NSE4 · Question #47

Which statements are correct properties of a partial mesh VPN deployment. (Choose two.)

The correct answer is B. VPN tunnels are not configured between every single location. C. Some locations are reached via a hub location. A partial mesh VPN deployment is characterized by the absence of tunnels between every single location, with some traffic potentially routing through a central hub site.

Why each option

A partial mesh VPN deployment is characterized by the absence of tunnels between every single location, with some traffic potentially routing through a central hub site.

AVPN tunnels interconnect between every single location.

VPN tunnels interconnecting between every single location describes a fully-meshed VPN, which is not the definition of a partial mesh.

BVPN tunnels are not configured between every single location.Correct

In a partial mesh VPN, not all locations establish direct tunnels with every other location, differentiating it from a fully-meshed topology and reducing the total number of required tunnels.

CSome locations are reached via a hub location.Correct

Partial mesh VPNs often combine aspects of hub-and-spoke and full-mesh designs, meaning some locations may utilize a central hub to reach other sites or access shared resources.

DThere are no hub locations in a partial mesh.

A partial mesh VPN frequently includes one or more hub locations to facilitate communication between spokes or to provide centralized access to services.
