Question 660
Four branch gateways require direct encrypted communication with every other branch. No central gateway should be mandatory, and the sites are all managed in the same R82 environment. The operator must distinguish this from a separate requirement to authenticate a third-party IPsec peer with a shared secret. Which supported change follows from the actual evidence rather than that alternative hypothesis?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A Mesh model supports direct relationships among participating members. This directly addresses the documented incident evidence.
Incorrect Answers
Both sides need consistent configured IKE authentication secrets, but the current evidence calls for a different R82 operation.
A Star community models branch-to-center connectivity, yet that applies to connect multiple branches through a central hub site rather than the observed issue.
Site-to-Site communities define gateway membership and tunnel policy; this does not resolve the observed condition.
