Q: 17
Your company has two FastConnect circuits connecting your on-premises network to OCI. You want to implement a BGP configuration that ensures that traffic from OCI to your on-premises network is load-balanced across both FastConnect circuits. Which BGP configuration would BEST achieve load balancing across the two FastConnect circuits?

Option B not D. D just sets preference, it won't split traffic evenly like what the question asks.
C/D? Both can impact BGP path selection but not sure which gets actual load balancing, my gut says C might work too.
B imo. Identical prefixes and attributes on both FastConnects lets BGP do real ECMP load balancing. The others just favor one path.
B tbh. Setting same prefixes and attributes on both sides is the only way BGP does real load balancing with ECMP, not just failover. D is a trap, it just influences path preference not balancing. Seen similar question in practice, always B.
Did anyone see something like this in the official Oracle practice test or docs? Curious if labbing is needed for real confirmation.
B, not C/D. Pretty sure only B with identical prefixes and attributes gives you ECMP for real load sharing on both FastConnect links. C or D would just set priority, not balance. Someone correct me if I’m missing a trick.
