On a FlexVPN hub-and-spoke topology where spoke-to-spoke tunnels are not allowed, which command is needed for the hub to be able to terminate FlexVPN tunnels?

The correct answer is D. interface virtual-template. FlexVPN hubs use a virtual-template interface as a blueprint from which dynamic virtual-access interfaces are cloned for each incoming spoke connection.

Why each option

FlexVPN hubs use a virtual-template interface as a blueprint from which dynamic virtual-access interfaces are cloned for each incoming spoke connection.

Ainterface virtual-access

Virtual-access interfaces are created automatically by the system from the virtual-template at connection time and are not manually configured by an administrator to enable spoke termination.

Bip nhrp redirect

'ip nhrp redirect' enables spoke-to-spoke shortcut routing in DMVPN and FlexVPN topologies, which is explicitly not required and not desired in this hub-and-spoke-only design.

Cinterface tunnel

A static 'interface tunnel' is used for fixed point-to-point or multipoint GRE tunnels and does not support the dynamic, per-spoke interface instantiation that FlexVPN hub termination requires.

Dinterface virtual-templateCorrect

The 'interface virtual-template' command defines a reusable template configuration on the hub that IKEv2 references to dynamically instantiate per-spoke virtual-access interfaces when spokes connect. Without a virtual-template, the hub has no blueprint from which to create these dynamic interfaces and cannot terminate FlexVPN tunnels.
