Question 110
At the Aspen agricultural office, short management packets pass through the DMVPN, but larger TCP sessions repeatedly stall after encapsulation. Which operational change most directly addresses the fault described?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Set appropriate tunnel MTU and TCP MSS handling based on GRE/IPsec overhead and verified PMTUD behavior. That directly addresses the documented condition at the Aspen agricultural office: Encapsulation reduces effective payload MTU, causing large packets to fragment or be dropped. Confirmation should show that large application transfers complete without persistent fragmentation or TCP MSS black holes.
Incorrect Answers
That change targets dmvpn spoke-to-spoke nhrp resolution, not the reported gre over ipsec mtu and mss fault at the Aspen agricultural office. Encapsulation reduces effective payload MTU, causing large packets to fragment or be dropped.
This is appropriate for a different routing or network-control issue: The IKE phase cannot agree on a compatible authenticated cryptographic proposal. The stated evidence at the Aspen agricultural office instead concerns gre over ipsec mtu and mss.
This could help where mpls unlabelled core hop is the issue, but not for the evidence reported at the Aspen agricultural office. Encapsulation reduces effective payload MTU, causing large packets to fragment or be dropped.
