Check Point Certified Harmony Endpoint Specialist — Question 19

There are two 10Gbps dual-port NICs and one 40Gbps NIC installed on a 23800 Appliance in slots 1, 2 and 3 accordingly. Which interfaces should be connected to Orchestrator 1 for downlinks' intra-orchestrator redundancy when using two Orchestrators?

Answer options

• A. Any pair of available ports
• B. Port 1 in Slot 2 and Port 2 in Slot 1
• C. Port 1 in Slot 1 and Port 2 in Slot 1
• D. This configuration is not supported

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because connecting both ports in Slot 1 ensures redundancy within the same NIC, allowing for failover if one link fails. Options A and B do not guarantee intra-orchestrator redundancy as they may involve ports from different NICs or slots. Option D is incorrect as the configuration is supported with the appropriate connections.
