Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 628
Select 4Google Cloud PlatformYour organization is planning to set up a high-speed, private connection between their on-premises data center and Google Cloud. The team has decided to use Dedicated Interconnect. Which of the following are critical considerations when configuring Cloud Interconnect?
- A
Ensuring the on-premises router supports BGP for routing
- B
Selecting a VLAN attachment size based on anticipated bandwidth needs
- C
Verifying that the on-premises location is within 100 miles of a Google Cloud Interconnect location
- D
Configuring a redundant Interconnect connection for high availability
- E
Setting up external HTTPS load balancers before configuring the Interconnect
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, D
Explanation
When configuring Cloud Interconnect, it is essential to evaluate technical requirements such as routing protocols like BGP, bandwidth needs (VLAN attachment size), physical proximity to Google Interconnect locations, and redundancy for high availability. These considerations ensure a reliable and efficient connection. Setting up load balancers, while important for some use cases, is not a critical step in configuring Cloud Interconnect.
- A. Correct.
Correct. BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is required for routing between on-premises and Google Cloud when using Dedicated Interconnect.
- B. Correct.
Correct. VLAN attachment size determines the capacity allocated for traffic and should align with bandwidth requirements.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Dedicated Interconnect requires the on-premises location to be within 100 miles of a Google Interconnect location to ensure connectivity.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Redundant connections are critical for high availability and to avoid single points of failure.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. External HTTPS load balancers are not directly related to configuring Cloud Interconnect. Load balancing is a separate step and not a prerequisite for setting up Interconnect.
