Question 263

A network administrator must optimize the segment size of the TCP packet on the DMVPN IPsec protected tunnel interface, which carries application traffic from the head office to a designated branch. The TCP segment size must not overwhelm the MTU of the outbound link. Which configuration must be applied to the router to improve the application performance?

    Correct Answer: B

    To optimize the TCP segment size on a DMVPN IPsec protected tunnel interface without overwhelming the MTU of the outbound link, the correct configuration includes setting the 'ip tcp adjust-mss', which adjusts the TCP maximum segment size (MSS) in the SYN packets to prevent fragmentation. This ensures that the TCP segments plus the IPsec overhead do not exceed the MTU of the underlying network. The correct command is 'ip tcp adjust-mss 1360', and 'crypto ipsec fragmentation after-encryption' should be used to handle fragmentation appropriately. This configuration aligns with best practices for managing TCP segment sizes on VPN tunnels.
