The ______________ command will allow users to update the specified file on all SGMs.
Correct Answer: A
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. References *Check Point Certified Maestro Expert (CCME) R81.X Courseware, Module 4: Using the Command Line Interface and WebUI, Lesson 4.3: Global Commands, page 4-12 *Check Point R81 Maestro Administration Guide, Chapter 4: Using the Command Line Interface and WebUI, Section: Global Commands, page 4-10 *Maestro Commands for Security Groups - Check Point CheckMates
Question 22
Is it possible to define distribution mode per interface?
Correct Answer: D
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. You can configure the distribution mode for each interface individually, or use the default mode for all interfaces. The distribution mode can be set for both uplink and downlink interfaces.

Question 23
What Maestro component acts as a load balancer and network switch?
Correct Answer: B
*The Quantum Maestro Orchestrator uses the Distribution Mode to assign incoming traffic to Security Group Members. *Reference: Working with the Distribution Mode
Question 24
What is the Correction Layer mechanism?
Correct Answer: A
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.

Question 25
Layer 4 distribution is enabled by default in Maestro. Which is not a scenario when you would want to leave this enabled?
Correct Answer: B
This is the correct answer because Layer 4 distribution is not recommended when dynamic routing protocols are used in Maestro. Layer 4 distribution is a feature that adds the source and/or destination ports to the distribution equation, which can improve the load balancing among the SGMs. However, it can also cause issues with the correction layer, which is a mechanism that ensures the packets are processed by the correct SGM. Dynamic routing protocols, such as BGP or OSPF, use specific ports to exchange routing information and establish neighbor relationships. If Layer 4 distribution is enabled, it can interfere with the routing protocol packets and cause routing instability or failures.
