users, the AP or WLAN access device is the natural admission point because it directly controls the station’s wireless association and service access. For wired users, the access switch directly connects the endpoint and can enforce 802.1X, MAC-address authentication, VLAN authorization, ACLs, and security-group policies.

Huawei recommends access devices as authentication points for employees and specifically recommends access switches as authentication points for wired dumb terminals using MAC-address authentication. Deploying enforcement close to endpoints prevents unauthenticated or unauthorized traffic from traversing deeper into the campus network. It also improves fault isolation, policy granularity, and scalability because admission processing is distributed across access devices.

Option A is incorrect. A centralized authentication point can simplify configuration and policy management, but it does not inherently provide higher performance. It can create concentrated processing pressure, enlarge the Layer 2 scope, and allow unauthenticated traffic to travel farther before being evaluated. Therefore, the recommended principles are represented by B, C, and D.

==================

AR routers support registration query center–based deployment, email-based deployment, and DHCP Option 148–based deployment. In registration query center deployment, the router obtains basic network connectivity, resolves or contacts Huawei’s registration service, retrieves the address and port of iMaster NCE, and then initiates registration. Huawei identifies AR routers, firewalls, switches, and APs as applicable devices for this method.

Email-based deployment is a major SD-WAN ZTP method for AR routers operating as CPEs. An administrator creates the site and ZTP configuration on iMaster NCE and sends a deployment URL to the onsite engineer. After the URL is opened and the parameters are written to the router, the device connects to the WAN and automatically registers with the controller.

DHCP Option 148 can provide the controller’s southbound IP address and port number to an IPv4 AR router, enabling automatic registration. Barcode scanning through the CloudCampus APP is specifically presented as an AP onboarding method, not an AR-router deployment method. Therefore, A, C, and D are correct.

SM4 is the supported SM-series cryptographic algorithm intended by this question. SM4 is a standardized symmetric block cipher that uses a 128-bit block size and a 128-bit key. It is suitable for high-volume data encryption because symmetric cryptography can process service traffic efficiently compared with public-key algorithms.

Within an SD-WAN or IPsec context, the bulk traffic carried through secure data channels requires a symmetric encryption algorithm. SM4 can therefore be used as the encryption component of an approved cryptographic suite where compliance with Chinese commercial cryptography requirements is necessary.

SM2 is an asymmetric public-key cryptographic suite used for functions such as digital signatures, key exchange, and public-key encryption. It is not the bulk data-encryption algorithm requested in this item. SM1 is a restricted proprietary algorithm whose implementation details are not publicly standardized in the same manner, while SM5 is not the supported option represented by the Huawei course question.

Huawei’s SD-WAN architecture uses IPsec to protect site-to-site services and supports secure GRE-over-IPsec data channels between edge devices. In the SM-series selection presented here, the correct supported traffic-encryption algorithm is SM4.

==================

The statement is false. An MPLS label stack is an ordered sequence of label-stack entries, with the top label processed first and the bottom identified by the Bottom-of-Stack bit. However, the MPLS architecture does not define a universal maximum of three nested labels. An MPLS forwarding operation may replace the top label, remove it, or push one or more additional labels onto the stack.

Practical label depth is constrained by device implementation, forwarding ASIC capabilities, packet size, and the number of network functions being encoded. A conventional MPLS VPN may use two labels: a transport label and a VPN label. More advanced deployments can add labels for traffic engineering, segment routing, entropy, service chaining, or hierarchical transport. This can produce stacks deeper than three entries.

Therefore, “three layers” may describe a limitation of a particular platform, software version, or deployment design, but it is not an MPLS protocol maximum. RFC 3032 defines the stack as a sequence of four-byte entries and explicitly allows one or more entries to be pushed without specifying a three-label ceiling.

==================

After identifying a terminal, iMaster NCE-Campus can use the identification result for security monitoring, visibility, and policy automation. Spoofing detection is supported because the platform can compare a terminal’s current type and traffic behavior with its previously identified characteristics. For example, if a device originally identified as an IP phone suddenly behaves like a PC, the system can generate a spoofing alarm or apply an isolation policy.

Terminal identification also supports statistics and reporting by vendor, operating system, device category, access port, and policy status. Huawei explicitly describes terminal-type statistics, report export, and visibility of access policies.

