Huawei H19-404_V1.0 HCSE-Presales-Campus Network Planning and Design V1.0 Exam Practice Test

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.

==================

The statement is false because Huawei SD-WAN supports both priority-based link selection and load balancing. Multiple Internet or WAN links do not have to be treated equally. An administrator can define a preferred or primary link and designate another link as secondary or backup according to application requirements, link quality, cost, bandwidth, or operational policy.

For delay- and packet-loss-sensitive services such as voice and video, a higher-quality link can be configured as the primary path and another link as the backup. If the primary link no longer satisfies the configured SLA thresholds, traffic can be dynamically switched to a better path. Huawei’s material explicitly describes primary and secondary link selection based on SLA and also presents load-balancing-based steering as a separate option.

Load balancing is useful when an enterprise wants to utilize the bandwidth of multiple links concurrently. Priority-based active/standby forwarding is preferable when one provider offers better quality or when one circuit should be reserved for critical services. Intelligent traffic steering can additionally consider application priority and current bandwidth utilization. Therefore, multiple links can be prioritized, load-balanced, or used in a policy-controlled combination, making option B correct.

==================

Option C is false. Traditional QoS can classify traffic and provide differentiated treatment for service categories such as voice, video, and ordinary data. It normally performs classification, marking, policing, shaping, congestion avoidance, and queue scheduling on an interface. This provides service-level differentiation but does not deliver sufficiently refined simultaneous management across multiple users and multiple applications.

Huawei’s material explicitly states that traditional QoS schedules traffic based on port bandwidth and can differentiate traffic according to service levels, but it is difficult to distinguish traffic by user. It also states that traditional QoS cannot manage and schedule traffic from multiple services and multiple users simultaneously.

HQoS addresses this limitation through hierarchical, multi-level queues. For example, a parent level can allocate bandwidth to departments, VPNs, sites, or users, while child queues prioritize applications such as voice, video, email, and best-effort traffic. Huawei describes HQoS as hierarchical scheduling that differentiates both services and users. Therefore, statements A, B, and D are correct, while statement C incorrectly attributes an HQoS capability to traditional QoS.

==================

The AR5710-SE is the security-enhanced model that supports intrusion prevention, antivirus, and URL filtering concurrently. The “SE” variant is designed for branch scenarios requiring integrated routing and advanced security processing instead of only basic WAN connectivity and packet forwarding.

IPS examines network traffic for attack signatures and abnormal behavior and can block detected intrusions. Antivirus inspection identifies malicious files or content using security-signature databases. URL filtering controls access to websites based on categories, reputation, or explicitly configured allowlists and blocklists. Supporting all three functions simultaneously allows the AR5710-SE to operate as both an SD-WAN CPE and a secure branch egress gateway, reducing the requirement for an additional branch firewall.

Huawei’s SD-WAN security architecture identifies firewall protection, antivirus, IPS, and URL filtering as its principal service-traffic security functions. Huawei also recommends advanced security functions such as URL filtering, IPS, and antivirus for branch scenarios requiring stronger Internet-egress protection. Among the listed models, the AR5710-SE provides the combined feature set. Therefore, option A is correct.

==================

A terminal-type survey primarily determines the appropriate network admission control solution. Different terminal categories have different authentication capabilities and security requirements. Corporate laptops may support 802.1X authentication, guests may require Portal authentication, and printers, cameras, sensors, and other dumb terminals commonly require MAC-address authentication or automatic terminal identification.

Huawei recommends selecting authentication technologies according to the terminal type and usage scenario. For example, access switches can serve as authentication points for wired dumb terminals, while APs or other access devices can perform authentication for wireless users. After terminal identification is enabled, iMaster NCE-Campus can automatically assign VLANs, ACLs, security groups, QoS parameters, and other authorization policies according to terminal category.

The survey therefore establishes which endpoints support interactive authentication, which require non-interactive admission, and which must receive special isolation or compliance policies. It does not independently determine the complete physical network architecture or the overall O & M platform. Consequently, the terminal survey is used to formulate the network admission control solution, making option C correct.

