Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R80 — Question 7

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. The Magic MAC number must be unique per cluster node
• C. The Sync interface must not have an IP address configured
• D. If you have ג€Non-monitored Privateג€ interfaces, the number of those interfaces must be the same on all cluster members

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because having the same number of cores on each cluster node ensures balanced processing and performance. Option B is incorrect as the Magic MAC number must be unique but does not directly affect operational performance. Option C is wrong because the Sync interface can have an IP address configured; it must simply be properly managed. Option D is not mandatory since non-monitored interfaces do not impact the core functionality of ClusterXL.
