   A vMX is deployed as a VPN concentrator in a hub-and-spoke AutoVPN topology. The vMX is running on a hypervisor with 4 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM. The organization is adding more spokes, and the aggregate VPN traffic is expected to double. The administrator is concerned about throughput. What is the best action to ensure the vMX can handle the increased load?

   • AEvaluate the vMX's throughput capacity against the expected traffic and consider deploying a second vMX in a separate network if needed.
   • BUpgrade the vMX's license to Advanced Security to unlock higher throughput.
   • CDeploy a second vMX and configure active-passive HA to load-balance the VPN traffic.
   • DIncrease the vMX's vCPU allocation to the maximum supported by the hypervisor.

   A network architect is designing a vMX deployment for a site-to-site VPN between two offices. The vMX will run on a hypervisor with 4 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM. The expected traffic is 300 Mbps. The architect is considering whether to use a single vMX or a pair in HA. What is the most important factor in this decision?

   • AA pair of vMX instances in HA will double the throughput capacity.
   • BThe vMX must be licensed for Advanced Security to achieve 300 Mbps throughput.
   • CThe hypervisor must be VMware ESXi to achieve 300 Mbps throughput.
   • DThe throughput capacity of a single vMX with 4 vCPUs is sufficient for 300 Mbps, so HA is not needed for capacity.

   In a vMX high availability deployment, what is a key consideration for failover?

   • AFailover is automatic and does not require any additional configuration.
   • BFailover is triggered by a loss of connectivity on the WAN interface.
   • CFailover requires manual intervention from the administrator.
   • DFailover is only possible if both vMX appliances are on the same hypervisor host.

   A vMX is deployed in a public cloud and is part of an AutoVPN network. The network administrator notices that the vMX shows as 'online' in the dashboard, but a branch office cannot establish a VPN tunnel to it. What should the administrator check first in the dashboard?

   • AThe VPN status page for the vMX to see if the tunnel is up and any error messages.
   • BThe vMX's uplink status to ensure it has a public IP address.
   • CThe firewall rules on the vMX to ensure VPN traffic is allowed.
   • DThe vMX's firmware version to see if it is outdated.
