Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

• ✓

  Step 1: Create tunnel interface (interface tunnel0), Step 2: Configure tunnel source (tunnel source source-ip), Step 3: Configure tunnel destination (tunnel destination dest-ip), Step 4: Assign IP address (ip address ip mask)

  Why this is correct

  This is the correct order because the tunnel interface must exist first, then you define the source and destination for the tunnel, and finally assign an IP address to the tunnel interface to make it operational.

• ✗

  Step 1: Create tunnel interface, Step 2: Assign IP address, Step 3: Configure tunnel source, Step 4: Configure tunnel destination

  Why it's wrong here

  This is incorrect because assigning an IP address before configuring tunnel source and destination may lead to the tunnel being created without proper endpoints, causing connectivity issues.

• ✗

  Step 1: Configure tunnel destination, Step 2: Configure tunnel source, Step 3: Create tunnel interface, Step 4: Assign IP address

  Why it's wrong here

  This is incorrect because you cannot configure tunnel parameters (source/destination) before creating the tunnel interface; the interface must exist first.

• ✗

  Step 1: Assign IP address, Step 2: Create tunnel interface, Step 3: Configure tunnel source, Step 4: Configure tunnel destination

  Why it's wrong here

  This is incorrect because assigning an IP address to a non-existent interface is not possible, and the tunnel interface must be created before any configuration on it.
