Question 680
In an AWS networking assessment, a Direct Connect gateway is attached to a virtual private gateway and an operator lists a /24 narrower than the VPC /16. Which technical explanation BEST accounts for the observed condition?
Explanation
Correct Answer
VGW allowed-prefix filters cannot force unsupported more-specific VPC routes to appear in BGP. This explains the observed network behavior, which can be checked by verifying that the corporate router learns the full intended VPC CIDR after correcting the filter.
Incorrect Answers
Owning the Transit Gateway does not automatically grant authority to attach another account's Direct Connect gateway. That property alone cannot account for the reported symptom; vGW allowed-prefix filters cannot force unsupported more-specific VPC routes to appear in BGP.
Transit VIF connectivity targets Transit Gateway associations instead of directly attaching every individual VPC. The decisive technical distinction is for virtual private gateway associations, allowed prefixes filter VPC CIDRs and cannot advertise an unmatched narrower CIDR; vGW allowed-prefix filters cannot force unsupported more-specific VPC routes to appear in BGP.
The virtual interface type determines whether connectivity targets private VPC addresses or public AWS endpoints. The decisive technical distinction is for virtual private gateway associations, allowed prefixes filter VPC CIDRs and cannot advertise an unmatched narrower CIDR; vGW allowed-prefix filters cannot force unsupported more-specific VPC routes to appear in BGP.
