Your company has a set of AWS Direct Connect connections. They want to aggregate the bandwidth of these connections to ensure that a large amount of data can be sent through the pipe. So a decision has been made to set up a link aggregation group. What are the factors that need to be considered when setting up the LAG group? Choose 2 answers from the options given below.

Answer options:

A.You have to ensure that the existing AWS Direct connect connections have the same bandwidth.
B.You have to ensure that a VPN connection is also in place to attach to the LAG group.
C.You have to ensure that all AWS Direct connect connections terminate at the same AWS endpoint.
D.You have to ensure that all AWS Direct connect connections terminate at different AWS endpoints.

Answer – A and C
The clear requirements for setting up LAG are given in the AWS Documentation.
The following rules apply:
· All connections in the LAG must use the same bandwidth. The following bandwidths are supported: 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps.
· You can have a maximum of 4 connections in a LAG. Each connection in the LAG counts towards your overall connection limit for the region.
· All connections in the LAG must terminate at the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint.
Options B and D are invalid because they break the rules for setting up a LAG group.
