Which of the following statements about subnet planning is incorrect?
A.
Once a subnet has been created, its CIDR block cannot be modified.
B.
Subnets in a VPC can overlap with each other.
C.
A subnet is a range of IP addresses in your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). All of the resources in a VPC must be deployed in subnets.
D.
A subnet CIDR block must be in the range of the VPC.
The Answer Is:
B
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Option B is incorrect . Huawei Cloud explicitly requires subnet CIDR blocks within the same VPC to be unique and not overlap . Allowing overlapping subnets would make local route selection ambiguous and create address conflicts inside the VPC. Huawei's subnet definition therefore states that subnets in a VPC cannot overlap with each other.
Option A is correct for subnet planning: Huawei advises users to plan subnet address ranges carefully because a subnet's CIDR block cannot be changed after creation. This is why future capacity requirements should be considered before allocating subnet prefixes.
Option C is also consistent with Huawei's VPC definition. A subnet represents a unique CIDR block containing an IP address range inside a VPC, and VPC resources requiring private networking are deployed into these subnets. Option D is correct because the subnet CIDR must fall within the VPC's address range. Huawei's network-planning guidance explicitly states that the subnet CIDR block must be within the VPC CIDR block and that subnet CIDR blocks in the VPC must be unique.
Thus, the only incorrect planning statement is B .
