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

In the provided configuration, IS-IS is enabled on Loopback0 but not on Loopback3 of R2. As a result, R2 will advertise the route 10.0.2.2/32 (from Loopback0) to R1 through IS-IS. However, the route 10.0.2.3/32 will not be advertised because IS-IS is not enabled on that loopback interface. The import-route direct command does not override this behavior ​.

Comprehensive and Detailed in-depth Step-by-Step Explanation:In OSPF, Link State Advertisements (LSAs) are used to exchange routing and topology information. Each LSA in the OSPF network is uniquely identified using a 3-tuple identifier, which consists of:

Link State ID:

The Link State ID uniquely identifies the LSA within the OSPF area. Its value depends on the LSA type. For example, for a Router LSA, the Link State ID is the originating router’s Router ID.

Advertising Router:

This is the Router ID of the router that generated the LSA. It identifies which router is responsible for creating and advertising this LSA.

LSType:

This field identifies the type of LSA (e.g., Router LSA, Network LSA, Summary LSA, AS-External LSA, etc.). It is crucial for interpreting the purpose and content of the LSA.

The LS Sequence Number is not part of the 3-tuple that uniquely identifies the LSA. Instead, it is used to determine the most recent version of the LSA in case there are multiple instances of the same LSA.

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:

IS-IS Three-Way Handshake:

IS-IS uses a three-way handshake to establish neighbor relationships.

This process is applied on both point-to-point (P2P) and broadcast network types to confirm bidirectional communication.

P2P Networks:

Routers directly exchange IS-IS Hello (IIH) packets to establish adjacency.

Broadcast Networks:

IS-IS also uses the three-way handshake on broadcast networks to ensure that the Designated Intermediate System (DIS) election and adjacency formation are correct.

By default, a router interface sends PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) Hello messages every 30 seconds to maintain neighbor relationships. This interval can be adjusted using configuration commands ​.
