What is a security group?

  1. A solution for Security Gateway redundancy and Load Sharing.
  2. A set of appliances of the same model that are collectively managed by the MHO.
  3. A set of network interfaces and individual SGMs assigned to a logical group.
  4. A set of objects in SmartConsole that are responsible for enforcing an access policy.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Security groups are used to simplify management and policy enforcement across multiple devices or network segments, often offering redundancy and load balancing features



What is the Orchestrator?

  1. Network Switch
  2. Manager of compute and network resources, load balancer and network switch
  3. Load balancer
  4. None of above

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The Orchestrator is a Maestro component that manages the compute and network resources of the Security Group Modules (SGMs) in a Security Group. It also acts as a load balancer and a network switch, distributing traffic among the SGMs and connecting them to the customer's network infrastructure.

What is the Correction Layer?

  1. Correction Layer is a daemon which corrects errors on Backplane interfaces
  2. Correction Layer is a mechanism which handles asymmetric connections in multi-appliance system. For example, in case of NAT
  3. Correction Layer is a mechanism which activated in case of asymmetric routing
  4. Correction Layer is a Layer of GAIA OS which corrects misspelled commands and allows them to execute

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The Correction Layer is a Maestro component that ensures that packets from the same connection are handled by the same Security Group Module (SGM) in a multi-appliance system. This is especially important when NAT is involved, as packets sent from the client to the server can be distributed to a different SGM than packets from the same session sent from the server to the client. The Correction Layer must then forward the packet to the correct SGM.

What is the Correction Layer mechanism?

  1. Ensures asymmetric traffic is handled properly, especially in the case of NAT or VPNs.
  2. The load-balancing mechanism used by the MHO.
  3. The MHO's distribution algorithm which determines the handling SGM for a given connection.
  4. Enforces the access policy on the SGMs and synchronizes the enforcement verdict to other SGMs in the SG.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The Correction Layer mechanism is a Maestro component that ensures that packets from the same connection are handled by the same Security Group Module (SGM) in a multi-appliance system. This is especially important when NAT or VPNs are involved, as packets sent from the client to the server can be distributed to a different SGM than packets from the same session sent from the server to the client. The Correction Layer must then forward the packet to the correct SGM.

What is the maximum number of Appliances within Security group in Dual-Site configuration?

  1. 28
  2. 31
  3. 15
  4. 16

Answer(s): A
