Understanding Port Isolation in the Network

Network Setup Details:

The switch is Layer 3, with VLANIF10 configured as 10.1.1.1/24 (gateway for all PCs).

All PCs are in VLAN 10 and use 10.1.1.1 as the default gateway.

Port isolation is enabled on switch interfaces, dividing them into two groups:

Group 1 (PC1 & PC2): GigabitEthernet0/0/1 and GigabitEthernet0/0/2

Group 2 (PC3 & PC4): GigabitEthernet0/0/3 and GigabitEthernet0/0/4

Port Isolation Behavior:

Ports within the same isolation group CAN communicate with each other.

Ports from different isolation groups CANNOT communicate directly.

All devices CAN still communicate with the L3 switch (10.1.1.1), which acts as the gateway.

Which IPs Cannot be Pinged from PC1?

PC3 (10.1.1.4) and PC4 (10.1.1.5) are in a different isolation group (Group 2), so PC1 cannot reach them directly.

PC2 (10.1.1.3) is in the same isolation group (Group 1), so PC1 can ping it.

PC1 can ping the gateway (10.1.1.1) because the switch is Layer 3 and forwards traffic.

Thus, the correct answers are: A. 10.1.1.3 and D. 10.1.1.4.

Final Conclusion:

✅ PC1 CAN ping:

10.1.1.3 (PC2, same isolation group)

10.1.1.1 (Gateway, L3 Switch)

❌ PC1 CANNOT ping:

10.1.1.4 (PC3, different isolation group)

10.1.1.5 (PC4, different isolation group)

Thus, the correct answer is: A. 10.1.1.3 and D. 10.1.1.4.

Understanding the DHCP Process in This Scenario:

DHCP Server on R2:

The DHCP server is configured on interface GE0/0/0 of R2.

The address pool is an interface address pool, meaning that IP addresses are allocated from the subnet of GE0/0/0 (i.e., 10.0.12.0/24).

DHCP Clients on R1:

Both interfaces (GE0/0/0 and GE0/0/1) on R1 are set as DHCP clients, meaning they will send DHCP DISCOVER messages to obtain an IP address dynamically.

Why Only One Interface Gets an IP Address?

Interface address pools in Huawei devices assign only one IP address per MAC address (which is typically the router’s MAC).

Since both interfaces belong to R1, they share the same MAC address when making a DHCP request.

As a result, the DHCP server on R2 only assigns one IP address to the first requesting interface.

The second request is ignored or denied by the DHCP server due to the duplicate MAC address issue.

Key Takeaways:

Huawei routers using an interface-based DHCP address pool assign only one IP per MAC address.

Since both interfaces on R1 have the same MAC, only one gets an IP.

This behavior is expected in Huawei’s HCIP-Datacom-certified DHCP configurations.
