Answer options
A: 30
B: 3.3
C: 10 Correct answer
D: 40
Correct Answer:
C. 10
Explanation

In an IS-IS broadcast network, a Designated Intermediate System (DIS) is elected to manage Link-State Database (LSDB) synchronization for the entire segment. The DIS achieves this by periodically multicasting Complete Sequence Number PDUs (CSNPs), which contain a summary of all Link-State PDUs (LSPs) in its database. According to Huawei VRP (Versatile Routing Platform) implementation, the default interval for the DIS to send these CSNPs on a broadcast network is 10 seconds. This ensures that all routers on the LAN segment maintain a synchronized and consistent view of the network topology.

Why Incorrect

A. 30: This is the default interval for sending CSNPs on a Point-to-Point (P2P) IS-IS network in Huawei VRP, not on a broadcast network as specified in the question.
B. 3.3: This value is not a standard default for the CSNP interval. It is sometimes associated with the default Hello interval on certain high-speed Point-to-Point links in some vendor implementations.
D. 40: This value is not a default IS-IS timer. It is four times the default Hello interval (10s) on a broadcast network, which corresponds to the default hold-down timer.

1. Huawei CloudEngine S12700 V200R019C10 Command Reference: In the section for IS-IS Commands, the documentation for the isis timer csnp command specifies the default values. It states, "By default, the interval for sending CSNPs on a broadcast network is 10s, and the interval for sending CSNPs on a P2P network is 30s."

2. Huawei HCIP-Datacom-Advanced Routing & Switching Technology V1.0 Training Material: The module on "IS-IS Principles" details the operation of the DIS on broadcast networks. It confirms that the DIS periodically sends CSNPs to synchronize the LSDB and the default interval for this process is 10 seconds.
