AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 584

To get started using AWS Direct Connect, in which of the following steps do you configure Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)?

Answer options

• A. Complete the Cross Connect
• B. Configure Redundant Connections with AWS Direct Connect
• C. Create a Virtual Interface
• D. Download Router Configuration

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is configured during the step where you create a Virtual Interface (VIF), which can be private, public, or transit. This step establishes the routing configuration necessary for traffic to flow between your on-premises network and AWS. The other steps, such as completing the physical cross-connect or downloading the router configuration, occur either before or after this logical routing setup is defined.
