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

When a stack splits, the MAC addresses of the newly formed stacks do not change immediately. Instead, they retain their original MAC addresses until new ones are reassigned during topology updates. This delayed update prevents immediate conflicts and allows MAD (Multiple Active Detection) to handle any resulting issues ​.

BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) is a lightweight protocol that provides rapid detection of faults in the forwarding path between two routers or switches.

It works in conjunction with routing protocols and provides fast failure detection to enable quick route convergence.

Protocol support:

B. BFD for static routes – Supported. BFD tracks the reachability of next-hop addresses and can trigger route removal upon failure.

C. BFD for OSPF – Supported. BFD can be associated with OSPF to accelerate the detection of neighbor failures.

D. BFD for BGP – Supported. BFD enables sub-second detection of BGP peer failures.

A. BFD for PIM – Not supported . PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) typically does not use BFD for neighbor failure detection.

Reference from Huawei HCIP-Datacom-Core Technology Study Guide:

“BFD can be associated with static routes, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, and other protocols to quickly detect link or device faults and trigger fast rerouting.”
