Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
To authenticate OCI console users via single sign-on.
Why it's wrong here
Console authentication is managed via IAM and Identity Providers (IDP).
- ✗
To encrypt all payloads traversing the FastConnect physical fiber.
Why it's wrong here
ASNs do not provide encryption; encryption is handled by MACsec or IPsec.
- ✗
To assign public IP addresses to OCI compute instances.
Why it's wrong here
Compute IP addresses are assigned via VCN subnet configurations.
- ✓
To uniquely identify routing domains and enable dynamic exchange of network routes between OCI and on-premises routers.
Why this is correct
ASNs are mandatory identifiers for establishing BGP peering and route advertisement.
