In the next try, I see transport mode being used, if the server is
configured for transport mode.

So does it mean that GETVPN supports both transport and tunnel mode.

Most of the Cisco docs mentions that GETVPN uses tunnel mode.



Snippet from

*GET VPN uses ESP in tunnel mode,* which protects the entire data packet, as
well as the IP header received by the VPN gateway. Tunnel mode processing
adds a new IP header to the packet after ESP encapsulation. GET VPN uses a
method of tunnel mode called "tunnel mode with address preservation" that
copies the original source and destination from the inner IP header to the
outer IP header.

*Tunnel mode with address preservation differs from normal tunnel
mode,*where the source and destination on the packet are taken as the
source and
destination VPN gateways.
