Sample Questions — Google Cloud Professional Cloud Network Engineer (PCNE) - 340 Questions

5 free sample questions from this practice exam. Correct answers are highlighted.

1. A network engineer needs to design a VPC network for a company with multiple departments that require isolation but also need to share centralized services like databases and Active Directory. Which GCP architecture best meets this requirement?

A Create separate VPCs with VPC peering between each department and a central services VPC
B Use Shared VPC with a host project containing the shared subnets and service projects for each department ✓ Correct
C Create separate VPCs for each department and connect them using Cloud VPN tunnels
D Use auto-mode VPCs for each department and enable Private Google Access on all subnets

2. A company runs workloads in GCP and on-premises. On-premises DNS resolves names under corp.example.com using an internal DNS server at 192.168.1.53. VMs in GCP need to resolve corp.example.com names. Which Cloud DNS configuration achieves this?

A Create a public Cloud DNS zone for corp.example.com and point GCP VMs to the Cloud DNS resolver
B Create a private Cloud DNS zone for corp.example.com and manually add all records
C Create a Cloud DNS forwarding zone for corp.example.com that forwards queries to 192.168.1.53 ✓ Correct
D Configure split-horizon DNS in Cloud DNS so internal GCP VMs resolve corp.example.com differently

3. A company is planning a new GCP deployment and needs to choose between auto mode and custom mode VPC networks. The company anticipates future growth, plans to use VPC peering with partner organizations, and needs fine-grained control over IP address ranges. Which VPC mode should be used and why?

A Use auto mode VPC because it automatically creates subnets in all regions, simplifying the initial setup
B Use auto mode VPC and manually delete subnets in regions not needed to avoid IP conflicts
C Use custom mode VPC to maintain full control over subnet CIDR ranges and avoid conflicts with peered networks ✓ Correct
D Start with auto mode VPC and convert it to custom mode after all subnets are configured

4. A company needs GCP VMs to be resolvable from on-premises using names under gcp.internal. The on-premises DNS server should forward queries for gcp.internal to Cloud DNS. Which Cloud DNS feature enables on-premises resolvers to query Cloud DNS private zones?

A Configure an inbound DNS server policy on the VPC to create a DNS forwarding entry point accessible from on-premises ✓ Correct
B Configure an outbound DNS forwarding policy that sends gcp.internal queries from GCP VMs to on-premises
C Create a public Cloud DNS zone for gcp.internal and allow on-premises servers to query it
D Use Cloud DNS peering to link the gcp.internal zone to the on-premises DNS zone

5. A network engineer is designing the IP address space for a new GCP VPC. The company currently uses 10.0.0.0/8 on-premises and will need to connect the VPC to on-premises via Cloud Interconnect. Future plans include VPC peering with two partner companies whose address spaces are unknown. Which CIDR range approach is most appropriate for the GCP VPC?

A Allocate subnets from the 172.16.0.0/12 range, keeping GCP addresses distinct from on-premises ✓ Correct
B Use 10.0.0.0/16 subnets within the same 10.0.0.0/8 block to maintain address consistency
C Use 192.168.0.0/16 for all subnets since it is the smallest RFC 1918 block and easy to manage
D Use 10.128.0.0/9 to align with GCP's auto mode default ranges