==================

In the product and course version covered by this examination, SD-WAN virtual CPEs can be deployed on AWS, Alibaba Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. A vCPE such as Huawei AR1000V provides SD-WAN routing functions as a virtual machine within a supported public-cloud infrastructure. It can connect enterprise branches to workloads hosted in the cloud and bring the cloud environment under the same controller-based management and policy-orchestration framework as physical CPEs.

This deployment provides one-hop cloud access, avoids unnecessarily routing cloud-bound traffic through a remote headquarters, and enables unified overlay networking between branches, data centers, and cloud virtual networks. Huawei states that the AR1000V virtual SD-WAN router can be deployed in public clouds to implement branch-to-cloud interconnection and unified policy orchestration. Huawei also describes flexible deployment of physical CPEs and vCPEs for cloud-access and PoP-based acceleration scenarios.

Huawei Cloud is not included in the supported public-cloud list represented by this specific H19-404 question. Product compatibility is version-dependent, so the correct examination answer is A, B, and C.

==================

Enabling the GRE checksum is optional. A functional point-to-point GRE tunnel requires a tunnel interface, GRE as the tunnel protocol, and reachable source and destination tunnel endpoints. The source identifies the local interface or IP address used to construct the delivery header, while the destination identifies the remote GRE endpoint. Without these endpoint parameters, the device cannot correctly encapsulate and deliver packets to the peer.

The checksum field is controlled by the Checksum Present bit in the GRE header. When checksum processing is enabled, the sender includes a checksum covering the GRE header and payload, and the receiver verifies it. This can provide additional corruption detection, but it increases processing and is not required for basic GRE operation. RFC 2784 explicitly labels the checksum field as optional and states that it is present only when the Checksum Present bit is set.

Huawei SD-WAN uses GRE or GRE over IPsec to establish data channels between edge devices. The essential tunnel and transport-network information is distributed through the control system, while optional GRE functions such as checksum validation may be enabled according to operational requirements.

==================

Option C is false. The digital-map energy-saving function provides network-wide energy visibility, identifies periods of low wireless demand, and recommends appropriate energy-saving time windows. During an approved energy-saving period, selected wireless APs or radio resources can be placed into an energy-saving state after the system evaluates coverage, traffic, and capacity requirements.

Automatically powering off switches is not the intended function. Campus switches may carry essential wired services, provide uplinks for other network devices, and supply PoE power to APs, cameras, phones, sensors, and access-control systems. Automatically shutting down a complete switch could therefore interrupt many unrelated services and potentially disconnect downstream network segments.

Huawei identifies low-carbon and energy-saving operation as a characteristic of cloud campus networks and combines this objective with AI-based intelligent O & M and proactive optimization. Its intelligent O & M architecture analyzes AP load trends and performs predictive wireless-network optimization, providing the analytical foundation for selecting safe energy-saving periods and resources.

Therefore, A, B, and D describe supported digital-map energy-saving capabilities. Automatic switch power-off is the false statement, making C correct.

MRA, or Media Redundancy Auto-Manager, supports the automatic election of the Media Redundancy Manager in an MRP ring. When several devices are configured with the MRA role, they exchange control information and elect one device to perform the MRM function. The elected MRM supervises the ring, blocks one ring port during normal operation to prevent a Layer 2 loop, detects failures, and changes the forwarding state when the ring becomes open.

An MRC is a Media Redundancy Client. It participates in the MRP ring and forwards MRP control packets, but it does not initiate the automatic manager-election process. MRM represents the operational manager role after election or manual configuration, rather than the role specifically designed to support election. MIM refers to a Media Redundancy Interconnection Manager, which is associated with interconnecting and protecting multiple MRP rings rather than electing the manager within one ring. MRP itself distinguishes the ring manager from ring clients and uses the manager to control ring forwarding and recovery.

