EC Council Certified Cybersecurity Technician Courseware Module 07 Page 940-948 Hub-and-Spoke VPN Topology In hub-and-spoke technology, the main organization is considered the hub, and its remote offices are considered the spokes. The spokes access the VPN through the hub. Point-to-Point VPN Topology In a point-to-point topology, any two end points are considered as peer devices that can communicate with each other. Any of the devices can be used to initiate the connection. Full Mesh VPN Topology In a fully meshed VPN network, all peers can communicate with each other, making it a complex network. This topology is suitable for complicated networks where all peers communicate with one another. [CORRECT] Star Topology This is the most commonly used topology in organizations. In this topology, all the remote offices communicate with the corporate office, but communication between the remote offices is denied.

In a Hub-and-Spoke VPN topology, all remote offices (spokes) connect to a central corporate office (hub), but communication between the remote offices (spokes) is typically not allowed. This setup is commonly used for organizations where all remote offices need to access centralized resources at the corporate office, but direct communication between remote offices is unnecessary or undesirable for security or operational reasons.

B. Star Topology (CCTv1 book Page No: 947)

C. Hub-and-Spoke VPN topology Here's why: Point-to-Point VPN: This connects two individual points, not ideal for multiple remote offices. Full-mesh VPN: This creates a complex network where all offices connect directly with each other, unnecessary in this scenario. Star topology: In a star topology, all remote offices connect to a central hub, which could be the corporate office. However, it doesn't explicitly restrict communication between remote offices. Hub-and-Spoke VPN: This topology perfectly fits the scenario. It creates a central hub (corporate office) where all remote offices connect (spokes). This allows communication between remote offices and the central office but restricts communication directly between remote offices.

Star Topology. This topology allows the branches to communicate with the headquarters, however, Interconnection between branches is not allowed.

From the CCT book, Star topology ...'This is the most commonly used topology in organizations. In this topology, all the remote offices communicate with the corporate office, but communication between the remote offices is denied. '...

The Hub-and-Spoke and star topology look the same in terms of communications but the question is asking for VPN topology, I think C is the answer as Star topology does not have VPN in the answer.

Explanation: Hub-and-Spoke VPN Topology In hub-and-spoke technology, the main organization is considered the hub, and its remote offices are considered the spokes. The spokes access the VPN through the hub. This topology is mainly used in banking and international organizations. The hub controls the following two types of communication:  Communication between a spoke and hub  Communication between spokes

Star Topology

Star Topology This is the most commonly used topology in organizations.

Answer Start topology

it is star topology

Star Topology: Interconnection between branches is not allowed

Star Topology. From courseware: Interconnection between branches is not allowed

Star Topology. From courseware: Interconnection between branches is not allowed

Not hub and spoke.
