300-415 · Question #394
QUESTION 450 Refer to the exhibit. The network design team has advised to use private IP addresses and private colors over the SP circuit for the data plane connections. The Public IP should be used…
The correct answer is A. vpn 0 interface ge0/0 description *** TO ISP CID 64:ff9b:1:4376:65ff:34ff:21ff:9c7f *** tunnel-interface encapsulation ipsec color biz-internet group 100. To configure data plane connections using private IP addresses and colors over an SP circuit, with public IPs for control, the tunnel interface must be defined in VPN 0 with IPSec encapsulation and a suitable transport color.

Why each option
To configure data plane connections using private IP addresses and colors over an SP circuit, with public IPs for control, the tunnel interface must be defined in VPN 0 with IPSec encapsulation and a suitable transport color.
Configuring the interface in `vpn 0` with `tunnel-interface` and `encapsulation ipsec` correctly sets up the secure data plane connection over the transport. Although `biz-internet` is a standard public color, it can be used to categorize a dedicated internet-like service provided by an SP even with a private underlay IP, aligning with the intent for data plane over private IPs and implying a 'private' transport context.
`color mpls` is another standard public color; while functional, `biz-internet` is often chosen for dedicated internet-like circuits provided by an SP, even if the IPs are private.
`color custom1` is a private/custom color, which explicitly matches the 'private colors' requirement, but option A represents a more common and broadly applicable tunnel configuration for the described scenario.
`color group1` is a custom color; similar to option C, it meets the 'private colors' criteria but does not provide a technically superior configuration over option A in this context.
