What two features are benefits of using GRE tunnels with IPsec over using an IPsec tunnel alone in building-to-building site-to-site VPNs? (Choose two.)

  • A. Allows dynamic routing securely over the tunnel
  • B. IKE keepalives are unidirectional and sent every ten seconds
  • C. Reduces IPsec headers overhead since tunnel mode is used
  • D. Supports non-IP traffic over the tunnel
  • E. uses Virtual Tunnel Interface (VTI) to simplify the IPsec VPN configuration AD

Suggested Answer: Explanation 🗳️
A drawback of IPSec is it does not support multicast traffic. But most popular routing protocols nowadays rely on multicast (like OSPF, EIGRP, RIP"¦ except BGP) to send their routing updates. A popular solution to this is using GRE tunnels. GRE tunnels do support transporting IP multicast and broadcast packets to the other end of the GRE tunnel -> A is correct.
Non-IP traffic (such as IPX, AppleTalk) can be wrapped inside GRE encapsulation and then this packet is subjected to IPSec encapsulation so all traffic can be routed -> D is correct.
