Question
A company has VPCs in the us-east-1 Region that are connected to each other through a transit gateway. A network engineer needs to establish an AWS Direct Connect connection between the company's on-premises data center and the transit gateway for the migration of a workload. The Direct Connect connection is UP according to the ConnectionState metric in Amazon CloudWatch. However, the VIF is DOWN. The network engineer has verified the transit VIF and BGP configurations on the on-premises router and has found no issues. However, the network engineer is unable to ping the Amazon peer IP address. Which combination of steps should the network engineer take to troubleshoot this issue? (Choose three.)
Options
- AVerify that the correct IP address and subnet mask are in use for the subinterface on the router.
- BEnsure that VLAN trunking is disabled on the router.
- CVerify that the router has a MAC address entry from the AWS endpoint in the Address Resolution
- DVerify that the optical signal that is received over the cross connect is optimal.
- EEnsure that the correct VLAN tag is applied on the subinterface configuration on the router.
- FEnsure that TCP port 179 is not being blocked at the on-premises router.

Explanation
The IP address and subnet mask configuration on the router's subinterface must match the configuration provided by AWS for the virtual interface (VIF). A mismatch will prevent successful communication between the on-premises router and AWS. A MAC address entry in the ARP table is essential for Layer 2 connectivity. If the AWS endpoint's MAC address is not visible in the ARP table, it could indicate a connectivity or VLAN tagging The correct VLAN tag must be configured for the subinterface because AWS Direct Connect requires VLAN tagging to separate traffic between different virtual interfaces.
