Full set: 88 questions
Answer options
A: Auto-topology Correct answer
B: User
C: Manual-General
D: Network
Correct Answer:
A. Auto-topology
Explanation

Check Point Maestro distributes network traffic across all Security Gateway members within a Security Group. It supports several distribution modes to control how this traffic is balanced. The default mode is Auto-Topology. In this mode, the Maestro Orchestrator automatically learns the network topology by observing traffic and populating its MAC and VLAN tables. It then distributes traffic accordingly without needing manual configuration of networks or rules. This simplifies initial setup and adapts dynamically to network changes.

Why Incorrect

B: User-defined distribution is a powerful manual mode for granular control based on specific rules, but it is not the default. C: "Manual-General" is not a standard name for a Maestro distribution mode. The primary modes are Auto-Topology, Network, and User-Defined. D: Network-based distribution, which uses defined subnets to distribute traffic, is a valid configuration option but not the default.
