H12-831_V1-0 practice question 27 of 35

Domain IGP Advanced (OSPF, IS-IS)

Answer options
A: True
B: False
Correct Answer:
FALSE
Explanation

On Huawei routers an OSPF process automatically sets its Domain-ID to the OSPF Router-ID when no explicit domain-id command is configured. It is not derived from, nor required to match, the OSPF process-ID. Although the Domain-ID can indeed be changed with the domain-id command, the premise that the default Domain-ID “must be consistent with the process ID” is incorrect; the two values are independent. Why the Stated Assertion Is Wrong
• Default value: Huawei documentation states that “if the domain-id command is not executed, the OSPF process uses its router-id as the domain ID.” This contradicts the claim that it equals the process-ID.
• Relationship: The process-ID is a local CLI index for multiple OSPF instances; it has no protocol significance outside the router, whereas the Domain-ID (an 8-byte value) is carried in Type-66 TLVs and used for loop-prevention across VPN sites.
• Modifiability: While the Domain-ID can be modified with domain-id, the incorrect statement about its default derivation renders the whole sentence false.
