Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Provision Direct Connect connections, then create virtual interfaces (VIFs), then configure BGP, then tune routing, then test failover.
First provision the connections, then create VIFs, configure BGP, tune routing, then test failover.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Provision Direct Connect connections, then create virtual interfaces (VIFs), then configure BGP, then tune routing, then test failover.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because physical connections must be provisioned first, then VIFs created on them, BGP configured to establish routing, routing tuned to influence traffic, and finally failover tested to validate redundancy.
- ✗
Create virtual interfaces (VIFs), then provision Direct Connect connections, then configure BGP, then tune routing, then test failover.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because VIFs cannot be created without existing Direct Connect connections; physical connectivity must be in place first.
- ✗
Provision Direct Connect connections, then configure BGP, then create virtual interfaces (VIFs), then tune routing, then test failover.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because BGP configuration requires a VIF to associate with; you cannot configure BGP before creating the VIF.
- ✗
Provision Direct Connect connections, then create virtual interfaces (VIFs), then test failover, then configure BGP, then tune routing.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because failover testing requires BGP to be configured and routing tuned; without those, failover cannot be properly validated.
