Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Define customer gateway, then create VPN connection, then apply VPN configuration to Cisco ASA, then verify tunnel status, then configure routing.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because the customer gateway must be defined first to represent the on-premises device, then the VPN connection is created in AWS, followed by applying the configuration to the ASA to establish the tunnel, verifying the tunnel is up, and finally configuring routing to direct traffic through the tunnel.
- ✗
Create VPN connection, then define customer gateway, then apply configuration, then verify tunnel, then configure routing.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the customer gateway must be defined before creating the VPN connection, as the VPN connection references the customer gateway.
- ✗
Define customer gateway, then create VPN connection, then verify tunnel, then apply configuration, then configure routing.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the VPN configuration must be applied to the Cisco ASA before the tunnel can be verified; verifying before applying is impossible.
- ✗
Define customer gateway, then apply configuration, then create VPN connection, then verify tunnel, then configure routing.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the VPN connection must be created in AWS before applying the configuration to the on-premises device; the configuration is generated based on the VPN connection.
