A. B. C. D.

Answer - A.

The AWS documentation mentions the following.

A link aggregation group (LAG) is a logical interface that uses the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to aggregate multiple 1 gigabit or 10 gigabit connections at a single AWS Direct Connect endpoint, allowing you to treat them as a single, managed connection.

You can associate an existing connection with a LAG.

The connection can be standalone, or it can be part of another LAG.

The connection must be on the same AWS device and must use the same bandwidth as the LAG.

If the connection is already associated with another LAG, you cannot re-associate it if removing the connection causes the original LAG to fall below its threshold for minimum number of operational connections.

For more information on link aggregation group please see the below link:

Link aggregation group (LAG) is used to provide more than one physical connection between a customer network and an AWS Direct Connect location, which can improve availability and performance. To associate a LAG with an AWS Direct Connect connection, you can use the AWS Direct Connect console or API.

Now let's look at each statement to determine which one is false:

A. The connection can be on a different AWS device: This statement is true. A connection associated with a LAG can be on a different AWS Direct Connect device.

B. You can associate an existing connection with a LAG: This statement is true. You can associate an existing AWS Direct Connect connection with a LAG, which can improve availability and performance.

C. The connection can be standalone, or it can be part of another LAG: This statement is true. You can associate a standalone connection or a connection that is part of another LAG with a LAG.

D. It can be used to aggregate multiple 1 gigabit or 10 gigabit connections at a single AWS Direct Connect endpoint: This statement is also true. A LAG can be used to aggregate multiple 1 gigabit or 10 gigabit connections at a single AWS Direct Connect endpoint.

Therefore, all statements are true, and the answer is E) None of the above.
