To create a multi-tier network infrastructure, the customer needs to connect their segments to both a Tier-0 gateway and a Tier-1 gateway.

Here's a detailed explanation of the different gateway tiers and how they work together to create a multi-tier network infrastructure:

  • Tier-0 Gateway: This is the gateway that connects the virtual network to the physical network. It is the top-level gateway that handles the routing between different virtual networks, and between virtual networks and the physical network. The Tier-0 gateway provides a centralized point of control for routing, security, and other network services.
  • Tier-1 Gateway: This is the gateway that connects virtual machines (VMs) to the virtual network. It handles the routing between different subnets within the virtual network. Each Tier-1 gateway is connected to a Tier-0 gateway.

To create a multi-tier network infrastructure, the customer needs to connect their segments to both a Tier-0 gateway and a Tier-1 gateway. The Tier-0 gateway provides the routing between virtual networks and the physical network, while the Tier-1 gateway provides the routing between subnets within the virtual network.

Option A is the correct answer. The customer needs to connect their segments to a Tier-1 gateway and then connect the Tier-1 gateway to the Tier-0 gateway. This configuration allows for multiple subnets within the virtual network and routing between the virtual network and the physical network.

Option B is incorrect because connecting segments to only a Tier-1 gateway does not provide connectivity between the virtual network and the physical network.

Option C is incorrect because connecting segments only to a Tier-0 gateway does not provide the necessary routing between subnets within the virtual network.

Option D is also incorrect because connecting segments only to a Tier-0 gateway does not provide connectivity between the virtual network and the physical network, and does not provide the necessary routing between subnets within the virtual network.
