Implementing Secure Solutions with Virtual Private Networks (SVPN) — Question 161

An organization wants to distribute remote access VPN load across 12 VPN headend locations supporting 25,000 simultaneous users. Which load balancing method meets this requirement?

Answer options

• A. one VPN profile per site
• B. DNS-based load balancing
• C. AnyConnect native load balancing
• D. equal cost, multipath load balancing

Correct answer: B

Explanation

DNS-based load balancing is appropriate here as it distributes user requests across multiple VPN headends, effectively managing the load for a large number of simultaneous connections. The other options, such as one VPN profile per site and AnyConnect native load balancing, do not provide the same level of distribution across multiple locations, while equal cost, multipath load balancing is not specifically designed for this type of remote access scenario.
