Question 230
An AWS network engineer must address this specific condition: A central inspection architecture must discard traffic to a prohibited CIDR even if a broad propagated route exists. Which implementation or operational change BEST meets the requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A targeted blackhole route prevents forwarding to otherwise reachable next hops for its matching destination. Confirm the change by checking that traffic to the prohibited prefix is dropped while permitted destinations remain reachable.
Incorrect Answers
Central hubs still have finite limits; simply adding spokes cannot exceed those boundaries safely. The needed control instead targets Transit Gateway blackhole routes can explicitly drop traffic for selected destination prefixes; it succeeds when traffic to the prohibited prefix is dropped while permitted destinations remain reachable.
An attached gateway cannot redirect VPC packets that lack a subnet route targeting the attachment. The needed control instead targets Transit Gateway blackhole routes can explicitly drop traffic for selected destination prefixes; it succeeds when traffic to the prohibited prefix is dropped while permitted destinations remain reachable.
Each peer must route the remote CIDR explicitly; peering does not act as a universal router. It does not directly achieve the required result: traffic to the prohibited prefix is dropped while permitted destinations remain reachable. The constraint is that a targeted blackhole route prevents forwarding to otherwise reachable next hops for its matching destination.
