This is the number of tunnels that each hub needs to support in a hub-and-spoke Auto VPN deployment with two NAT-mode hubs with dual uplink connections and 50 remote sites with a single uplink connection.This can be calculated by using the formula for the hub tunnel count in a hub-and-spoke topology1:

Hub Tunnel Count = (H x (H - 1) / 2 x L1) + (H x S x L1 x L2)

Where H is the number of hubs, S is the number of spokes, L1 is the number of uplinks for the hubs, and L2 is the number of uplinks for the spokes. In this case, H = 2, S = 50, L1 = 2, and L2 = 1. Therefore,

Hub Tunnel Count = (2 x (2 - 1) / 2 x 2) + (2 x 50 x 2 x 1) Hub Tunnel Count = (2 x 1 / 2 x 2) + (200 x 2) Hub Tunnel Count = (2 / 2 x 2) + (400) Hub Tunnel Count = (1 x 2) + (400) Hub Tunnel Count = 2 + 400 Hub Tunnel Count =402

I'm picturing a hub with more tunnels than a mole has holes. But I'm sticking with B) 54, sounds like the logical choice here.

Ah, the joys of hub-and-spoke VPNs. I reckon D) 104 tunnels is the way to go, gotta be prepared for those dual uplinks, am I right?

Haha, 100 tunnels? What is this, a superhighway intersection? I'd go with A) 52 tunnels.

B) I think it's too many tunnels, I would go with A) 52 as well.

That makes sense, so the answer is B) 54.

But wouldn't each hub need to support 54 tunnels, considering the dual uplink connections?

I agree with Catalina, because there are 50 remote sites with a single uplink connection plus the two hubs with dual uplink connections.

Wait, so each remote site has a single uplink connection? I'm thinking B) 54 tunnels per hub.

Actually, each hub needs to support 52 tunnels because it needs a tunnel to each remote site and to the other hub. So, the correct answer is A) 52.

I agree, each remote site needs a tunnel to each hub, so it would be 50 tunnels per hub. That makes a total of 100 tunnels.
