The correct answer is C. tunnel destination 30.1.1.2. For a DMVPN spoke to connect to the hub, the tunnel destination must correctly reference the hub's public NBMA IP address.

Question

Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must configure DMVPN between the hub and two spokes. The engineer already configured the hub, but the tunnel fails to come up. Which two commands must be used to overwrite the existing configuration and resolve the issue? (Choose two.)

Options

  • Aip addr 20.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
  • Bip addr 20.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
  • Ctunnel destination 30.1.1.2
  • Dtunnel destination 30.1.1.3
  • Etunnel source 30.0.0.1

Why each option

For a DMVPN spoke to connect to the hub, the tunnel destination must correctly reference the hub's public NBMA IP address.

Aip addr 20.1.1.2 255.255.255.0

Without exhibit context confirming the spoke's tunnel IP is misconfigured, there is no basis to change it to 20.1.1.2 as the root cause of the tunnel failure.

Bip addr 20.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

20.1.1.1 is the hub's tunnel interface IP address, and assigning it to a spoke would create an IP conflict on the mGRE subnet.

Ctunnel destination 30.1.1.2Correct

In DMVPN, each spoke's tunnel destination must point to the hub's NBMA (public) IP address - in this case 30.1.1.2 - so the initial GRE tunnel can form and the spoke can send its NHRP registration to the hub. An incorrect tunnel destination prevents the spoke from reaching the hub entirely.

Dtunnel destination 30.1.1.3

30.1.1.3 does not correspond to the hub's public IP, so using it as the tunnel destination would target a non-existent peer and the tunnel would never establish.

Etunnel source 30.0.0.1

30.0.0.1 is not a valid tunnel source for this spoke based on the addressing scheme shown, and changing the source to a non-existent interface IP would break reachability.
