One of the benefits of a Dual MHO environment is that it can provide both scalability and redundancy to the Maestro system. Scalability means that the system can handle more traffic and SGMs as the demand grows, and redundancy means that the system can survive the failure of one or more components without losing functionality or performance. Dual MHOs can achieve these benefits by distributing the load and the management tasks among two orchestrators, and by providing backup and failover mechanisms for each other.

The asg_perf_hogs command is a script that displays the processes that are consuming excessive system resources, such as CPU, memory, disk, and network, on the orchestrator and the appliances. It can help identify performance issues and bottlenecks in the Maestro environment.

In a Check Point Maestro environment, a splitter is used to divide a single high-speed port (e.g., QSFP or QSFP28) into multiple lower-speed ports (e.g., SFP or SFP+). However, a splitter cannot be used to connect a single port on an Orchestrator to the same Appliance, as this would not align with the purpose of a splitter, which is to expand connectivity to multiple devices or ports, not to loop back to a single device.

Exact Extract:

“A splitter is used to divide a single high-speed port on the Orchestrator (e.g., QSFP or QSFP28) into multiple lower-speed ports (e.g., SFP or SFP+). Splitters are typically used to connect a single Orchestrator port to multiple ports on an external switch or to multiple Appliances. However, a splitter cannot be used to connect a single Orchestrator port to the same Appliance, as this does not align with the splitter’s purpose of expanding connectivity.”

Explanation of Options:

A. To connect a single port on an Orchestrator to the same Appliance: Correct, as a splitter is not designed for this purpose and cannot be used to connect an Orchestrator port to a single Appliance.

B. To connect a single port on an Orchestrator to multiple ports on an external switch: Incorrect, as this is a valid use case for a splitter.

C. To connect a single port on an Appliance to multiple ports on the Orchestrator: Incorrect, as splitters can be used in configurations where an Appliance connects to multipleOrchestrator ports.

D. To connect a single port on an Orchestrator to multiple Appliances: Incorrect, as this is another valid use case for a splitter.

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.

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.
