Free Huawei H19-404_V1.0 Practice Exam with Questions & Answers

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.

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

A high-density 400GE service card for the CloudEngine S16700 series can provide 18 ports. The S16700 is positioned as a next-generation flagship campus core switch designed for ultra-high-capacity aggregation, large-scale Wi-Fi backhaul, data-center interconnection, and long-term bandwidth evolution.

An 18-port 400GE card provides a theoretical aggregate port rate of 7.2 Tbit/s in each direction before considering the switching fabric’s internal architecture and forwarding design. This density allows a single chassis slot to aggregate numerous high-speed distribution switches, connect multiple campus fabrics, or provide high-bandwidth links toward data centers and service platforms. It also reduces the number of cards and chassis required compared with lower-density 8-port, 12-port, or 16-port alternatives.

The question asks specifically for the number of physical 400GE interfaces offered by the card, not the entire chassis capacity or the number of ports after breakout. Under the H19-404 product-portfolio specification represented by this question, the correct density is 18 native 400GE ports. Therefore, option B is correct.

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

A central switch in the relevant passive Ethernet network architecture supports a maximum of 48 access units. The architecture replaces a conventional multi-layer access design with a centralized switch and distributed remote or access units. The access units function as extensions of the central switch’s ports, simplifying device management, configuration, and topology maintenance.

Huawei’s CloudEngine S5731-H fixed central-switch specification provides models with 24 or 48 hybrid optical-electrical downlink ports. The 48-port model can therefore directly manage up to 48 associated access or remote units under the design limits represented by this question. The same hybrid links can provide data transmission and remote PoE power, enabling access units to be installed closer to terminals without requiring conventional active aggregation equipment at every location.

The central switch automatically discovers the topology, while remote units behave as extended ports rather than independently managed switches. This reduces management nodes and simplifies a traditional three-layer network into a two-layer architecture. The larger values of 64, 72, and 96 exceed the supported maximum for the specified central-switch implementation. Therefore, option C is correct.

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

A border device, or more precisely a device at a border site, provides communication between different areas in a hierarchical SD-WAN topology. The hierarchical model divides a large WAN into multiple areas. Each area can independently use a hub-spoke or full-mesh topology, while selected border sites connect the local area to a centralized backbone area.

When a non-border site receives a route originating in another area, the route’s next-hop site ID is changed to the border site in its own area. The local border device then forwards traffic toward the border site in the destination area or toward an interconnected hub site. Ordinary edge devices provide connectivity for their own sites but do not automatically perform cross-area transit.

Huawei describes border sites as members of both the level-2 area network and the level-1 backbone network. These sites collectively implement interconnection between areas. Huawei further explains that inter-area routes point to border sites and recommends two border sites operating in active/standby mode for reliability. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

The statement is true. In this three-layer campus design, aggregation switches function as VXLAN edge nodes and distributed gateways, while access switches provide terminal connectivity. Policy association allows the access switches to participate in user admission and policy enforcement without requiring them to support full VXLAN functions.

The access switch collects terminal access information and associates user traffic with the appropriate service or policy. The aggregation switch, acting as the fabric edge and VXLAN tunnel endpoint, performs VXLAN encapsulation, distributed gateway forwarding, and policy-related operations. Huawei specifically states that when aggregation switches operate as edge nodes, access switches do not need to support VXLAN and can cooperate with aggregation switches through policy association. This also permits legacy access switches to be reused.

The design reduces upgrade costs and avoids extending complex overlay configurations to every access device. Huawei’s automated virtual-network deployment model also explicitly includes policy association between the aggregation and access layers, allowing access switches without VXLAN capability to operate as transparent or associated access nodes. Therefore, option A is correct.

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

A network serving 15,000 wireless terminals is a large-scale WLAN and should use a standalone WAC solution. A dedicated WAC provides independent controller resources, scalable AP and user management, centralized WLAN policy control, and the ability to deploy controller redundancy without tying wireless-control capacity directly to a specific core-switch service card.

Huawei recommends a standalone WAC when the wireless network scale is large or when the wireless network is deployed independently over an existing wired campus. The WAC is typically connected to the aggregation or core layer in off-path mode, and VRRP hot standby can be used to improve reliability.

Native WAC solutions are valuable for unified wired and wireless management, authentication, forwarding, and policy enforcement. However, for a very large number of wireless terminals, the controller platform must be selected according to user, AP, traffic, and forwarding-capacity specifications. A standalone WAC allows the wireless control plane to be sized and expanded independently.

Option C provides the dedicated WAC together with the required core and aggregation or access infrastructure. Therefore, it is the recommended architecture for 15,000 wireless terminals.
