The correct answer is D. DMVPN must be used, because private IP addresses cannot be transferred with GET VPN through. DMVPN must be used because GET VPN is tunnel-less and preserves original private IP headers, which the public Internet cannot route.
Question
You are working on a network design plan for a company with approximately 2000 sites. The sites will be connected using the public Internet. You plan to use private IP addressing in the network design, which will be routed without NAT through an encrypted WAN network. Some sites will be connected to the Internet with dynamic public IP addresses, and these addresses may change occasionally. Which VPN solution will support these design requirements?
Options
- AGET VPN must be used, because DMVPN does not scale to 2000 sites.
- BDMVPN must be used, because GET VPN does not scale to 2000 sites.
- CGET VPN must be used, because private IP addresses cannot be transferred with DMVPN through
- DDMVPN must be used, because private IP addresses cannot be transferred with GET VPN through
- EGET VPN must be used, because DMVPN does not support dynamic IP addresses for some sites.
- FDMVPN must be used, because GET VPN does not support dynamic IP addresses for some sites.

Why each option
DMVPN must be used because GET VPN is tunnel-less and preserves original private IP headers, which the public Internet cannot route.
Both GET VPN and DMVPN can scale well beyond 2000 sites; the claim that DMVPN cannot scale to this size is factually incorrect.
DMVPN is the correct choice, but not because of any scaling limitation - both technologies are capable of scaling to 2000 or more sites.
DMVPN can transfer private IP addresses over the public Internet because GRE tunnels encapsulate private IP packets inside a new IP header that uses public addresses for transport.
GET VPN is a tunnel-less VPN technology that preserves the original IP header of each packet, meaning private RFC 1918 source and destination addresses remain visible in the outer header. The public Internet cannot route these private addresses, making GET VPN architecturally incompatible with this design. DMVPN uses GRE tunnels with public IP outer headers to encapsulate private IP packets, allowing them to traverse the public Internet without requiring NAT.
DMVPN is specifically designed to support spokes with dynamic public IP addresses via NHRP spoke registration, so the claim that DMVPN does not support dynamic IPs is factually incorrect.
DMVPN is the correct choice, but the reason is incomplete - GET VPN group members can initiate GDOI registration to a statically addressed Key Server regardless of spoke IP dynamism; the real constraint is GET VPN's tunnel-less architecture being incompatible with private IP routing over the public Internet.
