Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate — Question 16

Which two statements below are correct with respect to adding secondary Virtual Network Interface Cards (VNICs) to an existing compute instance in Oracle
Cloud Infrastructure? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The secondary VNIC is required to be in the same Virtual Cloud Network (VCN), but can be in different subnet, as the primary VNIC.
• B. The primary and secondary VNIC association can be in different virtual cloud networks (VCNs).
• C. You cannot assign an Ephemeral Public IP to a secondary VNIC.
• D. The primary and secondary VNIC association must be in the same availability domain.
• E. You can remove the primary VNIC after the secondary VNIC's attachment is complete.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because primary and secondary VNICs can indeed be in different VCNs. Option D is also correct as both VNICs must be in the same availability domain. The other options are incorrect because a secondary VNIC can be in a different subnet within the same VCN, an Ephemeral Public IP cannot be assigned to a secondary VNIC, and the primary VNIC cannot be removed while the secondary is attached.
