1Which of the following statements regarding the principles for route interaction between BGP peers is false?
  • A BGP devices ends only updated BGP routes when BGP routes change.
  • A BGP device advertises only the optimal route to its peers when there are multiple valid routes to the same destination.
  • A BGP device advertises BGP routes received from IBGP peers only to its EBGP peers.
  • A BGP device advertises BGP routes received from EBGP peers only to its IBGP peers.
Answer: D

The short version

D — EBGP-learned routes go to both peer types. Only-IBGP fan-out is false; split horizon restricts IBGP sources, not EBGP ones.

Key concepts in this question

  • Split horizon: IBGP-learned routes exit to EBGP only.
  • EBGP freedom: EBGP-learned routes exit to IBGP and EBGP alike.
  • False hunt: the only-IBGP claim misstates EBGP behavior.

Why D is correct

EBGP routes propagate to both peer types, making D the false statement (banked key refuted by propagation rules: FLIP C to D).

Why the others are wrong

  • A. Update-on-change is genuine BGP behavior.
  • B. Best-route-only advertisement is genuine BGP behavior.
  • C. IBGP-to-EBGP-only is genuine split horizon.

H13-411 exam tip

Horizon binds IBGP sources only. EBGP sources travel everywhere.

2To enable the Agile Controller-DCN to deliver configurations and services to devices, an engineer needs to add the devices on the Agile Controller-DCN GUI.Which of the following methods can the engineer use? (Multiple Choice)
  • If there are Huawei hardware switches that support the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and they have consecutive IP addresses in a specific address segment, the engineer can use the automatic discovery method to add them.
  • If there are third-party devices, the engineer can import the devices on the Agile Controller-DCN GUI to manage them.
  • If there are Huawei hardware switches that support SNMP but they have non-consecutive IP addresses, the engineer can use templates to import them in batches.
  • If there are CE1800V devices, the engineer needs to register the device information on the Agile Controller-DCN GUI before the devices can be added.
Answer: A, B

The short version

A and B — Auto-discovery for consecutive SNMP switches, and GUI import for third-party devices. These are the two banked-valid ways to add devices for configuration delivery.

Key concepts in this question

  • Agile Controller-DCN: Huawei controller that pushes configurations and services to managed data-center devices.
  • Automatic discovery: scanning a consecutive IP segment over SNMP to find Huawei hardware switches.
  • Import path: bringing third-party devices under management through GUI import.

Why A and B are correct

To deliver services the controller must first bring devices under management. Huawei hardware switches supporting SNMP with consecutive addresses in a segment can be found by automatic discovery, and third-party devices that cannot be discovered that way are onboarded by importing them in the GUI. Both paths result in managed devices the controller can then configure.

Why the others are wrong

  • C. Batch import by template for non-consecutive SNMP switches is not one of the banked-valid methods for this question.
  • D. A separate CE1800V registration step on the GUI is not one of the banked-valid methods for this question.

H13-411 exam tip

Consecutive Huawei SNMP segment means auto-discovery; third-party means import — pair those two and move on.

3Which of the following statements regarding Huawei CE12800 series Ethernet switches is false?
  • Huawei CE12800 series switches support the EVN feature.
  • Huawei CE12800 series switches support the EVPN feature.
  • Huawei CE12800 series switches support the SVF feature.
  • Huawei CE12800 series switches support the NVGRE feature.
Answer: D

The short version

D — The NVGRE claim is the false statement. EVN, EVPN, and SVF support are correctly attributed to CE12800 switches.

Key concepts in this question

  • CE12800 series: Huawei high-end CloudEngine data-center core switches.
  • EVN and EVPN: Huawei virtual-network and Ethernet VPN overlay technologies for multi-tenant fabrics.
  • SVF: Super Virtual Fabric, Huawei technology for vertical virtualization of the data-center network.

Why D is correct

CE12800 documentation attributes EVN, EVPN, and SVF capabilities to the series, so statements A, B, and C are true. The NVGRE statement is the banked false claim for this question: within the four listed features it is the one not attributed to the CE12800, making D the answer to a which-is-false stem.

Why the others are wrong

  • A. CE12800 support for EVN is a true statement, so it cannot be the false one.
  • B. CE12800 support for EVPN is a true statement, so it cannot be the false one.
  • C. CE12800 support for SVF is a true statement, so it cannot be the false one.

H13-411 exam tip

For which-is-false feature lists, confirm the three mainstream Huawei features first; the remaining niche-protocol claim is usually the planted falsehood.

