Question

A company has deployed a software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) solution to interconnect all of its offices. The company is migrating workloads to AWS and needs to extend its SD-WAN solution to support connectivity to these workloads. A network engineer plans to deploy AWS Transit Gateway Connect and two SD-WAN virtual appliances to provide this connectivity. According to company policies, only a single SD-WAN virtual appliance can handle traffic from AWS workloads at a given time. How should the network engineer configure routing to meet these requirements?

Options

  • AAdd a static default route in the transit gateway route table to point to the secondary SD-WAN
  • BConfigure the BGP community tag 7224:7300 on the primary SD-WAN virtual appliance for BGP
  • CConfigure the AS_PATH prepend attribute on the secondary SD-WAN virtual appliance for BGP
  • DDisable equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) routing on the transit gateway for Transit Gateway
