Huawei Updated H12-821_V1.0 Exam Questions and Answers by roisin

High-availability Stateful Backup (HSB) ensures synchronization between active and standby devices. If the HSB channel fails to establish, the following causes are possible:

TCP channel not established : The HSB channel relies on a TCP connection. If the TCP session cannot be established, the backup process cannot start.

Mismatched retransmission settings : If the retransmission count and interval for HSB service packets are inconsistent between the two devices, the synchronization process fails.

Incorrect source and destination configurations : If the source IP address and port number on one device do not match the destination IP address and port number on the other, the channel cannot be established.

Option C is incorrect because the priority of the two ACs affects active/standby roles but does not directly impact HSB channel establishment ​.

Option A correctly configures the DHCP relay agent (AC) to forward requests to the DHCP server using VLAN 10.

Option B correctly configures the DHCP server (AR) with the correct IP pool ( 10.1.1.0/24 ), gateway, and excluded IP addresses. The static route to 10.1.1.0 through 172.21.1.1 ensures proper routing ​.

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

IS-IS Area Division:

IS-IS divides areas by routers , not by links. A router is assigned to a specific IS-IS area, but it can belong to multiple levels:

Level 1: Maintains the LSDB (Link State Database) for the local area only.

Level 2: Maintains the LSDB for the backbone area and exchanges routes between areas.

Behavior of a Level 1-2 Router:

A router configured as Level 1-2 must maintain two separate LSDBs:

One for intra-area routes (Level 1).

One for inter-area routes (Level 2).

Incorrect Statement:

The statement that an IS-IS router only needs to maintain the LSDB of its area is incorrect because Level 1-2 routers maintain LSDBs for both levels.
