An enterprise needs DIA on some of its branches with a common location ID: A042:B49C:D02E::72. Which WAN Edge configuration requirement?
The correct answer is D. vpn 0 interface ge0/0 ip address 172.16.0.1/24 nat vpn 1 ip route 0.0.0.0/0 vpn 0. For Direct Internet Access (DIA) at a branch, the WAN Edge's internet-facing interface and NAT must be configured in VPN 0, and service VPNs requiring internet access must have a default route pointing traffic to VPN 0.

Why each option
For Direct Internet Access (DIA) at a branch, the WAN Edge's internet-facing interface and NAT must be configured in VPN 0, and service VPNs requiring internet access must have a default route pointing traffic to VPN 0.
This configuration places the internet-facing interface within VPN 1, which is a service VPN, rather than VPN 0 where transport interfaces for DIA are typically configured.
This configuration also places the internet-facing interface within VPN 1 instead of VPN 0, which is incorrect for direct internet access.
This configuration places the default route to VPN 0 within VPN 0 itself, which is redundant and incorrectly implies VPN 0 routes to itself. The internet-facing interface and NAT are also in VPN 1.
This configuration correctly places the internet-facing interface ('ge0/0') and NAT within VPN 0, which is the transport VPN for direct internet access. It then correctly routes traffic from service VPN 1 to VPN 0 via a default route, allowing internal users to access the internet.
