A company is moving its record-keeping application to the AWS Cloud. All traffic between the company's on-premises data center and AWS must be encrypted at all times and at every transit device during the migration.

The application will reside across multiple Availability Zones in a single AWS Region. The application will use existing 10 Gbps AWS Direct Connect dedicated connections with a MACsec capable port. A network engineer must ensure that the Direct Connect connection is secured accordingly at every transit device.

The network engineer creates a Connection Key Name and Connectivity Association Key (CKN/CAK) pair for the MACsec secret key.

Which combination of additional steps should the network engineer take to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)

  1. Configure the on-premises router with the MACsec secret key.
  2. Update the connection's MACsec encryption mode to must_encrypt. Then associate the CKN/CAK pair with the connection.
  3. Update the connection's MACsec encryption mode to should encrypt. Then associate the CKN/CAK pair with the connection.
  4. Associate the CKN/CAK pair with the connection. Then update the connection's MACsec encryption mode to must_encrypt.
  5. Associate the CKN/CAK pair with the connection. Then update the connection’s MACsec encryption mode to should_encrypt.

Answer(s): A,D



A network engineer is designing hybrid connectivity with AWS Direct Connect and AWS Transit Gateway. A transit gateway is attached to a Direct Connect gateway and 19 VPCs across different AWS accounts. Two new VPCs are being attached to the transit gateway. The IP address administrator has assigned 10.0.32.0/21 to the first VPC and 10.0.40.0/21 to the second VPC. The prefix list has one CIDR block remaining before the prefix list reaches the quota for the maximum number of entries.

What should the network engineer do to advertise the routes from AWS to on premises to meet these requirements?

  1. Add 10.0.32.0/21 and 10.0.40.0/21 to both AWS managed prefix lists.
  2. Add 10.0.32.0/21 and 10.0.40.0/21 to the allowed prefix list.
  3. Add 10.0.32.0/20 to both AWS managed prefix lists.
  4. Add 10.0.32.0/20 to the allowed prefix list.

Answer(s): D



Two companies are merging. The companies have a large AWS presence with multiple VPCs and are designing connectivity between their AWS networks. Both companies are using AWS Direct Connect with a Direct Connect gateway. Each company also has a transit gateway and multiple AWS Site-to-Site VPN connections from its transit gateway to on-premises resources. The new solution must optimize network visibility, throughput, logging, and monitoring.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Configure a Site-to-Site VPN connection between each company's transit gateway to establish reachability between the respective networks. Configure VPC Flow Logs for all VPCs. Publish the flow logs to Amazon CloudWatch. Use VPC Reachability Analyzer to monitor connectivity.
  2. Configure a Site-to-Site VPN connection between each company's transit gateway to establish reachability between the respective networks. Configure VPC Flow Logs for all VPCs. Publish the flow logs to Amazon CloudWatch. Use AWS Transit Gateway Network Manager to monitor the transit gateways and their respective connections.
  3. Configure transit gateway peering between each company's transit gateway. Configure VPC Flow Logs for all VPCs. Publish the flow logs to Amazon CloudWatch. Use VPC Reachability Analyzer to monitor connectivity.
  4. Configure transit gateway peering between each company's transit gateway. Configure VPC Flow Logs for all VPCs. Publish the flow logs to Amazon CloudWatch. Use AWS Transit Gateway Network Manager to monitor the transit gateways, their respective connections, and the transit gateway peering link.

Answer(s): D



A company has a single VPC in the us-east-1 Region. The company is planning to set up a new VPC in the us-east-2 Region. The existing VPC has an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection to the company's on-premises environment and uses a virtual private gateway.

A network engineer needs to implement a solution to establish connectivity between the existing VPC and the new VPC. The solution also must implement support for IPv6 for the new VPC. The company has new on-premises resources that need to connect to VPC resources by using IPv6 addresses.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Create a new virtual private gateway in us-east-1. Attach the new virtual private gateway to the new VPC. Create two new Site-to-Site VPN connections to the new virtual private gateway with IPv4 and IPv6 support. Configure routing between the VPCs by using VPC peering.
  2. Create a transit gateway in us-east-1 and in us-east-2. Attach the existing VPC and the new VPC to each transit gateway. Create a new Site-to-Site VPN connection to each transit gateway with IPv4 and IPv6 support. Configure transit gateway peering. Configure routing between the VPCs and the on-premises environment.
  3. Create a new virtual private gateway in us-east-2. Attach the new virtual private gateway to the new VPCreate two new Site-to-Site VPN connections to the new virtual private gateway with IPv4 and IPv6 support. Configure routing between the VPCs by using VPC peering.
  4. Create a transit gateway in us-east-1. Attach the existing VPC and the new VPC to the transit gateway. Create two new Site-to-Site VPN connections to the transit gateway with IPv4 and IPv6 support. Configure transit gateway peering. Configure routing between the VPCs and the on-premises environment.

Answer(s): B



A network engineer is working on a private DNS design to integrate AWS workloads and on-premises resources. The AWS deployment consists of five VPCs in the eu-west-1 Region that connect to the on-premises network over AWS Direct Connect. The VPCs communicate with each other by using a transit gateway. Each VPC is associated with a private hosted zone that uses the aws.example.internal domain. The network engineer creates an Amazon Route 53 Resolver outbound endpoint in a shared services VPC and attaches the shared services VPC to the transit gateway.

The network engineer is implementing a solution for DNS resolution. Queries for hostnames that end with aws.example.internal must use the private hosted zone. Queries for hostnames that end with all other domains must be forwarded to a private on-premises DNS resolver.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Add a forwarding rule for “*” that targets the on-premises server's DNS IP address. Add a system rule for aws.example.internal that targets Route 53 Resolver.
  2. Add a forwarding rule for aws.example.internal that targets Route 53 Resolver. Add a system rule for “.” that targets the Route 53 Resolver outbound endpoint.
  3. Add a forwarding rule for “*” that targets the Route 53 Resolver outbound endpoint.
  4. Add a forwarding rule for “.” that targets the Route 53 Resolver outbound endpoint.
