Exam H12-893_V1.0 Topic 2 Question 4 Discussion

The underlay network in Huawei's DCNs (e.g., CloudFabric) uses routing protocols like OSPF or BGP. Let's evaluate each statement:
A . OSPF is recommended for small and midsize DCNs, and EBGP is recommended for large and midsize networks: This is true. OSPF suits smaller networks (<300 switches), while EBGP is better for large networks (>300 switches) due to scalability. TRUE.
B . When OSPF is used on the underlay network, only single-area OSPF can be deployed: This is false. Multi-area OSPF can be deployed to manage larger networks, reducing routing table size and improving stability, a common practice in Huawei DCNs. FALSE.
C . Compared with OSPF, EBGP involves fewer calculations and offers better scalability: This is true. EBGP's path-vector nature requires fewer computational resources than OSPF's link-state calculations and scales better with large topologies. TRUE.
D . When EBGP is used on the underlay network, each group of active-active leaf nodes is deployed in an AS: This is true. In EBGP designs, active-active leaf nodes (e.g., M-LAG) are typically in the same Autonomous System (AS) to simplify routing, using iBGP or route reflectors. TRUE.
Thus, B is the false statement because multi-area OSPF is supported, not just single-area.
