300-410 DMVPN — Practice Questions

30 questions from this objective

Question 2mediummultiple choice
Read the full VPN explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting a DMVPN phase 2 hub-and-spoke deployment. The hub router has mGRE and NHRP configured, and spokes register successfully. However, spoke-to-spoke traffic is not being encrypted, even though IPsec profiles are applied to the mGRE tunnel interface on both the hub and spokes. The engineer verifies that the crypto map is not applied to the tunnel interface. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

Question 3hardmultiple choice
Read the full VPN explanation →

An engineer is troubleshooting a DMVPN phase 3 network where spoke-to-spoke tunnels are not being established dynamically. The hub router has NHRP redirect enabled, and spokes have NHRP shortcut enabled. The engineer notices that when a spoke sends traffic to another spoke, the hub forwards the traffic but does not send an NHRP redirect. The hub's NHRP configuration includes the command 'ip nhrp redirect'. What is the most likely cause?

Question 4hardmultiple choice
Read the full VPN explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting a DMVPN phase 2 network where spoke-to-spoke tunnels are established, but traffic between spokes is intermittently dropped. The engineer captures packets and sees that IPsec packets are being fragmented. The tunnel interface MTU is set to 1400 bytes, and the physical interface MTU is 1500 bytes. The engineer also notices that the IPsec transform set uses ESP with AES-256 and SHA-256. What is the most likely cause of the intermittent drops?

Question 5mediummultiple choice
Study the full EIGRP explanation →

An engineer is troubleshooting a DMVPN phase 3 network where spokes are unable to reach the hub's LAN subnet. The hub router is running EIGRP over the DMVPN tunnel interface, and the spokes are learning the hub's LAN route. However, pings from a spoke to the hub's LAN IP fail. The engineer checks the hub's routing table and sees the spoke's LAN route. The hub's tunnel interface has 'ip nhrp redirect' and 'ip nhrp shortcut' enabled. What is the most likely cause?

Question 6mediummultiple choice
Read the full VPN explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting a DMVPN phase 2 network where the hub router is not forming an NHRP adjacency with a spoke. The spoke router is configured with 'ip nhrp nhs 10.0.0.1' and 'ip nhrp map 10.0.0.1 192.168.1.1'. The hub's tunnel interface IP is 10.0.0.1, and the physical interface IP is 192.168.1.1. The engineer pings the hub's tunnel IP from the spoke and it succeeds. However, 'show ip nhrp' on the spoke shows no NHRP entries. What is the most likely cause?

Question 7hardmultiple choice
Read the full VPN explanation →

An engineer is troubleshooting a DMVPN phase 3 network where spoke-to-spoke tunnels are established, but traffic between spokes is taking a suboptimal path through the hub. The engineer checks 'show ip nhrp shortcut' on the spoke and sees no shortcut entries. The hub has 'ip nhrp redirect' enabled, and the spoke has 'ip nhrp shortcut' enabled. The engineer also verifies that the spoke's routing table has a route to the remote spoke's LAN via the hub. What is the most likely cause?

Question 8mediummultiple choice
Study the full EIGRP explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting a DMVPN phase 2 network where the hub router is not learning the loopback interface routes from the spokes via EIGRP. The spokes have EIGRP configured on the tunnel interface and are advertising their loopback0 interface. The hub's EIGRP neighbor relationship with the spokes is established. However, the hub's routing table does not contain the loopback routes. The engineer checks the spoke's EIGRP configuration and sees that the loopback interface is not included in any network statement. What is the most likely cause?

Question 9mediummultiple choice
Study the full EIGRP explanation →

An engineer is troubleshooting a DMVPN phase 2 network where the hub router is not forming an EIGRP neighbor relationship with a spoke. The spoke's tunnel interface is configured with 'ip nhrp nhs 10.0.0.1' and 'ip nhrp map 10.0.0.1 192.168.1.1'. The hub's tunnel interface IP is 10.0.0.1. The engineer pings the hub's tunnel IP from the spoke and it succeeds. The engineer checks 'show ip eigrp neighbors' on the hub and sees no neighbors. What is the most likely cause?

Question 10hardmultiple choice
Read the full VPN explanation →

A network engineer is troubleshooting a DMVPN phase 2 network where spoke-to-spoke tunnels are not being established. The hub router has 'ip nhrp redirect' enabled, and spokes have 'ip nhrp shortcut' enabled. The engineer notices that when a spoke sends traffic to another spoke, the hub forwards the traffic correctly, but the spoke does not initiate an NHRP resolution request to the destination spoke. The spoke's routing table shows the destination subnet via the hub. What is the most likely cause?
