When configuring a Public VIF (Virtual Interface) for AWS Direct Connect, the following components are required:
A. VLAN ID: A VLAN ID is required for identifying the traffic flow between the customer's network and the AWS network. This VLAN ID must be unique for each Public VIF.
B. Router Peer IP: A router peer IP address is required to establish a BGP session between the customer's router and AWS. This IP address is typically provided by the Direct Connect service provider.
C. BGP ASN: A BGP ASN (Autonomous System Number) is required for exchanging routing information between the customer's router and the AWS network. The customer must use a unique ASN for their network, and AWS will provide a unique ASN for their network as well.
D. Virtual Private Gateway: A Virtual Private Gateway is a component in AWS that is required for establishing a VPN connection to the customer's on-premises network. However, it is not required for configuring a Public VIF.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is D. Virtual Private Gateway.
