In Huawei CloudFabric design, M-LAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation) is widely used to provide active-active forwarding and high availability at the access and border layers. When border leaf nodes are deployed in an M-LAG pair, they typically connect to upstream PE (Provider Edge) devices in a dual-homing (square topology) manner, ensuring both link-level and device-level redundancy.

However, Huawei design guidelines clearly state that an interconnection link (commonly called a peer-link or bypass link) between M-LAG devices is mandatory. This link is essential for synchronization of forwarding states, MAC address tables, ARP/ND entries, and control plane information between the two devices. It also ensures proper traffic forwarding in failure scenarios, such as when one device loses its uplinks but remains operational.

Without this peer-link, traffic consistency and loop prevention mechanisms cannot function correctly, leading to potential traffic loss or loops. Therefore, even in dual-egress scenarios with PE devices, the bypass/peer link is still required.

Hence, the statement is FALSE.
