Explanation

Auto VPN (D) is the proprietary Cisco Meraki feature that allows MX Security Appliances to automatically negotiate and establish site-to-site VPN tunnels through Meraki's cloud infrastructure - no manual tunnel configuration required; devices register with the Meraki dashboard and peer discovery happens automatically.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Dynamic Multipoint VPN / DMVPN) is a Cisco IOS-based hub-and-spoke VPN technology, not specific to Meraki MX appliances and not cloud-brokered.
• B (GRE) is a generic tunneling protocol that encapsulates packets but provides no encryption or cloud management on its own.
• C (SSH tunneling) is used for secure remote access to individual hosts/services, not site-to-site network connectivity.

Memory tip: Think "Auto VPN = Automatic + Meraki." The word auto signals that Meraki's cloud does the heavy lifting - if the question mentions Meraki MX and cloud-brokered, Auto VPN is almost always the answer.
