Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to create a custom route in GCP that directs traffic to a specific instance.

GCP

gcloud compute routes create my-route --network default --destination-range [1] --next-hop-instance my-instance --next-hop-instance-zone us-central1-a

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A10.0.0.0/24

B192.168.1.0/16

C172.16.0.0/12

D0.0.0.0/0

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a destination range that is too narrow for the intended traffic.

Forgetting to specify the next hop instance.

The destination range 0.0.0.0/0 routes all traffic through the specified next hop instance.

Complete the code to list all routes in the default network.

GCP

gcloud compute routes list --filter='network:[1]'

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect network names that do not exist.

Omitting the filter and getting too many results.

The default network is the standard network where routes are often listed.

Fix the error in the command to delete a route named 'old-route'.

GCP

gcloud compute routes [1] old-route

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'remove' or 'del' which are not valid gcloud subcommands.

Typo in the subcommand causing command failure.

The correct command to delete a route is delete.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a route that directs traffic to an IP address as the next hop.

GCP

gcloud compute routes create my-route --network [1] --destination-range 10.0.0.0/24 --next-hop-[2] 192.168.1.1

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Binstance

Caddress

Dgateway

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'instance' as next hop when an IP address is required.

Using incorrect network names.

The route is created in the default network and uses address as the next hop type.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a route with a priority and a next hop gateway.

GCP

gcloud compute routes create my-route --network [1] --destination-range [2] --priority [3] --next-hop-gateway default-internet-gateway

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

C0.0.0.0/0

D1000

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using an invalid destination range.

Omitting the priority or using a non-numeric value.

The route is created in the default network, routes all traffic 0.0.0.0/0, and has a priority of 1000.
