Correct answer: Create two VLAN attachments in different Google edge locations (separate interconnect locations)., Configure independent BGP sessions on each VLAN attachment toward your on‑prem router..
Why this is the answer
To achieve high availability and avoid a single-site failure with Dedicated Interconnect, you need redundancy at multiple layers. Creating two VLAN attachments in different Google edge locations (separate interconnect locations) ensures that if one Google edge location experiences an outage, traffic can fail over to the other. This provides geographical redundancy for the Google Cloud side of the connection. Additionally, configuring independent BGP sessions on each VLAN attachment toward your on-prem router is crucial. This allows each connection to operate independently, enabling dynamic routing protocols to detect failures and reroute traffic automatically, ensuring continuous connectivity. Doubling VLAN bandwidth in a single location doesn't provide redundancy against site failure. Partner Interconnect is an alternative, but the question specifically asks about Dedicated Interconnect.
