OCI VCN Design Architecture Quiz

1. What is the primary advantage of using a NAT Gateway over an Internet Gateway for private instances?

Instances remain private while accessing external resources

It provides faster network speeds

It encrypts all outbound traffic

It eliminates the need for security lists

Submit

3. Service Gateways in OCI allow instances to access which of the following without traversing the internet?

Oracle Cloud services like Object Storage and Databases

On-premises data centers

Other VCNs in different regions

Public websites and APIs

4. Which statement about DHCP options in a VCN is correct?

DHCP options define DNS servers and domain names for subnets

DHCP automatically assigns public IP addresses

DHCP options are required for all instances

DHCP replaces static IP configuration

Submit

6. What is the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for traffic within a VCN?

1500 bytes

9000 bytes

512 bytes

Configurable per instance

7. Which connectivity option is used to connect an on-premises data center to an OCI VCN securely?

Site-to-Site VPN or FastConnect

Internet Gateway

NAT Gateway

VCN peering

Submit

9. Network Security Groups (NSGs) operate at which layer compared to security lists?

A more granular level (VNIC/instance)

A broader level (region-wide)

The same level but with encryption

Only for on-premises networks

10. Which of the following is true about security lists in OCI?

They are stateful and applied at the subnet level

They are stateless and applied at the instance level

They replace Network Security Groups entirely

They only control outbound traffic

11. What is the primary purpose of a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) in OCI?

To provide isolated, customizable networking for cloud resources

To automatically scale compute instances

To manage database backups

To monitor application performance metrics

Submit

13. Which type of gateway allows instances in a private subnet to initiate outbound connections without receiving inbound traffic?

NAT Gateway

Internet Gateway

Dynamic Gateway

Bastion Gateway

Submit

15. What is the function of a route table in a VCN?

To define how packets are directed to their destinations

To encrypt all network traffic

To authenticate user access

To load balance traffic across instances

16. Which component controls inbound and outbound traffic at the subnet level?

Security List

Route Table

Internet Gateway

Network ACL

17. A subnet in OCI must be associated with which of the following?

A route table and security list

Only a security group

An Internet Gateway only

A NAT gateway exclusively

18. What is the maximum number of subnets you can create in a single VCN?

10

50

Unlimited
