Certified Network Defender (CND) — Question 14
Which of the following VPN topologies establishes a persistent connection between an organization's main office and its branch offices using a third-party network or the Internet?
Answer options
- A. Hub-and-Spoke
- B. Full Mesh
- C. Point-to-Point
- D. Star
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Hub-and-Spoke topology is designed for connecting a central office to multiple branch locations through a single point, making it a persistent connection setup. In contrast, Full Mesh involves all nodes connecting to each other directly, Point-to-Point focuses on a direct connection between two endpoints, and Star topology connects all nodes to a central hub but does not inherently create a persistent connection like Hub-and-Spoke.
