Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81.20 — Question 9

What could NOT be a reason for synchronization issues in a Management HA environment?

Answer options

• A. Hardware clocks do not match even with adjustments for different time zones
• B. Accidentally, you have configured unique IP addresses per Management Server which invalidates the CA Certificate
• C. There is a network connectivity failure between the servers
• D. The products installed on the servers do not match: one device is a Standalone Server while the other is only a Security Management server.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because configuring unique IP addresses for each Management Server does not directly lead to synchronization issues; it affects certificate validity instead. Options A, C, and D can all lead to synchronization problems, as clock mismatches, network failures, and differing server types can disrupt the necessary communication and data consistency required in a Management HA environment.
