CCNP DMVPN: Summarize at the Hub, Shortcut at the Spokes
Today's daily lab
Included with a subscription.
Subscribe to unlockEvery site-to-site packet crosses the hub, and each site carries a route for every other LAN. Summarize at the hub and let NHRP redirects build direct tunnels.
Learning objectives
- Summarize the overlay's LANs at the hub
- Enable NHRP redirects so spokes learn shortcuts
- Convert the spokes to multipoint tunnels
Troubleshooting focus
- Traffic still crosses the hub: the spoke tunnel is not multipoint yet
- Sites learn no routes at all: check the summary and the EIGRP neighbors

How this lab is graded
- Build it your way. Where a lab lets you choose a value — a VLAN name, an interface description — grading checks that you configured it, not which name you picked. Names that another line has to reference, like an ACL applied with
access-class, are stated in the guide and do have to match. - Addresses, modes and protocol keywords are exact. An IP address, a subnet mask,
switchport mode trunk, an encapsulation — these carry the meaning of the lab, so they are graded as written in the guide. - Grading reads your saved configuration. Export the lab from CML after you have configured it, and make sure anything you set is in the
running-config— a change that only exists in a terminal session never reaches the grader. - You can submit as many times as you like. Your best score stands, and each attempt tells you which checks passed so you can work the gaps.
- Scored something you believe is correct? Use Report an issue on this page — that is exactly how the grading fixes in the changelog got found.
