Which of the following protocol data packets can be encapsulated in a VPN using GRE?
Correct Answer: A,B,C,D
GRE is a multiprotocol encapsulation mechanism and can carry all the listed packet types. It inserts a GRE header around the original payload and then places the resulting GRE packet inside a delivery-protocol packet. Because the GRE header contains a Protocol Type field identifying the encapsulated payload, GRE is not restricted to ordinary IPv4 unicast traffic. IPv6 packets can be transported as GRE payloads when supported by the tunnel endpoints. IP unicast traffic is the most common use case. GRE can also carry IP multicast and broadcast packets, which is one of its major advantages over basic IPsec tunnel selectors that traditionally focus on IP unicast traffic. This enables routing protocols, multicast applications, discovery traffic, and other non-unicast services to operate across a logical point-to-point tunnel. RFC 2784 defines GRE as a general mechanism for encapsulating an arbitrary network-layer protocol over another network-layer protocol. It also defines the Protocol Type field used to identify the carried payload. Huawei uses GRE as an SD-WAN overlay data-channel option and can additionally secure it using IPsec when confidentiality and integrity are required.
Question 2
Which solution can be used when users need to centrally control and manage Internet access traffic but do not have the required security-processing capability?
Correct Answer: D
Professional security devices should be deployed at the headquarters or another centralized Internet-access site. Under centralized Internet access, branch Internet traffic is first carried through the SD-WAN overlay to the centralized gateway. The headquarters security infrastructure then performs access control and security inspection before forwarding the traffic to the Internet. This approach is appropriate when branch CPEs lack sufficient processing capacity or advanced security functions. A centralized firewall or dedicated security platform can provide intrusion prevention, antivirus inspection, URL filtering, application control, content security, and unified logging. It also allows the enterprise to enforce one consistent security policy instead of maintaining separate advanced configurations at every branch. Deploying advanced security capabilities on each CPE, as proposed in option C, is a distributed local- breakout design and does not satisfy the stated limitation concerning security-processing capability. Third- party cloud security services can be used in some site-to-cloud or secure Internet-access architectures, but they are not the intended headquarters-based centralized solution in this question. Huawei explicitly states that centralized Internet traffic is diverted to the centralized access site and that the firewall function is deployed there to secure Internet services. Therefore, option D is correct.
Question 3
The AirEngine 8771-X1T has dynamic-zoom smart antennas that can switch between omnidirectional and high-density modes.
Correct Answer: A
The statement is true. The AirEngine 8771-X1T uses dynamic-zoom smart-antenna technology that can adapt its radiation characteristics according to the deployment environment. In omnidirectional mode, the antenna pattern is optimized to provide broad and balanced coverage, making it appropriate for ordinary offices, corridors, classrooms, and other environments where users are distributed over a relatively large area. In high-density mode, the antenna pattern is adjusted to concentrate radio energy more effectively within the intended service area. This reduces unnecessary signal leakage, limits interference between neighboring APs, and improves concurrent-user performance in lecture halls, conference rooms, auditoriums, and similar high- density environments. The switching capability is more effective than using a permanently fixed antenna pattern because WLAN conditions can change as users move and traffic density increases or decreases. Huawei's training material states that dynamic-zoom smart antennas dynamically switch between omnidirectional and high-density modes, improving coverage in omnidirectional mode while strengthening the user experience in high-density scenarios. Therefore, option A is correct.
Question 4
Which of the following statements is true about an AP's transmit power?
Correct Answer: B
An AP's transmit power must be maintained within an appropriate range. Excessive power does not automatically improve service quality. A high-power AP can enlarge its interference domain, create co- channel or adjacent-channel interference, produce asymmetric uplink and downlink coverage, and cause sticky-client behavior because a station continues hearing an AP even when its weaker transmission cannot reliably reach that AP. Huawei states that high-power APs can interfere with adjacent APs and that radio calibration dynamically adjusts AP channels, power, and frequency bands to ensure coverage while minimizing interference. Conversely, power that is too low creates coverage holes, weak received signal strength, low modulation rates, retransmissions, and roaming instability. When a new AP is added, neighboring APs may reduce their transmit power to limit interference. When an AP goes offline, neighboring APs may increase power to compensate for the missing coverage. The engineering objective is therefore neither maximum nor minimum power, but sufficient coverage with controlled overlap and minimum interference. Accordingly, option B is correct.
Question 5
In the energy-saving solution based on AI traffic prediction, IoT APs are recommended to operate in non- energy-saving mode by default.
Correct Answer: A
The statement is true. AI-based energy-saving systems analyze historical traffic and usage patterns to predict periods of low network demand. Ordinary AP radios or access devices can then enter an energy-saving state when their capacity is not required, while surrounding devices maintain sufficient coverage and service availability. IoT APs, however, may host continuously operating IoT cards, sensors, electronic shelf-label services, Bluetooth location functions, RFID services, healthcare devices, or asset-tracking terminals. Placing such an AP into an energy-saving or hibernation state could interrupt more than ordinary Wi-Fi connectivity. It could also disable an IoT module's power supply, management channel, data backhaul, or persistent sensing function. Huawei's Wi-Fi and IoT convergence architecture uses APs as shared locations, power sources, and communication channels for IoT services. Huawei also applies intelligent technologies to analyze AP load trends and perform predictive network optimization. The safer default is therefore to exclude IoT APs from automatic energy-saving actions unless the administrator confirms that their attached IoT services tolerate interruption. Accordingly, the answer is True.
