Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81 — Question 195

What is mandatory for ClusterXL to work properly?

Answer options

• A. The number of cores must be the same on every participating cluster node.
• B. If you have "Non-monitored Private" interfaces, the number of those interfaces must be the same on all cluster members.
• C. The Sync interface must not have an IP address configured.
• D. The Magic MAC number must be unique per cluster node.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because having the same number of cores across all cluster nodes ensures balanced performance and resource allocation. While options B, C, and D address other cluster configurations, they do not directly impact the foundational operation of ClusterXL like the core count does.
