Configuring Cloud Router

Objective 4.3 sits in Configuring and implementing hybrid and multicloud network interconnectivity, which carries 16% of the Cloud Network Engineer exam. The questions below are original, written from the official objective title above, and each explanation cites the Google Cloud page it rests on.

A worked example

Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.

4-3Configuring and implementing hybrid and multicloud network interconnectivity

An engineer adds a custom prefix to a Cloud Router and the on-premises router immediately loses the VPC subnet routes it had been receiving. What did that option do?

It advertises the listed ranges after the subnetsOrdering is not what changed for the peer here.
It advertises the listed ranges and omits subnetsCorrect · your answerCorrect. The choice is exclusive, not additive.
It replaces subnet MED values with the base priorityMetric values are a separate concern from what is sent.
It suppresses advertisement outside the local regionRegional scope is governed by the dynamic routing mode.

Correct.

Concept

An option phrased as adding something can be exclusive rather than additive, and choosing it silently withdraws everything it does not name.

Why B

Advertising only custom IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes sends just the ranges specified and omits subnet ranges, whereas a separate option adds custom prefixes alongside them.

Source

Advertise only custom IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes : this option advertises only the IP address ranges you specify, omitting subnet ranges. The advertised MED always matches the configured base priority of the BGP session.

Now you: objective 4.3 questions

No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.

Sample question 1 of 3

4-3Configuring and implementing hybrid and multicloud network interconnectivity

A Cloud Router runs custom advertisement, and a team then sets custom advertisement on one of its BGP sessions as well. Which configuration applies on that session?

Sample question 2 of 3

4-3Configuring and implementing hybrid and multicloud network interconnectivity

A VPC network uses global dynamic routing and a team sets a base priority of 100 on a BGP session. What MED does a subnet range from another region carry?

Sample question 3 of 3

4-3Configuring and implementing hybrid and multicloud network interconnectivity

A team enables IPv6 on a dual-stack HA VPN and finds that the external IPv6 subnet range never reaches the peer. How can that range be advertised?
