350-701 · Question #700

Which component performs the resolution between the tunnel address and mGRE address in DMVPN?

The correct answer is C. NHRP. In a DMVPN deployment, the Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) is responsible for resolving the private tunnel IP addresses of spokes to their public mGRE (NBMA) IP addresses, enabling dynamic spoke-to-spoke tunnel establishment.

Why each option

In a DMVPN deployment, the Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) is responsible for resolving the private tunnel IP addresses of spokes to their public mGRE (NBMA) IP addresses, enabling dynamic spoke-to-spoke tunnel establishment.

AGDOI

GDOI (Group Domain of Interpretation) is a key management protocol used in Group Encrypted Transport VPN (GET VPN) and is not involved in address resolution for DMVPN.

BNBMA

NBMA (Non-Broadcast Multi-Access) refers to the underlying network type (like the internet) over which DMVPN operates, and while mGRE addresses are NBMA addresses, NBMA itself is not a resolution protocol.

CNHRPCorrect

The Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) is the core protocol in DMVPN that performs the resolution between a router's private tunnel IP address and its corresponding public mGRE (Non-Broadcast Multi-Access) address, allowing spokes to dynamically find each other.

DNHS

NHS (Next Hop Server) is a functional role within NHRP, typically played by the DMVPN hub, which maintains the NHRP mapping database, but NHRP is the protocol performing the resolution, not NHS itself.
