Question 13

Question#13Topic1

You want to deploy a VPN Gateway to connect your on-premises network to GCP. You are using a non BGP-capable on-premises VPN device. You want to minimize downtime and operational overhead when your network grows. The device supports only IKEv2, and you want to follow Google-recommended practices.
What should you do?

  1. A. "¢ Create a Cloud VPN instance. "¢ Create a policy-based VPN tunnel per subnet. "¢ Configure the appropriate local and remote traffic selectors to match your local and remote networks. "¢ Create the appropriate static routes.
  2. B. "¢ Create a Cloud VPN instance. "¢ Create a policy-based VPN tunnel. "¢ Configure the appropriate local and remote traffic selectors to match your local and remote networks. "¢ Configure the appropriate static routes.
  3. C. "¢ Create a Cloud VPN instance. "¢ Create a route-based VPN tunnel. "¢ Configure the appropriate local and remote traffic selectors to match your local and remote networks. "¢ Configure the appropriate static routes.
  4. D. "¢ Create a Cloud VPN instance. "¢ Create a route-based VPN tunnel. "¢ Configure the appropriate local and remote traffic selectors to 0.0.0.0/0. "¢ Configure the appropriate static routes.
Show answer and explanation

Answer

B

Explanation

The IKEv1 protocol only supports a single CIDR per Child SA as defined in RFC 2407 and RFC 2409. Because Cloud VPN requires a single Child SA per VPN tunnel, when you use IKEv1, you can only supply a single CIDR for the local traffic selector and a single CIDR for the remote traffic selector. When you create a policy-based Classic VPN tunnel, if you use IKEv2, you can specify multiple CIDRs per traffic selector. Cloud VPN always uses a single Child Security Association (SA), regardless of IKE version. https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/vpn/concepts/choosing-networks-routing#ts-ip-ranges

Question 14

Question#14Topic1

Your company just completed the acquisition of Altostrat (a current GCP customer). Each company has a separate organization in GCP and has implemented a custom DNS solution. Each organization will retain its current domain and host names until after a full transition and architectural review is done in one year.
These are the assumptions for both GCP environments.
'¢ Each organization has enabled full connectivity between all of its projects by using Shared VPC.
'¢ Both organizations strictly use the 10.0.0.0/8 address space for their instances, except for bastion hosts (for accessing the instances) and load balancers for serving web traffic.
'¢ There are no prefix overlaps between the two organizations.
'¢ Both organizations already have firewall rules that allow all inbound and outbound traffic from the 10.0.0.0/8 address space.
'¢ Neither organization has Interconnects to their on-premises environment.
You want to integrate networking and DNS infrastructure of both organizations as quickly as possible and with minimal downtime.
Which two steps should you take? (Choose two.)

  1. A. Provision Cloud Interconnect to connect both organizations together.
  2. B. Set up some variant of DNS forwarding and zone transfers in each organization.
  3. C. Connect VPCs in both organizations using Cloud VPN together with Cloud Router.
  4. D. Use Cloud DNS to create A records of all VMs and resources across all projects in both organizations.
  5. E. Create a third organization with a new host project, and attach all projects from your company and Altostrat to it using shared VPC.

Question 15

Question#15Topic1

Your on-premises data center has 2 routers connected to your Google Cloud environment through a VPN on each router. All applications are working correctly; however, all of the traffic is passing across a single VPN instead of being load-balanced across the 2 connections as desired.
During troubleshooting you find:
'¢ Each on-premises router is configured with a unique ASN.
'¢ Each on-premises router is configured with the same routes and priorities.
'¢ Both on-premises routers are configured with a VPN connected to a single Cloud Router.
'¢ BGP sessions are established between both on-premises routers and the Cloud Router.
'¢ Only 1 of the on-premises router's routes are being added to the routing table.
What is the most likely cause of this problem?

  1. A. The on-premises routers are configured with the same routes.
  2. B. A firewall is blocking the traffic across the second VPN connection.
  3. C. You do not have a load balancer to load-balance the network traffic.
  4. D. The ASNs being used on the on-premises routers are different.