==================

An industrial RedBox can provide all four listed interconnection modes. In HSR-SAN mode, it connects a singly attached node that does not natively support High-availability Seamless Redundancy to an HSR network. The RedBox duplicates frames entering the HSR domain and removes duplicate frames before delivering traffic to the SAN.

HSR-PRP mode interconnects an HSR ring with a Parallel Redundancy Protocol network while preserving seamless redundancy. PRP-PRP mode couples two PRP network domains, while HSR-HSR mode connects separate HSR rings. Depending on the implementation, the HSR-HSR interconnection function may also be described as a QuadBox function because four HSR-facing ports can be involved.

The essential RedBox responsibilities are frame conversion, duplication, duplicate elimination, sequence-number handling, and prevention of unintended forwarding loops between redundancy domains. HSR and PRP use compatible duplicate-identification principles, enabling controlled interconnection between these network types without introducing a single point of failure. RedBoxes also provide redundant connectivity for devices that have only one ordinary Ethernet interface.

==================

Option B is false because a station retains its original IP address during Layer 3 roaming. Preserving the IP address is essential for maintaining active application sessions when the station moves between APs associated with different service VLANs, Layer 2 domains, and gateways. Huawei’s training diagram shows the same station IP address before and after roaming, while the service VLAN changes.

When the STA initially accesses the WLAN, a Home AP or HAP is selected for it. After the STA roams to a Foreign AP, the new AP obtains the station information and establishes the required forwarding relationship with the HAP. In direct-forwarding implementations, the STA’s traffic is encapsulated and forwarded to the HAP, which preserves access through the original network and gateway.

Therefore, A and C accurately describe HAP-based Layer 3 roaming. Option D is also correct: the APs use the same SSID and authentication mode but different service VLANs. The station’s IP address does not change, so B is the false statement.

==================

WAPI, or WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure, is the wireless LAN security standard proposed by China. It provides wireless link authentication and data-protection mechanisms and was developed as an alternative security framework for WLAN environments. Huawei’s training material explicitly identifies WAPI as a WLAN security standard proposed in China and states that it provides stronger protection than legacy WEP and WPA mechanisms.

WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 belong to the Wi-Fi Protected Access family maintained through Wi-Fi industry certification. WPA was introduced as an interim improvement over WEP. WPA2 adopted stronger IEEE 802.11i security mechanisms, including AES-based CCMP. WPA3 later introduced stronger password-authentication and enterprise-security options.

WAPI incorporates authentication and encryption as part of an integrated wireless security architecture. Its deployment depends on regional requirements, terminal compatibility, AP support, and the organization’s regulatory or cryptographic-policy obligations. The question asks which standard originated as a Chinese wireless security standard, not which standard is most widely deployed internationally. Therefore, WAPI is the only correct choice, making option B the verified answer.

==================

Huawei SD-WAN provides all four technologies. Per-flow load balancing distributes separate application flows among multiple links that have the same priority and satisfy the required SLA. Per-packet load balancing can transmit packets from one flow across multiple eligible links, improving aggregate bandwidth utilization for large file transfers, backups, and replication.

Multi-fed and selective receiving duplicates critical traffic across different links. The receiving device selects valid packets, removes duplicates, and preserves packet order. Packet loss or failure on one path therefore does not interrupt the service, enabling zero-millisecond link switchover in applicable deployments.

A-FEC dynamically generates redundant packets and adjusts the redundancy ratio according to measured packet loss. The receiving device reconstructs lost packets, reducing video freezing and voice-quality deterioration. Huawei describes both adaptive FEC and multi-fed selective receiving as WAN-optimization mechanisms for key traffic.

Intelligent traffic steering selects links according to application identity, quality, bandwidth, priority, and load. Therefore, A, B, C, and D are all correct.

