What does asg monitor command do?

  1. This command does not exist
  2. Monitor health status of entire system
  3. Monitor traffic on Appliances in Security Group
  4. Show real-time cluster status of Appliances in Security Group

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The "asg monitor" command generally would show real-time cluster status of appliances in a security group, focusing on health and operational status.



What will happen in case of NAT of the traffic passing through Management network?

  1. This traffic will not pass correction, since it will be dropped
  2. Orchestrator will disable NAT and traffic will pass with no issue
  3. Since Management traffic is always going to SMO, it will take a care for Correction Layer and will re-distribute traffic to other Appliances
  4. This traffic will pass with no inspection

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to the Check Point MAESTRO R80.20SP Administration Manual1, NAT is not supported on the management network. If you configure NAT on the management network, the Orchestrator will disable NAT and allow the traffic to pass without translation. This is to ensure that the management traffic can reach the Security Group members and the SmartConsole without any issues.

Which distribution mode assigns packets to an SGM based solely on the packet destination IP?

  1. User mode
  2. Manual mode
  3. Network mode
  4. Auto-topology mode

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Network mode is the distribution mode that assigns packets to an SGM based solely on the packet destination IP. In this mode, the Orchestrator uses a hash function to map each destination IP to a specific SGM. This mode ensures that all packets with the same destination IP are processed by the same SGM, regardless of the source IP or port. This mode is suitable for scenarios where the destination IP is the main factor for load balancing, such as NAT or VPN.

When a VPN tunnel is formed with a Maestro SGM,

  1. The receiving SGM makes an encryption decision. The SGM then syncs the traffic to two backup SGMs: one for clear traffic and one for encrypted traffic.
  2. SGM 1 analyzes the policy and topology. If encryption is required, it calculates the tunnel owner's IP address. SGM 1 sends a clear packet to the tunnel owner. SGM 2 is now the connection and tunnel owner.
  3. The MHO handles the IKE before distributing the traffic to a SGM to handle all encrypted traffic.
    This helps to prevent any issues with the correction layer.
  4. The MHO distributes copies of the packets to two different SGMs because SGM 1 will handle the clear traffic IKE exchange packets, while SGM2 handles encrypted packets.

Answer(s): B



What is the default Distribution mode?

  1. Auto-topology
  2. User
  3. Manual-General
  4. Network

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Auto-topology is the default distribution mode for Maestro Security Groups. In this mode, the Orchestrator assigns packets to a Security Group Member based on the topology of the port defined in the gateway object. Each port is either in user mode or network mode depending on the topology. User mode means that the port is connected to the internal network and network mode means that the port is connected to the external network. The Orchestrator uses a hash function to map each source IP or destination IP to a specific SGM, depending on the mode of the port. This mode ensures that all packets with the same source IP or destination IP are processed by the same SGM, regardless of the port or protocol.
