200-301 Question 432
Select 2A network administrator is tasked with setting up a secure communication channel between the headquarters and a branch office, as well as allowing remote employees to securely access resources on the headquarters' network. Which two types of VPNs should the administrator configure to meet these requirements?
- A
IPsec site-to-site VPN
- B
IPsec remote access VPN
- C
GRE tunnel
- D
SSL remote access VPN
- E
MPLS VPN
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
To meet the requirements of securely connecting a branch office and allowing remote employees to access the headquarters' network, the administrator needs to configure an IPsec site-to-site VPN for the branch office connection and an IPsec remote access VPN for individual remote users. These VPN types leverage IPsec for encryption and security, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity during transit.
- A. Correct.
An IPsec site-to-site VPN is used to securely connect two fixed sites, such as a headquarters and a branch office, over the internet.
- B. Correct.
An IPsec remote access VPN is used to allow individual remote users to securely connect to the corporate network.
- C. Incorrect.
A GRE tunnel provides connectivity between networks but does not inherently include encryption or security features like IPsec does.
- D. Incorrect.
An SSL remote access VPN is another option for remote access; however, the question specifies IPsec, making this answer incorrect.
- E. Incorrect.
An MPLS VPN is a service provider-based solution for site-to-site connectivity, but it is not based on IPsec and is not designed for remote access.
