The correct answer is C. Broadcast. OSPF broadcast network type is required on DMVPN Phase 2 tunnels because it elects a DR (the hub) and preserves the original next-hop address when advertising spoke routes, enabling direct spoke-to-spoke tunnel establishment.

Question

Refer to the exhibit. Each branch network must connect to the HQ and other branch networks over the phase 2 DMVPN network using a single tunnel interface. OSPF is running over the DMVPN network. Which network type is compatible with the DMVPN tunnel and ensures that the next hop of any route is unchanged?

Options

  • APoint-to-point
  • BPoint-to-multipoint
  • CBroadcast
  • DNonbroadcast

Why each option

OSPF broadcast network type is required on DMVPN Phase 2 tunnels because it elects a DR (the hub) and preserves the original next-hop address when advertising spoke routes, enabling direct spoke-to-spoke tunnel establishment.

APoint-to-point

Point-to-point network type is designed for a single neighbor and does not support the multipoint nature of a DMVPN hub-and-spoke topology with a single tunnel interface.

BPoint-to-multipoint

Point-to-multipoint network type modifies routes so that the next-hop is set to the hub's address for all spoke prefixes, breaking Phase 2 spoke-to-spoke direct tunneling.

CBroadcastCorrect

In DMVPN Phase 2, spoke routers must resolve routes to other spokes using the remote spoke's tunnel IP as the next-hop - not the hub's address - so that the NHRP resolution process can trigger a direct spoke-to-spoke tunnel. OSPF broadcast network type elects the hub as the DR, and the DR advertises LSAs while preserving the originating router's next-hop address. This allows each spoke to see the correct next-hop for other spokes and build direct tunnels.

DNonbroadcast

Nonbroadcast network type requires manual neighbor statements and also modifies next-hop to the hub's address, which prevents Phase 2 direct spoke-to-spoke communication.
