Which of the following nodes connects computing resources such as virtual and physical servers to a VXLAN fabric?
Answer : B
In Huawei's spine-leaf VXLAN fabric (e.g., CloudFabric), nodes have specific roles:
A . DCI leaf: Data Center Interconnect (DCI) leaf nodes connect different data centers, not internal computing resources. Incorrect.
B . Server leaf: Server leaf nodes connect computing resources (virtual servers via hypervisors, physical servers) to the VXLAN fabric, handling access traffic. This is the correct role for connecting servers. Correct.
C . Border leaf: Border leaf nodes connect the DCN to external networks, not internal computing resources. Incorrect.
D . Service leaf: Service leaf nodes connect to value-added services (e.g., firewalls), not directly to computing resources like servers. Incorrect.
Thus, the answer is B (Server leaf).
Which of the following are the application scenarios of Huawei CloudFabric Solution? (Select All that Apply)
Answer : A, C, D
Huawei's CloudFabric Solution supports various data center scenarios. Let's evaluate each option:
A . Container network: This is true. CloudFabric supports containerized environments (e.g., Kubernetes) with VXLAN and SDN integration. TRUE.
B . OpenFlow network: This is false. CloudFabric primarily uses BGP-EVPN and proprietary protocols, not OpenFlow, which is more associated with other SDN platforms. FALSE.
C . Hosting: This is true. CloudFabric is suitable for hosting environments, providing multi-tenant network services. TRUE.
D . Cloud-network integration: This is true. It integrates with cloud platforms (e.g., OpenStack) for unified management. TRUE.
E . Computing: This is false. While it supports computing resources, ''computing'' is not a primary scenario; it's an enabler (e.g., server connectivity). FALSE.
Thus, A, C, and D are application scenarios.
Which of the following operations need to be performed before deployment in Easy mode? (Select All that Apply)
Answer : B, C
The Easy mode in Huawei's iMaster NCE-Fabric simplifies VXLAN fabric deployment with automated configuration. Certain pre-deployment steps are required. Let's evaluate each option:
A . Disable data synchronization upon going online for the first time: This is false. Data synchronization is typically enabled by default to ensure consistency; disabling it is not a standard pre-deployment step and is optional based on specific needs. FALSE.
B . Load the license: This is true. A valid license must be loaded into iMaster NCE-Fabric before deployment to unlock features, including Easy mode functionality. TRUE.
C . Pre-configure the access ports: This is true. Access ports on devices (e.g., server leaf nodes) need to be pre-configured (e.g., with VLANs or basic settings) to ensure connectivity before Easy mode automation begins. TRUE.
D . Configure an SSH fingerprint verification policy: This is false. SSH fingerprint verification is part of security configuration but is not a mandatory pre-deployment step for Easy mode; it can be set post-deployment or is automated. FALSE.
Thus, B (Load the license) and C (Pre-configure the access ports) are required operations before deployment in Easy mode.
In Huawei CloudFabric Solution, OSPF or BGP can be used on the underlay network of a DC.
Answer : A
In Huawei's CloudFabric Solution, the underlay network provides the physical infrastructure for VXLAN overlays. Both OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) are supported routing protocols:
OSPF: Suitable for smaller to medium-sized DCNs, offering fast convergence and simplicity.
BGP: Preferred for large-scale DCNs, providing scalability and multi-tenancy support (e.g., EBGP for inter-AS or iBGP for intra-DC).
Huawei documentation confirms flexibility in choosing OSPF or BGP based on network size and requirements. The statement is TRUE (A).
Which of the following statements is false about the overlay technology and VXLAN protocol?
Answer : A
VXLAN is an overlay technology that encapsulates Layer 2 frames within UDP packets to create scalable virtual networks, widely used in Huawei's data center architectures. Let's evaluate each statement:
A . A VXLAN tunnel endpoint that performs encapsulation is called a VNI: This is incorrect. A VXLAN Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) is the device (physical or virtual) that performs encapsulation and decapsulation. The VNI (VXLAN Network Identifier) is a 24-bit field in the VXLAN header that identifies the virtual network, not the endpoint. FALSE.
B . VXLAN uses ECMP of the underlay network to improve network forwarding performance: Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing in the underlay network allows VXLAN to distribute traffic across multiple paths, enhancing load balancing and performance. This is a standard feature in Huawei's VXLAN implementations. TRUE.
C . A VXLAN network is built based on UDP: VXLAN encapsulates Ethernet frames within UDP packets (using port 4789), making it a UDP-based overlay protocol. This is a core characteristic of VXLAN. TRUE.
D . VXLAN expands the number of subnets to 16 million and supports multi-tenancy: With a 24-bit VNI, VXLAN supports up to 16 million (2^24) unique network identifiers, enabling extensive subnet segmentation and multi-tenancy, a key advantage over traditional VLANs (4096 limit). TRUE.
Thus, A is the false statement because a VTEP, not a VNI, is the tunnel endpoint that performs encapsulation.
Which of the following servers are built into iMaster NCE-Fabric to provide related services? (Select All that Apply)
Answer : C, D
Huawei's iMaster NCE-Fabric is an SDN controller for the CloudFabric Solution, providing network orchestration and management. It includes built-in servers to support its operations. Let's evaluate each option:
A . DNS server: This is false. iMaster NCE-Fabric does not include a built-in DNS server; it relies on external DNS services for name resolution, configured during deployment. FALSE.
B . RADIUS authentication server: This is false. RADIUS authentication is typically handled by external AAA servers; iMaster NCE-Fabric integrates with them but does not embed a RADIUS server. FALSE.
C . DHCP server: This is true. iMaster NCE-Fabric includes a built-in DHCP server to assign temporary IP addresses during Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) or initial device configuration. TRUE.
D . Version file server: This is true. A version file server is built into iMaster NCE-Fabric to store and deliver software images or configuration files for device upgrades and management. TRUE.
Thus, C (DHCP server) and D (Version file server) are built into iMaster NCE-Fabric.
Which of the following can be used as the conditions for microsegmentation to divide EPGs? (Select All that Apply)
Answer : A, B, C, D
Microsegmentation in Huawei's data center networks (e.g., CloudFabric with SDN) divides Endpoint Groups (EPGs) to enforce fine-grained security policies. EPGs group endpoints (e.g., VMs) based on attributes. Let's evaluate each option:
A . Operating system: This is true. The OS type (e.g., Linux, Windows) can be used to segment EPGs, enabling policy enforcement based on OS-specific security needs. TRUE.
B . VM name: This is true. VM names can be used as identifiers for microsegmentation, allowing policies to target specific VMs. TRUE.
C . IP address: This is true. IP addresses are commonly used to define EPG boundaries, especially for network-based segmentation. TRUE.
D . MAC address: This is true. MAC addresses can segment EPGs, particularly for Layer 2-based policies or device-specific isolation. TRUE.
All options A, B, C, and D are valid conditions for microsegmentation to divide EPGs in Huawei's implementation.
