Implementing Cisco Secure Mobility Solutions (SIMOS, legacy) — Question 34

What action does the hub take when it receives a NHRP resolution request from a spoke for a network that exists behind another spoke?

Answer options

• A. The hub sends back a resolution reply to the requesting spoke.
• B. The hub updates its own NHRP mapping.
• C. The hub forwards the request to the destination spoke.
• D. The hub waits for the second spoke to send a request so that it can respond to both spokes.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the hub is responsible for forwarding resolution requests to the appropriate spoke that holds the destination network. Option A is incorrect as the hub does not send a direct reply without forwarding. Option B is wrong because the hub does not update its mappings in this scenario. Option D is also incorrect since the hub does not wait for additional requests before acting.
