Refer to the exhibit.

Which statement best describe the role of the ADVPN device in handling traffic?

AThis is a hub that has received a query from a spoke and has forwarded it to another spoke.

BThis is a hub in a dual-region topology. The remote hub tunnel ID is 10.0.2.101.

CThis is a spoke that has received a shortcut query from another spoke and has forwarded the response to its hub.

DThis is a spoke. The kernel received a shortcut request and forwards the query to another spoke.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Within ADVPN topologies, shortcut requests and responses traverse spokes and hubs. Fortinet documentation states: 'When a spoke receives a shortcut query from another spoke, it may forward the response to its hub for validation or to facilitate dynamic shortcut tunnel setup. This mechanism allows direct spoke-to-spoke communication for optimized routing and performance, reducing latency and offloading the hub after initial control-plane mediation.' This is a core benefit of ADVPN's dynamic shortcut feature.

Wait, is the remote hub really 10.0.2.101? Sounds odd.

A) is correct, it's a hub forwarding traffic.

I’m leaning towards option D because it talks about the kernel receiving a request, which seems to fit what we studied about spoke behavior.

I feel like the answer might be C, since it mentions a spoke forwarding a response, but I’m not completely confident about the roles.

I remember a practice question that mentioned dual-region topologies, so option B sounds familiar, but I can't recall the details.

I think the ADVPN device acts like a hub, but I'm not sure if it's specifically forwarding queries between spokes.
