Huawei HCIP-Data Center H12-893_V1.0 Question # 15 Topic 2 Discussion

IP address planning is critical in Huawei’s CloudFabric data center networks to ensure scalability and efficiency. Let’s evaluate each statement:

A. Service addresses refer to the IP addresses of servers, hosts, and gateways:This is true. Service addresses are assigned to endpoints (servers, hosts) and gateways, distinguishing them from management or interconnection IPs in DC planning.TRUE.

B. IP addresses with a 24-bit mask are recommended for use as interconnection IP addresses:This is false. A 24-bit mask (/24) is typically used for service subnets, while interconnection IPs (e.g., between spine and leaf) often use smaller masks (e.g., /31 or /30) to conserve addresses and align with point-to-point links.FALSE.

C. IP addresses must be contiguous. The routes with contiguous IP addresses can be summarized easily on a hierarchical network:This is false. Contiguity is desirable for summarization but not mandatory; non-contiguous blocks can still be managed with proper routing design (e.g., using BGP).FALSE.

D. IP address allocation should be simple and easy to manage, reflect network layers, and simplify network management and network expansion:This is true. Huawei recommends structured allocation (e.g., by layer or function) to streamline management and support future growth.TRUE.

Thus,A and Dare true statements about IP address planning.References:Huawei CloudFabric Data Center Network Solution – IP Planning; HCIP-Data Center Network Training – Address Management.
