Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R80 — Question 148

Mesh and Star are two types of VPN topologies. Which statement below is TRUE about these types of communities?

Answer options

• A. A star community requires Check Point gateways, as it is a Check Point proprietary technology.
• B. In a star community, satellite gateways cannot communicate with each other.
• C. In a mesh community, member gateways cannot communicate directly with each other.
• D. In a mesh community, all members can create a tunnel with any other member.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because, in a mesh community, all member gateways can directly connect with each other, allowing for multiple tunnel configurations. Option A is incorrect as not all star communities require Check Point gateways; they can also use other technologies. Option B is wrong because, while satellite gateways in a star community do not communicate directly, they communicate through the central gateway. Option C is false because, in a mesh community, member gateways can communicate directly.
