Question 160
The acceptance test for remote site encrypted transport at an energy services network in Calgary must confirm a fix for: In phase 2 DMVPN, hub EIGRP changes the next hop to its own tunnel IP, preventing a direct spoke shortcut. Which outcome shows that the precise problem was corrected?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for phase 2 next-hop-self. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Preserve original spoke next hops by correcting the hub EIGRP next-hop-self behavior', actually resolved the reported issue at an energy services network in Calgary. The original failure was: In phase 2 DMVPN, hub EIGRP changes the next hop to its own tunnel IP, preventing a direct spoke shortcut.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies dmvpn nhrp network id mismatch in a different situation, such as when the hub and spoke use different NHRP network identifiers despite otherwise consistent tunnel addressing. For the reported phase 2 next-hop-self incident at an energy services network in Calgary, the required acceptance evidence is: Spokes resolve the actual remote spoke next hop and build direct traffic paths. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies static hub mapping at spoke in a different situation, such as when a spoke cannot send initial NHRP requests because it has no mapping from the hub's tunnel address to the reachable NBMA address. For the reported phase 2 next-hop-self incident at an energy services network in Calgary, the required acceptance evidence is: Spokes resolve the actual remote spoke next hop and build direct traffic paths. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies phase 3 nhrp redirect shortcut in a different situation, such as when a phase 3 DMVPN uses only hub transit even for established spoke-to-spoke flows because redirect and shortcut mechanisms are absent. For the reported phase 2 next-hop-self incident at an energy services network in Calgary, the required acceptance evidence is: Spokes resolve the actual remote spoke next hop and build direct traffic paths. This other result does not test that condition directly.
