20+ practice questions focused on Implementing Hybrid Interconnectivity — one of the most tested topics on the Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Implementing Hybrid Interconnectivity PracticeA company wants to connect their on-premises network to Google Cloud with a Dedicated Interconnect. They have already ordered a cross-connect from their co-location facility to a Google Point of Presence (PoP). What is the NEXT step to establish the connection?
Explanation: After the physical cross-connect is in place, the next step is to create a VLAN attachment in the Cloud Console or via gcloud. The VLAN attachment is the logical construct that represents the connection between the on-premises router and the Cloud Router.
An organization is connecting their on-premises data center to Google Cloud via Partner Interconnect. The partner offers both Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity options. The organization wants to manage their own BGP sessions and IP addressing. Which connectivity option should they choose?
Explanation: With Layer 2, the service provider delivers a transparent VLAN, and the customer manages the BGP session with Google Cloud Router. Layer 3 would mean the partner manages the routing, which is not desired here.
A company has deployed an HA VPN gateway in Google Cloud to connect to their on-premises network. They have configured two tunnels with IKEv2 and BGP. One tunnel is established, but the second tunnel is not coming up. What could be a likely cause?
Explanation: Common issues include mismatched pre-shared keys or IKE versions. Since the first tunnel works, the configuration is mostly correct, but the second tunnel may have a different pre-shared key or PSK mismatch. Incorrect IKE version is less likely because both tunnels use the same gateway. BGP timers are usually consistent. Cloud VPN logs would help identify the root cause.
A company has two Dedicated Interconnect connections from different metro areas to Google Cloud. Both connections are active and they want to use both simultaneously for load balancing traffic. They have configured two VLAN attachments each with a Cloud Router and BGP sessions. How should they configure BGP to achieve active-active load sharing?
Explanation: Equal-cost multipath (ECMP) requires that the routes from both connections have the same next-hop attribute and are learned via different BGP sessions. By default, Cloud Router advertises the same routes with the same MED and AS path. To enable ECMP, the on-premises router must be configured to accept multiple equal-cost paths. The Cloud Router will automatically advertise routes with identical attributes when using separate VLAN attachments, and the on-premises router can then load balance.
An engineer needs to set up DNS resolution for on-premises resources from Google Cloud. They want to resolve a custom domain (e.g., corp.example.com) using on-premises DNS servers. Which Cloud DNS feature should they use?
Explanation: DNS forwarding zones in Cloud DNS allow you to forward queries for a specific domain to a set of on-premises DNS server IPs. This is achieved by creating a forwarding zone with the target name servers pointing to the on-premises DNS servers.
