Question 670
For factory overlay tunnels at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen, a maintenance test revisits the fault: Spoke-to-hub GRE packets are being sent without the required encryption because no tunnel protection profile is attached. Which result validates the intended fix most directly?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for tunnel ipsec profile binding. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Apply the intended IPsec profile to the appropriate DMVPN tunnel and verify negotiated SAs', actually resolved the reported issue at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen. The original failure was: Spoke-to-hub GRE packets are being sent without the required encryption because no tunnel protection profile is attached.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies ipsec outbound-only counters in a different situation, such as when the local spoke increments IPsec encapsulation counters but receives no decapsulated packets from the hub. For the reported tunnel ipsec profile binding incident at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen, the required acceptance evidence is: GRE transport is protected by the expected IPsec associations and encrypted packet counters increase. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies ike esp underlay filtering in a different situation, such as when a DMVPN peer can ping its hub's public interface but IKE or ESP packets are blocked by a WAN ACL. For the reported tunnel ipsec profile binding incident at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen, the required acceptance evidence is: GRE transport is protected by the expected IPsec associations and encrypted packet counters increase. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies nat-t reachability in a different situation, such as when a DMVPN spoke behind NAT cannot establish IPsec because the path filters NAT traversal traffic. For the reported tunnel ipsec profile binding incident at a manufacturing group in Copenhagen, the required acceptance evidence is: GRE transport is protected by the expected IPsec associations and encrypted packet counters increase. This other result does not test that condition directly.