==================

All four listed classification dimensions are supported slicing approaches in the relevant campus and SD-WAN context. A slice can be created from traffic characteristics, including a 5-tuple or an identified application, so selected flows receive dedicated forwarding, bandwidth, security, or quality policies. Huawei supports customized application identification using URLs and IP 5-tuple information, as well as application- and 5-tuple-based traffic steering and QoS.

VPN- or VN-based slicing provides logical Layer 3 isolation. Huawei’s SD-WAN design maps each VN to an independent VPN instance or VRF and permits different overlay topologies, routing configurations, and policies. User-group-based slicing associates network treatment with identity or security-group membership rather than a permanently assigned IP address, supporting free mobility and consistent policy when users move. Huawei’s campus architecture applies different permissions to different user groups inside a VN.

VLAN- or port-based slicing classifies traffic by the local access attachment and is useful for fixed terminals or environments without identity authentication. Therefore, A, B, C, and D are all correct.

The Network Management System is not an element of the IFIT measurement model. An IFIT measurement definition identifies the traffic to be measured, the locations where measurement actions occur, and the direction in which the flow is evaluated. The measurement flow specifies the target packets, usually through flow-identification fields. Measurement points define where packets are marked, counted, timestamped, or reported, such as ingress, transit, and egress nodes. Measurement direction distinguishes forward and reverse monitoring so that packet loss, delay, and path behavior can be analyzed correctly for each direction.

An NMS or controller remains operationally important because it creates measurement tasks, distributes configurations, receives telemetry data, correlates the results, and presents fault-location information. However, it is the management and analysis system surrounding the measurement model, not one of the model’s constituent measurement parameters.

Huawei positions IFIT as a high-precision telemetry mechanism used to delimit and locate application-quality faults. The training material highlights IFIT’s capability to locate faults rapidly and detect packet loss with extremely high reliability. Therefore, the component that is not part of the measurement model is the NMS.

==================

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.

==================

Hardware-based encryption is the unambiguously correct statement. MACsec protects Ethernet frames at Layer 2 using AES-GCM-based authenticated encryption. On enterprise switches and routers, the encryption and integrity operations are commonly implemented in forwarding ASICs or dedicated hardware so that frames can be protected at high throughput with low latency.

Option A is incorrect because complex manual configuration is not an inherent requirement. MACsec can use manually configured connectivity-association keys, but IEEE 802.1X MACsec Key Agreement can automate peer authentication, secure-channel establishment, key distribution, and rekeying. The operational complexity therefore depends on the deployment model and management platform.

Option C is also inaccurate. MACsec is media-independent, meaning it can operate over supported copper or fiber Ethernet; however, it does not eliminate the requirement for appropriate Layer 2 connectivity between participating MACsec entities. Standard hop-by-hop MACsec protects Ethernet links or LAN connectivity between peers and is not a general Layer 3 tunneling mechanism.

MACsec supplies Layer 2 confidentiality, integrity, origin authentication, and replay protection. Its encryption can be performed directly in network-device hardware, enabling substantially better forwarding performance than software-only encryption implementations.

Huawei SD-WAN allows encryption to be controlled by virtual network and by specific device relationships. When encryption is enabled for a VN, the overlay data channels carrying that VN’s traffic use IPsec protection across the relevant WAN links. This provides consistent isolation and confidentiality for the department or service represented by that VN.

Encryption can also be enabled between selected devices or sites. In that case, secure data channels are established for traffic exchanged between those specified endpoints, while other device relationships can continue using GRE without IPsec according to their policies.

Application-specific encryption, as described in option C, is not the supported control granularity. Application identification can influence intelligent traffic steering, QoS, and security-policy selection, but it does not mean that only the payload of a selected application is independently encrypted inside an otherwise unencrypted SD-WAN tunnel.

A transport network is an underlay WAN such as MPLS or the Internet. Enabling encryption is an overlay tunnel policy rather than a mechanism that encrypts all traffic belonging to an entire TN. Huawei distinguishes TNs as underlay networks and GRE or IPsec VPNs as overlay data channels. Therefore, only A and B are correct.