In addition, iMaster NCE-Campus can automatically deliver VLAN, security-group, QoS, authentication, and access-permission policies according to the identified terminal type. Option B is incorrect because wired authentication is an admission process, not a service produced after terminal identification. Therefore, A, C, and D are correct.

==================

iMaster NCE-Campus primarily improves the operations and maintenance experience in this solution. It provides centralized planning, deployment, configuration, policy orchestration, monitoring, topology management, device management, alarm handling, and maintenance through a unified graphical interface.

Instead of configuring each switch, AP, WAC, firewall, or router separately, administrators can define services and policies centrally and deliver them across the network. Huawei states that iMaster NCE-Campus provides integrated LAN and WAN management, integrated deployment, integrated policies, and integrated O & M, thereby improving deployment and O & M efficiency. It also provides network monitoring, service alarms, file management, log management, device maintenance, user management, and virtual-network management from one platform.

Wireless, wired, and application experience analysis is more directly associated with iMaster NCE-CampusInsight, which uses telemetry, AI, protocol tracing, and predictive analysis to quantify user and application experience. iMaster NCE-Campus serves as the management and control platform that simplifies administrators’ daily work. Therefore, the experience specifically improved by iMaster NCE-Campus is the O & M experience, making option C correct.

==================

AFI 1 with SAFI 74 is the correct combination. In Multiprotocol BGP, the Address Family Identifier defines the basic network-layer address family, while the Subsequent Address Family Identifier specifies how the associated NLRI is interpreted. AFI 1 represents IPv4. SAFI 74 is assigned for SD-WAN capabilities and is used to distribute information required for SD-WAN edge discovery and tunnel establishment, including transport and encapsulation-related attributes.

The other combinations represent different forms of reachability information. AFI 1/SAFI 1 is ordinary IPv4 unicast NLRI. AFI 1/SAFI 2 represents IPv4 multicast reachability. AFI 25 represents Layer 2 VPN information, while SAFI 70 represents Ethernet VPN routes; that combination is associated with EVPN rather than the specific SD-WAN capability NLRI requested.

Huawei’s architecture uses BGP-based control channels to exchange transport network port information, IPsec security-association information, and service routes. These parameters allow edge devices to determine peer endpoints and create GRE or GRE-over-IPsec data channels after the relevant service routes trigger tunnel establishment.

==================

Huawei SD-WAN provides all four technologies. Per-flow load balancing distributes separate application flows among multiple links that have the same priority and satisfy the required SLA. Per-packet load balancing can transmit packets from one flow across multiple eligible links, improving aggregate bandwidth utilization for large file transfers, backups, and replication.

Multi-fed and selective receiving duplicates critical traffic across different links. The receiving device selects valid packets, removes duplicates, and preserves packet order. Packet loss or failure on one path therefore does not interrupt the service, enabling zero-millisecond link switchover in applicable deployments.

A-FEC dynamically generates redundant packets and adjusts the redundancy ratio according to measured packet loss. The receiving device reconstructs lost packets, reducing video freezing and voice-quality deterioration. Huawei describes both adaptive FEC and multi-fed selective receiving as WAN-optimization mechanisms for key traffic.

Intelligent traffic steering selects links according to application identity, quality, bandwidth, priority, and load. Therefore, A, B, C, and D are all correct.

==================

GRE is a multiprotocol encapsulation mechanism and can carry all the listed packet types. It inserts a GRE header around the original payload and then places the resulting GRE packet inside a delivery-protocol packet. Because the GRE header contains a Protocol Type field identifying the encapsulated payload, GRE is not restricted to ordinary IPv4 unicast traffic.

IPv6 packets can be transported as GRE payloads when supported by the tunnel endpoints. IP unicast traffic is the most common use case. GRE can also carry IP multicast and broadcast packets, which is one of its major advantages over basic IPsec tunnel selectors that traditionally focus on IP unicast traffic. This enables routing protocols, multicast applications, discovery traffic, and other non-unicast services to operate across a logical point-to-point tunnel.

RFC 2784 defines GRE as a general mechanism for encapsulating an arbitrary network-layer protocol over another network-layer protocol. It also defines the Protocol Type field used to identify the carried payload. Huawei uses GRE as an SD-WAN overlay data-channel option and can additionally secure it using IPsec when confidentiality and integrity are required.