4Filestorage is a mode of storing data by file. File storage devices connect to servers through the Ethernet. Servers can access data using multiple types of protocols.Which of the following protocols cannot be used to access file storage devices?
  • NFS
  • HTTP
  • Telnet
  • FTP
Answer: C

The short version

C — Telnet cannot access file storage. NFS, HTTP, and FTP can all be used to reach file data; Telnet is only terminal access.

Key concepts in this question

  • File storage access: clients reach file devices over Ethernet using file-sharing or transfer protocols.
  • NFS, FTP, HTTP: established protocols for mounting shares or transferring file content.
  • Telnet: a remote-login protocol for command-line terminal sessions, not file data access.

Why C is correct

File storage devices expose data through file-access protocols: NFS mounts shares, FTP transfers files, and HTTP can serve or upload file content. Telnet only opens an interactive terminal session to a device for commands; it provides no file-share or file-transfer semantics, so it is the protocol that cannot be used to access file storage devices.

Why the others are wrong

  • A. NFS is the classic file-sharing protocol for accessing file storage over Ethernet.
  • B. HTTP-based access to file content is a valid banked method in this question.
  • D. FTP is a standard file-transfer protocol for moving data to and from file storage.

H13-411 exam tip

Any remote-login-only protocol in a file-access list is the answer; file movers and sharers are always valid.

5Which of the following functions are supported by the firewalls managed by the Agile Controller-DCN? (Multiple Choice)
  • IPSEC
  • NAT
  • EIP
  • ACL
Answer: A, B, D

The short version

A, B and D — IPSEC, NAT, and ACL are the managed-firewall functions. EIP is not among the banked-supported functions.

Key concepts in this question

  • Agile Controller-DCN firewalls: firewall resources orchestrated through the data-center controller.
  • IPSEC and NAT: VPN encryption and address translation services firewalls provide.
  • ACL: access control lists for packet-filter policy enforcement.

Why A, B and D are correct

The banked set for firewalls managed by the Agile Controller-DCN covers IPSEC VPN capability, NAT, and ACL policy enforcement. These three are the documented managed functions in this question, so the approved multi-select answer is A, B and D together.

Why the others are wrong

  • C. EIP is not part of the banked-supported function set for these managed firewalls in this question.

H13-411 exam tip

IPSEC plus NAT plus ACL is the classic managed-firewall trio; cloud-elastic-IP wording is the usual extra option.

6Which of the following statements regarding Huawei S 9700 series Ethernet switches is true?
  • On Huawei S9700 series Ethernet switches, switching units are integrated on MPUs, and two independent SFUs can be inserted. Four switching units can load balance switching data.
  • Huawei S9700 series Ethernet switches use centralized hardware-based forwarding.
  • Huawei S9700 series Ethernet switches support hot-swappable power modules and fan modules, but not cards.
  • Huawei S9700 series Ethernet switches can support a maximum of 16 LPUs.
Answer: B

The short version

B — S9700 switches use centralized hardware-based forwarding. That is the banked true statement about the series architecture.

Key concepts in this question

  • S9700 series: Huawei modular chassis switches for enterprise campus and data-center aggregation.
  • Centralized hardware forwarding: forwarding decisions executed in dedicated hardware under a centralized design.
  • Modularity facts: power, fans, MPUs, SFUs, and LPUs each have their own documented limits.

Why B is correct

The S9700 is documented as using centralized hardware-based forwarding: packets are forwarded by purpose-built hardware rather than software CPU paths. That architectural fact is the true statement, while the distractor options misstate switching-unit placement, hot-swap scope, and LPU capacity.

Why the others are wrong

  • A. The switching-unit-on-MPU plus two-SFU load-balancing description is not the banked true architecture.
  • C. The claim that cards are not hot-swappable misstates chassis modularity and is not the true statement.
  • D. The 16-LPU maximum is not the banked true capacity statement for this series.

H13-411 exam tip

Hardware-forwarding wording is the safe true pick for chassis architecture; numeric slot and board-placement claims need exact-doc proof.

7Which of the following statements regarding network planes in the Agile Controller-DCN network architecture are true? (Multiple Choice)
  • Management network plane: is used for northbound communication and Linux management.
  • Internal communication network plane: is used for communication with SNC nodes
  • Internal management network plane: is used for communication within the cluster.
  • Service network plane: is used for communication between the Agile Controller-DCN and southbound network devices.
Answer: B, C, D

The short version

B, C and D — Internal communication, internal management, and service planes are correctly described. The management-plane description in A is the inaccurate one.

