Question

An administrator Is configuring an IPsec VPN between site A and site B. The Remote Gateway setting in both sites has been configured as Static IP Address. For site A. the local quick mode selector is 192.160.1.0/24 and the remote quick mode selector is 192.168.2.0/24. Which subnet must the administrator configure for the local quick mode selector for site B?

Options

  • A192.168.1.0/24
  • B192.168.0.0/24
  • C192.168.2.0/24
  • D192.168.3.0/24

Why each option

In an IPsec VPN tunnel, the local quick mode selector on one site must correspond to the remote quick mode selector on the peer site for proper traffic negotiation.

A192.168.1.0/24

Configuring 192.168.1.0/24 as Site B's local selector would imply Site A's remote network is 192.168.1.0/24, which contradicts the given information for Site A.

B192.168.0.0/24

192.168.0.0/24 is a different subnet and would not match Site A's remote selector, preventing the VPN tunnel from establishing correctly for the intended traffic.

C192.168.2.0/24Correct

For an IPsec VPN tunnel to establish and pass traffic, the local quick mode selector on one peer must match the remote quick mode selector configured on the other peer. Since Site A's remote quick mode selector is 192.168.2.0/24 (representing Site B's local network behind the VPN gateway), Site B's local quick mode selector must be configured as 192.168.2.0/24.

D192.168.3.0/24

192.168.3.0/24 is also a different subnet and would not match the remote quick mode selector configured on Site A, leading to a failed VPN negotiation for that traffic.
