You are implementing hybrid connectivity between your company's data center and Google Cloud. You've already deployed redundant Dedicated Interconnect connections, and are now deploying VLAN…

Question

Options

• A
  1. Configure the primary interconnect-1 BGP session on the Cloud Router with priority 0 and ASN
• B
  1. Configure the primary interconnect-1 BGP session on the Cloud Router with priority 0.
• C
  1. Configure the primary and secondary interconnects of the BGP sessions on the Cloud Router
• D
  1. Configure the primary and secondary interconnects of the BGP sessions on the Cloud Router

• A
  12% (8)
• B
  76% (50)
• C
  5% (3)
• D
  8% (5)

Explanation

For an active/passive Dedicated Interconnect setup with Cloud Router BGP, Google recommends configuring each VLAN attachment's BGP session with distinct advertised route priorities. A lower priority value (0 being highest preference) tells on-premises routers to prefer that path. Configuring interconnect-1 with priority 0 (active) and interconnect-2 with a higher priority number (e.g., 200, passive) achieves active/passive failover. Option A is incorrect because it improperly combines ASN with the priority setting-ASN is a router-level attribute, not per-session. Options C and D configure both sessions identically, which creates an active/active setup rather than active/passive.
