156-836 practice question 6 of 15

In what mode do MHOs process traffic?

Full set: 88 questions

Answer options

A: MHOs process traffic in load sharing mode

B: MHOs process traffic in Active-Standby mode

C: MHOs process traffic in Active-Active mode Correct answer

D: MHOs process traffic in VSLS mode

Correct Answer:

C. MHOs process traffic in Active-Active mode

Explanation

Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrators distribute every incoming packet across all Security-Group Members. All SGMs are concurrently forwarding traffic; therefore the SG operates in true Active-Active mode, not in ClusterXL Load-Sharing, Active-Standby, or VSLS modes.

Why Incorrect

A. “Load-sharing mode” is a ClusterXL term; Maestro uses Active-Active distribution rather than ClusterXL Load Sharing.
B. No SGM is idle; there is no standby unit.
D. VSLS is a ClusterXL feature unsupported on Maestro.
