Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Question 660
Select 3Google Cloud PlatformYou are tasked with configuring an HA VPN connection between your on-premises data center and your Google Cloud environment. To ensure high availability and fault tolerance, which of the following configurations should you implement?
- A
Create two VPN tunnels from the same Cloud VPN gateway to two separate on-premises VPN gateways.
- B
Use BGP to configure dynamic routing for all VPN tunnels.
- C
Associate the HA VPN gateway with two separate external IP addresses.
- D
Place both VPN tunnels in the same region and subnet for simplicity.
- E
Enable route-based VPN for all tunnels to support dynamic routing.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, C, E
Explanation
To configure an HA VPN connection for high availability and fault tolerance, you must use BGP for dynamic routing, assign two external IP addresses to the HA VPN gateway (one for each interface), and enable route-based VPN to support dynamic routing. These steps ensure redundancy, automatic failover, and efficient traffic management. Configurations like placing tunnels in the same region or connecting to two separate on-premises VPN gateways do not align with Google's HA VPN best practices.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While you need two VPN tunnels for high availability, they must terminate on different interfaces of the same HA VPN gateway, not two separate on-premises VPN gateways. This configuration is not aligned with HA VPN's design.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Using BGP for dynamic routing with HA VPN ensures that routes are automatically updated, which is critical for maintaining high availability and fault tolerance.
- C. Correct.
Correct: HA VPN gateways use two external IP addresses (one for each interface) to ensure redundancy. This is a key component of HA VPN's architecture.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Both VPN tunnels must be spread across separate subnets and regions to achieve high availability and avoid a single point of failure. Placing them in the same region and subnet does not meet HA VPN's requirements.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Route-based VPN is required for HA VPN as it supports dynamic routing protocols like BGP, ensuring proper failover and traffic distribution.