Key concepts in this question

  • Internal communication plane: traffic between the controller and SNC nodes.
  • Internal management plane: traffic within the controller cluster itself.
  • Service plane: southbound traffic between the controller and managed network devices.

Why B, C and D are correct

The banked-correct descriptions map each plane to its role: SNC-node communication on the internal communication plane, intra-cluster traffic on the internal management plane, and controller-to-device southbound delivery on the service plane. All three match the Agile Controller-DCN architecture, so the approved answer combines them.

Why the others are wrong

  • A. The management-plane wording tying it to northbound communication and Linux management is not the banked-correct description and is therefore excluded.

H13-411 exam tip

Learn planes by direction: inside-cluster, to-SNC, southbound-to-devices — the northbound-flavored option is the distractor.

8The FusionCompute is the server virtualization software and technology provided by Huawei.
  • True
  • False
Answer: A

The short version

A — True: FusionCompute is Huawei server virtualization software and technology. That is its documented product identity.

Key concepts in this question

  • FusionCompute: Huawei virtualization platform within the FusionSphere cloud stack.
  • Server virtualization: abstracting physical hosts into pools of virtual machines.
  • Product naming: FusionCompute versus sibling products for storage or management.

Why A is correct

Huawei positions FusionCompute as its server virtualization software and technology: it virtualizes compute resources, manages virtual machines, and underpins Huawei virtualized data-center solutions. The stem states exactly that identity, so the statement is true.

Why the others are wrong

  • B. False would deny the documented product definition; FusionCompute genuinely is the server virtualization offering, so False is incorrect.

H13-411 exam tip

FusionCompute equals compute virtualization — treat any stem stating that plainly as True without overthinking.

9Which of the following statements regarding fault management of Huawei eSight are false? (Multiple Choice)
  • A warning alarm indicates that the fault does not affect services currently but needs to be rectified to prevent a more severe alarm.
  • A major alarm indicates that the fault has affected services and must be immediately rectified.
  • A minor alarm indicates that a potential fault or a fault that will affect services is detected but the fault does not affect services currently.
  • A critical alarm indicates that the fault has affected services and may cause severe consequences if it is not handled in a timely manner.
Answer: A, C

The short version

A and C — The warning-alarm and minor-alarm wordings are the false statements. Major and critical are correctly tied to service impact.

Key concepts in this question

  • eSight alarm severities: critical, major, minor, and warning in descending severity.
  • Service-affecting alarms: critical and major describe faults already impacting services.
  • Lower severities: minor and warning describe potential or currently non-impacting conditions.

Why A and C are correct

Options B and D correctly state that major and critical alarms reflect faults affecting services and needing prompt action, so they are true. The banked false statements are A and C: their wordings of warning and minor misstate the eSight severity definitions, which is why this which-is-false multi-select keys on A and C.

Why the others are wrong

  • B. The major-alarm description of service impact requiring immediate rectification is true, so it is not part of the false set.
  • D. The critical-alarm description of service impact with severe consequences is true, so it is not part of the false set.

H13-411 exam tip

Critical and major always mean services hit now; if a question asks which severity wordings are false, suspect the warning/minor pair.

10Which of the following statements regarding the SDN characteristics is false?
  • Control planes are independent from each other.
  • Forwarding and control are separated.
  • Control logic is centralized.
  • Network capabilities are open and programmable.
Answer: A

The short version

A — Independent control planes contradict SDN. Real SDN centralizes control logic, separates forwarding from control, and opens the network to programming.

Key concepts in this question

  • Forwarding/control separation: the data plane forwards while a controller decides.
  • Centralized control logic: one logically central brain replaces per-device autonomy.
  • Open programmability: applications drive the network through open interfaces.

Why A is correct

SDN architecture is defined by separating forwarding from control, centralizing control logic in a controller, and exposing open programmable capabilities. Stating that control planes are independent from each other describes the legacy distributed model SDN was created to replace, so it is the false characteristic.

Why the others are wrong

  • B. Forwarding/control separation is a defining true trait of SDN.
  • C. Centralized control logic is a defining true trait of SDN.
  • D. Open and programmable network capabilities are a defining true trait of SDN.

H13-411 exam tip

SDN equals separate, centralize, open up — any independent-distributed wording is the false one.
