Checkpoint 156-836 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

A Security Group (SG) requires at least one management port and one uplink port to function properly. The management port is used to connect the SG to the Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator (MHO) and the customer’s management infrastructure, such as SmartConsole or SmartDomain Manager. The uplink port is used to connect the SG to the customer’s network infrastructure, such as switches, routers, or firewalls. The uplink port is also used to send and receive traffic from the customer’s network to the SG.

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.

Orchestrators in many network environments do not require separate licenses, as they primarily function to manage and distribute network traffic.
