CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 163

Which of the following use cases would justify the deployment of an mGRE hub-and-spoke topology?

Answer options

• A. An increase in network security using encryption and packet encapsulation
• B. A network expansion caused by an increase in the number of branch locations to the headquarters
• C. A mandatory requirement to increase the deployment of an SDWAN network
• D. An improvement in network efficiency by increasing the useful packet payload

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because deploying an mGRE hub-and-spoke topology is ideal for accommodating a growing number of branch offices connecting to a central hub. Option A, while it speaks to security, does not specifically relate to the topology's primary use case, and options C and D focus on other network concepts that do not directly justify this topology's deployment.
