What are two deployment modes for VPNs? (Choose two.)
- AES
- remote access
- SHA-256
- site-to-site
- multihop
Explanation: Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are classified based on specific criteria, one of which is the deployment mode. The two primary deployment models are site-to-site VPN and remote-access VPN.
A site-to-site VPN provides an internet-based WAN infrastructure designed to connect branch offices, home offices, or business partner sites to all or portions of a central network. Conversely, a remote-access VPN is designed to provide secure communications for individual remote hosts to access networks and applications. These remote connections are typically established through the use of VPN client software or an SSL-enabled web browser.
It is important to distinguish these modes from other technical components mentioned in the options: AES and SHA-256 are cryptographic algorithms used for encryption and data integrity within a VPN, while "multihop" is not listed as a standard deployment category in these materials.
