Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer Exam - Topic 4 Question 71 Discussion

You have the networking configuration shown in the diagram. A pair of redundant Dedicated Interconnect connections (int-Igal and int-Iga2) terminate on the same Cloud Router The Interconnect connections terminate on two separate on-premises routers. You are advertising the same prefixes from the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) sessions associated with the Dedicated Interconnect connections. You need to configure one connection as Active for both ingress and egress traffic. If the active Interconnect connection fails, you want the passive Interconnect connection to automatically begin routing all traffic Which two actions should you take to meet this requirement? (Choose Two)
C) Configure the advertised route priority as 200 for the BGP session associated Wlth the active Interconnect connection. and E) Advertise a lower MED on the active Interconnect connection from the on-premises router
A) Configure the advertised route priority > 10,200 on the active Interconnect connection.
B) Advertise a lower MED on the passive Interconnect connection from the on-premises router
D) Configure the advertised route priority as 200 for the BGP session associated With the passive Interconnect connection.

You have the networking configuration shown in the diagram. A pair of redundant Dedicated Interconnect connections (int-Igal and int-Iga2) terminate on the same Cloud Router The Interconnect connections terminate on two separate on-premises routers. You are advertising the same prefixes from the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) sessions associated with the Dedicated Interconnect connections. You need to configure one connection as Active for both ingress and egress traffic. If the active Interconnect connection fails, you want the passive Interconnect connection to automatically begin routing all traffic Which two actions should you take to meet this requirement? (Choose Two)

Suggested Answer: C, E

This answer meets the requirement of configuring one connection as Active for both ingress and egress traffic, and enabling automatic failover to the passive connection in case of failure. The reason is:

The advertised route priority is a value that Cloud Router uses to set the route priority when advertising routes to your on-premises router.The lower the value, the higher the priority1.By setting the advertised route priority as 200 for the active connection, you ensure that it has a higher priority than the passive connection, which has the default value of 1001. This way, your on-premises router will prefer the routes from the active connection over the passive one for ingress traffic.

The MED (Multi-Exit Discriminator) is a value that your on-premises router uses to indicate its preference for receiving traffic from Cloud Router.The lower the value, the higher the preference2. By advertising a lower MED on the active connection from your on-premises router, you ensure that Cloud Router will prefer sending traffic to the active connection over the passive one for egress traffic.

If the active connection fails, Cloud Router will stop receiving routes from it and will start using the routes from the passive connection for egress traffic. Similarly, your on-premises router will stop receiving routes with priority 200 from the active connection and will start using the routes with priority 100 from the passive connection for ingress traffic. This achieves automatic failover without any manual intervention.

Option A is incorrect because setting the advertised route priority > 10,200 on the active connection would deprioritize it globally in your VPC network, which is not what you want1.Option B is incorrect because advertising a lower MED on the passive connection would make Cloud Router prefer sending traffic to it over the active one, which is not what you want2.Option D is incorrect because setting the advertised route priority as 200 for both connections would make them equally preferred by your on-premises router, which is not what you want1.

I think configuring the advertised route priority > 10,200 is also important.

Wait, why would you want a lower MED on the passive connection? Seems off.

You need to set the route priority for the active connection to 200.

I’m confused about the MED and priority settings. Should we really be adjusting the passive connection’s priority instead of the active one?

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like configuring the advertised route priority on the active connection is crucial. But which option was it again?

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about MED values affecting route selection. Maybe we should lower the MED on the passive connection?

I think we need to set the advertised route priority for the active connection to something higher, like 200, to ensure it’s preferred.

From what I understand, the route priority controls the preference for the route, while the MED is used to influence the exit point selection. So we want to set a higher priority on the active connection and a lower MED on the passive one.

I'm a bit confused about the difference between route priority and MED. Can someone clarify which one we should focus on for the active vs. passive connections?

Based on the options, it looks like we need to configure the advertised route priority on the active connection and advertise a lower MED on the passive connection. That should do the trick.

Okay, let me think through this step-by-step. We need to configure one Interconnect connection as active for both ingress and egress traffic, and have the passive connection automatically take over if the active one fails.

Honestly, I'm a bit confused. I thought VMTracer supported multi-tenancy, but I can't recall the specifics on how it does that. D seems like a possibility but I'm hesitant.
