NSE 7 – SD-WAN 7.2 — Question 5

In a hub-and-spoke topology, what are two advantages of enabling ADVPN on the IPsec overlays? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It provides the benefits of a full-mesh topology in a hub-and-spoke network.
• B. It enables spokes to establish shortcuts to third-party gateways.
• C. It provides direct connectivity between spokes by creating shortcuts.
• D. It enables spokes to bypass the hub during shortcut negotiation.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answers, A and C, highlight that ADVPN allows the hub-and-spoke topology to gain full-mesh benefits and facilitates direct connections between spokes. Options B and D do not accurately describe the primary advantages of ADVPN, as they focus on connections to third-party gateways and bypassing the hub in ways that are not central to the ADVPN benefit set.
