Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R80 — Question 79

If the Active Security Management Server fails or if it becomes necessary to change the Active to Standby, the following steps must be taken to prevent data loss.
Providing the Active Security Management Server is responsible, which of these steps should NOT be performed:

Answer options

• A. Rename the hostname of the Standby member to match exactly the hostname of the Active member.
• B. Change the Standby Security Management Server to Active.
• C. Change the Active Security Management Server to Standby.
• D. Manually synchronize the Active and Standby Security Management Servers.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is incorrect because renaming the hostname of the Standby member to match the Active member can cause conflicts and confusion in the network. The other options (B, C, and D) are valid steps that help in proper management and synchronization of the Security Management Servers during a failover process.
