Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R80 — Question 176

In ClusterXL Load Sharing Multicast Mode:

Answer options

• A. only the primary member received packets sent to the cluster IP address
• B. only the secondary member receives packets sent to the cluster IP address
• C. packets sent to the cluster IP address are distributed equally between all members of the cluster
• D. every member of the cluster received all of the packets sent to the cluster IP address

Correct answer: D

Explanation

In ClusterXL Load Sharing Multicast Mode, all members of the cluster receive every packet sent to the cluster IP address, which ensures redundancy and load sharing. Options A and B incorrectly suggest that only one member receives the packets, while option C implies that packets are distributed, which does not reflect the multicast behavior of the mode.
