Which statement about Cisco IOS DMVPN is not true?

  • Enables spoke routers in a spoke-to-spoke design to dynamically locate each other and establish direct tunnels
  • Uses a routing protocol to monitor the state of the spoke-to-spoke tunnels
  • Uses dynamic routing to populate the routing table of the spoke routers
  • Allows IPsec to be automatically triggered to create point-to-point GRE tunnels without any IPsec peering configuration
  • Reduces the configuration of the hub router in hub-to-spoke and spoke-to-spoke designs

Explanation: This statement is not true. The sources explicitly state that while dynamic routing protocols are used to advertise networks and establish adjacencies across permanent hub-and-spoke links, a routing protocol does not monitor the state of spoke-to-spoke tunnels. Instead, the routing logic for these on-demand tunnels is handled by NHRP.
