A network administrator is configuring an ASA cluster and needs to ensure that VPN session state is synchronized across all members. Which configuration step is essential for this?

Configure the same cluster name on all members

Enable cluster data-plane synchronization on all interfaces

Set up a dedicated control link with high bandwidth

Assign each member a unique cluster ID

A security team is planning to deploy an ASA cluster for site-to-site VPNs. They want to ensure that if a cluster member fails, the VPN tunnels are re-established quickly and traffic is not disrupted. What is the primary mechanism that allows this?

Stateful failover of IPsec tunnels

A company is deploying dual-hub DMVPN for its branch offices. They want to ensure that if one hub becomes unavailable, the spokes can still reach the other hub and the corporate network. What is the key design element that enables this?

Spokes have a single default route to the primary hub

Spokes have NHRP mappings to both hubs

Hubs are configured in a cluster

Spokes use only spoke-to-spoke tunnels

An engineer is configuring dual-hub DMVPN. Spokes are using BGP to connect to both hubs. The engineer wants to ensure that traffic is load-balanced between the two hubs. What should be configured?

Enable NHRP redirect on the hubs

Configure only one hub as a BGP peer

Set the same BGP local preference for both hubs

In a dual-hub DMVPN network, a spoke's primary hub fails. The spoke has NHRP mappings to both hubs and is running EIGRP. What will happen to the spoke's traffic?

The spoke will immediately establish a direct tunnel to the secondary hub

Traffic will be blackholed until the primary hub recovers

Traffic will automatically fail over to the secondary hub via EIGRP

The spoke will use NHRP to find a new hub
