NEW QUESTION # 55
Complete the sentence: Dual Orchestrators work as.______
- A. Load Sharing cluster
- B. Active-Active cluster
- C. Active - Standby cluster
- D. Hot-Swap RAID
Answer: B
Explanation:
Dual Orchestrators work as an Active-Active cluster, which means that both Orchestrators are active and share the load of the traffic that is sent to and from the Security Group Members (SGMs). Active-Active cluster provides better performance and scalability than Active-Standby cluster, which only uses one Orchestrator at a time and keeps the other as a backup. Active-Active cluster also allows for faster failover and recovery in case of an Orchestrator failure, as the surviving Orchestrator can take over the traffic without interruption.

NEW QUESTION # 57
What is the default Distribution mode?
- A. Manual-General
- B. Auto-topology
- C. User
- D. Network
Answer: B
Explanation:
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.

NEW QUESTION # 59
What cannot be a reason for "Failed to get remote orchestrator interfaces" error message, when clicking on
"Orchestrator" in WebUI
- A. One orchestrator only, but Orchestrator amount is 2 or no Sync in between orchestrators
- B. Single orchestrator environment, but configured Orchestrator amount is 2
- C. Remote orchestrator has no empty interfaces
- D. No Sync between orchestrators
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
One of the possible reasons for the "Failed to get remote orchestrator interfaces" error message, when clicking on "Orchestrator" in WebUI, is that the remote orchestrator has no empty interfaces that can be assigned to a security group. This can happen if all the interfaces on the remote orchestrator are already part of configured security groups, or if the remote orchestrator has no physical interfaces at all. In this case, the WebUI cannot display the unassigned interfaces of the remote orchestrator, and shows the error message.

- A. Yes, only for uplink interfaces
- B. No, only for the Security Group
- C. Yes, only for downlink interfaces
- D. Yes, for both uplink and downlink interfaces
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
Maestro allows you to define the distribution mode per interface, which determines how traffic is distributed among the Security Group Modules (SGMs) in a Security Group.

NEW QUESTION # 61
What is the max amount of Orchestrators in Dual-site setup?
- A. 0
- B. 4 per Security Group
- C. 2 per Security Group
- D. 1
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
A Dual Site setup can have either two or four orchestrators, depending on the scenario. However, the maximum number of orchestrators per Security Group is four, regardless of the number of sites. This is because each Security Group can have up to two orchestrators on each site, and each site can have up to two orchestrators. Therefore, the maximum number of orchestrators in a Dual Site setup is four per Security Group.

NEW QUESTION # 62
Which distribution mode assigns packets to an SGM based solely on the packet destination IP?
- A. Network mode
- B. Auto-topology mode
- C. Manual mode
- D. User mode
Answer: A
Explanation:
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.

NEW QUESTION # 64
How does HyperSync work in a Dual Site environment?
- A. Each active connection has two local backups (on the local site) and a third backup connection on the second site (remote site.)
- B. Each active connection has a local backup (on the local site) and a second backup connection on each of the MHOs.
- C. Each active connection has a local backup (on the local site) and a second backup connection on the second site (remote site.)
- D. Each active connection has a backup connection on the second site (remote site.)
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
HyperSync is a feature of Maestro that enables stateful synchronization of connections and resources across different sites in a Dual Site environment. HyperSync works by creating two backup connections for each active connection: one on the same site as the active connection, and another on the remote site. This ensures that the connection can be seamlessly resumed in case of a failover event, either within the same site or across the sites. HyperSync uses the Site-Sync port and VLANs to transmit the synchronization packets between the Security Group Members and the Maestro Orchestrators.

In a dual MHO environment, MHO1 and MHO2 are connected to the SGM line cards in which way?
- A. MHO 1 is connected to the odd-numbered ports, while MHO2 is connected to even-numbered ports.
- B. MHO1 and MHO2 are connected to the line cards in any order administrators see fit.
- C. MHO 1 is connected to the even-numbered ports, while MHO2 is connected to odd-numbered ports.
- D. MHO1 and MHO2 are connected to the SGMs using the Sync cable.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The correct way to connect MHO1 and MHO2 to the SGM line cards in a dual MHO environment is to use the even-numbered ports for MHO1 and the odd-numbered ports for MHO2. This is to ensure that each SGM has two downlinks to each MHO, and that the downlinks are balanced across the different NICs and links. This provides redundancy and high availability for the traffic flow between the SGMs and the MHOs.

NEW QUESTION # 68
When a VPN tunnel is formed with a Maestro SGM,
- A. 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.
- B. 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.
- C. 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.
- D. 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 connectionand tunnel owner.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
In scalable security environments, initial IKE (Internet Key Exchange) handling by a central orchestrator before distributing traffic for encryption is a common approach to maintain efficiency and security.
NEW QUESTION # 69
How many orchestrators may Dual-Site include?
- A. 0
- B. 2 or 4
- C. 1
- D. Only 4
Answer: B
Explanation:
A Dual Site environment can include either two or four orchestrators, depending on the scenario. There are three primary scenarios for Dual Site configuration:
*Direct connectivity between remote site orchestrators: This scenario requires two orchestrators, one for each site, and a direct connection between them using the site-sync port.
*Two orchestrators on the same site are connected to the remote site orchestrators through two different switches: This scenario requires four orchestrators, two for each site, and a connection between them using the site-sync port and two external switches that support QinQ and MTU increment.
*Two orchestrators on the same site are connected to the remote site orchestrators through one switch: This scenario also requires four orchestrators, two for each site, and a connection between them using the site-sync port and one external switch that supports QinQ and MTU increment.
