Which configuration allows a Cisco ASA to receive an IPsec connection from a peer with an unknown IP address?

The correct answer is A. dynamic crypto map. A dynamic crypto map on the Cisco ASA allows IPsec session establishment from peers whose IP addresses are not known in advance, matching them by policy rather than by explicit peer address.

Why each option

A dynamic crypto map on the Cisco ASA allows IPsec session establishment from peers whose IP addresses are not known in advance, matching them by policy rather than by explicit peer address.

Adynamic crypto mapCorrect

A dynamic crypto map is a special crypto map entry without a set peer statement, allowing the ASA to accept IKE negotiations from any IP address that matches the configured transform-set and ACL parameters. It is inserted at the end of the static crypto map sequence so static peer entries are checked first, and the dynamic entry catches all remaining unknown-IP peers. This is the standard ASA mechanism for supporting road-warrior or dynamically addressed site-to-site VPN peers.

Bdynamic tunnel group

Tunnel groups on the ASA are identified by IP address or group name; there is no 'dynamic tunnel group' feature for accepting unknown-IP IPsec peers.

Cdynamic AAA attributes

Dynamic AAA attributes control authorization attribute delivery after authentication and have no role in accepting IPsec connections from unknown IP addresses.

Ddynamic access policy

Dynamic Access Policy (DAP) applies posture-based access control to AnyConnect SSL/TLS sessions and is unrelated to site-to-site IPsec peer address resolution.
