Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
For securely connecting two branch offices over the internet with encryption and a permanent connection, an IPsec Site-to-Site VPN is the most appropriate choice. It ensures secure data transmission between the sites while maintaining a continuous connection.
- A. Correct.
IPsec Site-to-Site VPN is designed for connecting two or more networks securely over the internet, providing encryption and a permanent connection between the sites.
- B. Incorrect.
IPsec Remote Access VPN is typically used for individual users to securely connect to a corporate network from a remote location, not for connecting entire networks.
- C. Incorrect.
SSL VPN is commonly used for secure remote access, but it is not ideal for permanent site-to-site connections between branch offices.
- D. Incorrect.
GRE Tunnel provides a virtual point-to-point connection but lacks native encryption, so it does not meet the requirement for secure communication.
