In a Meraki Auto VPN hub-and-spoke topology, what is the primary role of a spoke?

To terminate all VPN tunnels from remote users

To route all traffic between spokes without involving the hub

To connect branch sites to the hub for inter-site communication

To provide redundant internet connectivity for the hub

How does Meraki Auto VPN provide failover for VPN tunnels?

By requiring manual intervention to switch to a backup tunnel

By automatically rerouting traffic to an alternate path or hub if the primary path fails

By using a secondary internet connection at each site

By using a VPN concentrator that is always on standby

What is a best practice when designing subnets for multiple Auto VPN sites?

Use only private IP addresses that are not routable over the internet

Use the same subnet at every site to simplify management

Use unique, non-overlapping IP subnets at each site

Use public IP addresses for all internal subnets

How can inter-site traffic be optimized in a Meraki Auto VPN deployment?

By routing all traffic through a single hub to simplify management

By disabling VPN encryption to speed up traffic

By enabling direct spoke-to-spoke VPN tunnels for frequent communication between specific sites

By using only one uplink at each site

A company has a hub-and-spoke Auto VPN with a hub in the data center. Two branches (Branch A and Branch B) exchange large volumes of data. The architect wants to use SD-WAN policies to influence the path. The branches each have two WAN links: a 1 Gbps fiber link and a 100 Mbps DSL link. The architect wants the branch-to-branch traffic to use the fiber link when available. Which configuration achieves this?

Configure the hub to route the branch-to-branch traffic over the fiber link

Create an SD-WAN policy for the branch-to-branch traffic that prefers the fiber uplink

Use VLAN tagging to prioritize the branch-to-branch traffic on the fiber link

Enable direct spoke-to-spoke VPN and rely on the default path selection
