Google Cloud Professional Cloud Network Engineer — Question 63

You have configured a Compute Engine virtual machine instance as a NAT gateway. You execute the following command: gcloud compute routes create no-ip-internet-route \
--network custom-network1 \
--destination-range 0.0.0.0/0 \
--next-hop instance nat-gateway \
--next-hop instance-zone us-central1-a \
--tags no-ip --priority 800
You want existing instances to use the new NAT gateway.
Which command should you execute?

Answer options

• A. sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
• B. gcloud compute instances add-tags [existing-instance] --tags no-ip
• C. gcloud builds submit --config=cloudbuild.waml --substitutions=TAG_NAME=no-ip
• D. gcloud compute instances create example-instance --network custom-network1 \ --subnet subnet-us-central \ --no-address \ --zone us-central1-a \ --image-family debian-9 \ --image-project debian-cloud \ --tags no-ip

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because adding the 'no-ip' tag to existing instances allows them to utilize the NAT gateway configured with that same tag. Option A is incorrect as it pertains to enabling IP forwarding but does not connect instances to the NAT gateway. Option C is unrelated to instance tagging and focuses on building processes. Option D creates a new instance rather than modifying existing ones to access the NAT gateway.
