Question 500
An AWS network engineer must address this specific condition: A dynamic-routing Site-to-Site VPN has established tunnels but an on-premises router never advertises its branch subnet. Which implementation or operational change BEST meets the requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Tunnel health alone does not create a routing advertisement for an omitted customer network. Confirm the change by checking that the AWS gateway receives the branch prefix and return traffic reaches the branch.
Incorrect Answers
Gateway attachments are route targets; incorrect associations can blackhole return flows despite healthy tunnels. It does not directly achieve the required result: the AWS gateway receives the branch prefix and return traffic reaches the branch. The constraint is that tunnel health alone does not create a routing advertisement for an omitted customer network.
Negotiation fails when peers cannot agree on an acceptable cryptographic security association. The needed control instead targets BGP path exchange depends on explicitly advertising desired on-premises prefixes to the AWS VPN neighbor; it succeeds when the AWS gateway receives the branch prefix and return traffic reaches the branch.
Overbroad BGP originations can redirect corporate traffic beyond intended AWS destinations. That adjustment does not address the controlling condition: tunnel health alone does not create a routing advertisement for an omitted customer network. Verify the AWS gateway receives the branch prefix and return traffic reaches the branch.
