AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C01) — Question 119

A network engineer needs to provide dual-stack connectivity between a company's office location and an AWS account. The company's on-premises router supports dual-stack connectivity, and the VPC has been configured with dual-stack support. The company has set up two AWS Direct Connect connections to the office location. This connectivity must be highly available and must be reliable for latency-sensitive traffic.

Which solutions will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Configure a single private VIF on each Direct Connect connection. Add both IPv4 and IPv6 peering to each private VIF. Configure the on- premises equipment with the AWS provided BGP neighbors to advertise IPv4 routes on the IPv4 peering and IPv6 routes on the IPv6 peering. Enable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on all peering sessions.
• B. Configure two private VIFs on each Direct Connect connection: one private VIF with the IPv4 address family and one private VIF with the IPv6 address family. Configure the on-premises equipment with the AWS provided BGP neighbors to advertise IPv4 routes on the IPv4 peering and IPv6 routes on the IPv6 peering. Enable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on all peering sessions.
• C. Configure a single private VIF and IPv4 peering on each Direct Connect connection. Configure the on-premises equipment with this peering to advertise the IPv6 routes in the same BGP neighbor configuration. Enable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on all peering sessions.
• D. Configure two private VIFs on each Direct Connect connection: one private VIF with the IPv4 address family and one private VIF with the IPv6 address family. Configure the on-premises equipment with the AWS provided BGP neighbors to advertise all IPv4 routes and IPv6 routes on all peering sessions. Keep the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) configuration unchanged.
• E. Configure two private VIFs on each Direct Connect connection: one private VIF with the IPv4 address family and one private VIF with the IPv6 address family. Configure the on-premises equipment with the AWS provided BGP neighbors to advertise IPv4 routes on the IPv4 peering and IPv6 routes on the IPv6 peering. Reduce the BGP hello timer to 5 seconds on both the on-premises equipment and the Direct Connect configuration.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Answer A is correct because it allows for dual-stack connectivity by using a single private VIF for both IPv4 and IPv6 while implementing BFD for enhanced reliability. Answer B is also correct as it provides separate private VIFs for both IPv4 and IPv6, ensuring redundancy and reliability. The other options either do not fully utilize the dual-stack capability or lack proper configuration for high availability.
