AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 799

In which step of "start using AWS Direct Connect" steps is the virtual interface you created tagged with a customer-provided tag that complies with the Ethernet
802.1Q standard?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

During the 'Create a Virtual Interface' step of setting up AWS Direct Connect, you must provision a virtual interface and assign it a VLAN ID that complies with the Ethernet 802.1Q standard. Other steps, such as downloading the router configuration or completing the physical cross-connect, occur at different stages of the deployment and do not involve configuring this 802.1Q tag.
