Google Cloud Professional Cloud Network Engineer — Question 226

You are configuring HA VPN for your organization to connect your on-premises environment to your Google Cloud network. Your on-premises environment is closest to the us-west1 Google Cloud region. You have Google Cloud resources in us-west2, which requires a throughput of 300,000 packets per second (PPS) and an approximate bandwidth of 4 Gbps. You need to have predictable bandwidth management and maintain an SLA of 99.99% with minimal costs. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create an HA VPN gateway with two tunnels. Configure BGP on both tunnels with tunnel 0 configured with a base routing priority metric of 100 and tunnel 1 with a base routing priority metric of 200. Configure the on-premises router with the corresponding multi-exit discriminator (MED) value.
• B. Create two HA VPN gateways, each with two tunnels. Configure BGP on each of the gateways' tunnels with tunnel 0 configured with a base routing priority metric of 100 and tunnel 1 with a base routing priority metric of 100. Configure the on-premises router with the same corresponding multi-exit discriminator (MED) value.
• C. Create an HA VPN gateway with two tunnels. Configure BGP on both tunnels with tunnel 0 configured with a base routing priority metric of 100 and tunnel 1 with a base routing priority metric of 100. Configure the on-premises router with the corresponding multi-exit discriminator (MED) value.
• D. Create an HA VPN gateway with four tunnels. Configure BGP on four tunnels with tunnel 0 configured with a base routing priority metric of 100, tunnel 1 with a base routing priority metric of 200, tunnel 2 with a base routing priority of 300, and tunnel 3 with a base routing priority of 400. Configure the on-premises router with the corresponding multi-exit discriminator (MED) value.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, specifies the configuration of an HA VPN gateway with two tunnels and equal routing priorities, which ensures balanced traffic distribution and meets the specified throughput and bandwidth requirements. Option A introduces a higher priority for tunnel 1 that could lead to uneven traffic handling, while option B suggests too many gateways, increasing complexity and cost. Option D adds unnecessary tunnels and priority levels, complicating the setup without enhancing performance for the given requirements.
