CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 168

Company XYZ plans to run OSPF on a DMVPN network. They want to use spoke-to-spoke tunnels in the design. What is a drawback or concern in this type of design?

Answer options

• A. Additional host routes will be inserted into the routing tables.
• B. Manual configuration of the spoke IP address on the hub will be needed.
• C. There will be split-horizon issue at the hub.
• D. Manual configuration of the spokes with the appropriate priority will be needed.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when using spoke-to-spoke tunnels in a DMVPN setup, each spoke must be manually assigned a priority to facilitate proper routing. Options A, B, and C, while they may present concerns, do not specifically address the manual configuration requirement that is essential for spoke prioritization in this design.
