Question 21

What happens if the SMO Master fails?
The SMO Master is the SGM that is responsible for managing the Security Group and communicating with the MHO. If the SMO Master fails, the Backup SMO Master, which is the SGM with the next lowest SGM ID, will take over the role of the SMO Master and ensure the continuity of the Security Group operations.

Question 22

What does the lldpctl command do?
The lldpctl command is a tool to display information about the devices discovered by the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on all ports of the Maestro Orchestrator and the Security Group Members. LLDP is a protocol that enables devices to exchange information about their identity, capabilities, and configuration. LLDP can help to discover the topology and connectivity of the Maestro environment.

Question 23

What type of cluster can a Security Group can be compared to?
A Security Group can be compared to a Load Sharing Active / Active cluster because it consists of multiple Security Group Members that share the traffic load and provide high availability and scalability. Each Security Group Member is an active firewall that processes traffic according to the Security Group policy and synchronizes its state with other members. The Maestro Orchestrator acts as a load balancer that distributes the traffic among the Security Group Members based on their capacity and availability.

Question 27

When security policy is installed
This is the correct answer because it describes the security policy installation flow for a Maestro Security Group. The SMO Master is the Security Group Member that acts as the leader and the single point of contact for the Management Server. The SMO Master verifies the policy and installs it first, then notifies the other SGMs that a new policy is available. The other SGMs fetch the policy from the SMO Master and install it in parallel.

Question 29

Maestro allows running commands globally in Expert mode by using global prefixes, such as:
The g_all prefix is used to run commands globally in Expert mode on all Security Group Members of the current Security Group. For example, g_all cpstop will stop the Check Point services on all SGMs. The other prefixes are not valid for global commands in Expert mode.

Question 30

The ______________ command will allow users to update the specified file on all SGMs.
The g_update_conf_file command is a global command that allows users to update the specified file on all Security Group Members of the current Security Group. The command takes the file name and the parameter-value pair as arguments and updates the file accordingly. For example, g_update_conf_file fwkern.conf fwha_enable_arp=1 will add or modify the fwha_enable_arp parameter in the fwkern.conf file on all SGMs.
