Ferris PlastiCS,lnc. is a medium sized company, with enterprise network(access, distribution and core) switches that provide LAN connectivity from user PCs to corporate servers. The distribution switches are configured to use HSRP to provide a high availability solution as follows:

-DS1(Distribution Switch 1) is the primary device for VLAN 101, VLAN102 and VLAN 105.
-DS2(Distribution Switch 2) is the primary device for VLAN 103 and VLAN 104.
-A failure of GigabitEthernet1/0/1 on the primary device should block the primary device from being the active device, unless GigabitEthernet1/0/1 on the backup device has also failed.



Troubleshooting has Identified several issues.Currently all interfaces are up.Use the running configurations and the available show commands to investigate and respond to the following question.

ISCW Hotspot : Site to site IPSEC VPN

Topology:


Q1. You work as a network engineer at CiscoSims. Which defined peer IP address and local subnet belong to Crete? (Choose two.)

A. peer address 192.168.55.159
B. peer address 192.168.77.120
C. peer address 192.168.167.85
D. subnet 10.5.15.0/24
E. subnet 10.8.28.0/24
F. subnet 10.5.33.0/24


Explanations:-
After login the SDM headquarters, VPN->site-to-site VPN, find the configuration in view of Crete branch, and we can see the status (UP), the interface S0/0/0, the IPSEC policy (SDM_CMAP 1), peer (192.168.55.159), Transform sets (ESP-3DES-SHA), ipsec policy (1602), etc. The further step is to find the option of ipsec policies from VPN components. We can see the detailed information of 102. The ACL only allows 10.10.10.0/24 to access all the IP services of 10.5.15.0/24.
