Question 490
After implementing a correction at an energy services network in Calgary, engineers must verify that this original problem is resolved: A DMVPN spoke behind NAT cannot establish IPsec because the path filters NAT traversal traffic. Which observed result BEST demonstrates success?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for nat-t reachability. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Validate the NAT traversal behavior and allow the required IKE/IPsec NAT-T transport on the underlay', actually resolved the reported issue at an energy services network in Calgary. The original failure was: A DMVPN spoke behind NAT cannot establish IPsec because the path filters NAT traversal traffic.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies tunnel ipsec profile binding in a different situation, such as when spoke-to-hub GRE packets are being sent without the required encryption because no tunnel protection profile is attached. For the reported nat-t reachability incident at an energy services network in Calgary, the required acceptance evidence is: The spoke behind NAT establishes IPsec and bidirectional encrypted traffic flows. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies spoke multicast static mapping in a different situation, such as when a DMVPN spoke reaches the hub by unicast but its multicast routing hellos never reach the hub tunnel. For the reported nat-t reachability incident at an energy services network in Calgary, the required acceptance evidence is: The spoke behind NAT establishes IPsec and bidirectional encrypted traffic flows. This other result does not test that condition directly.
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 nat-t reachability incident at an energy services network in Calgary, the required acceptance evidence is: The spoke behind NAT establishes IPsec and bidirectional encrypted traffic flows. This other result does not test that condition directly.
