CheckPoint Exam 156-315.81 Topic 10 Question 44 Discussion

Actual exam question for CheckPoint's 156-315.81 exam

Question #: 44
Topic #: 10

There are two R77.30 Security Gateways in the Firewall Cluster. They are named FW_A and FW_B. The cluster is configured to work as HA (High availability) with default cluster configuration. FW_A is configured to have higher priority than FW_B. FW_A was active and processing the traffic in the morning. FW_B was standby. Around 1100 am, its interfaces went down and this caused a failover. FW_B became active. After an hour, FW_A's interface issues were resolved and it became operational.

When it re-joins the cluster, will it become active automatically?

ANo, since 'maintain' current active cluster member' option on the cluster object properties is enabled by default.

BNo, since 'maintain' current active cluster member' option is enabled by default on the Global Properties.

CYes, since 'Switch to higher priority cluster member' option on the cluster object properties is enabled by default.

DYes, since 'Switch to higher priority cluster member' option is enabled by default on the Global Properties.

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) operates over different ports, with each serving a specific purpose. Port389is the default port for unsecured LDAP connections or LDAP with StartTLS, which upgrades the connection to use TLS (Transport Layer Security) for encryption.On the other hand, port636is used for LDAP over SSL/TLS, often referred to as LDAPS (LDAP Secure), where communication is encrypted from the start of the connection1.

Haha, I bet the developers at Checkpoint had a good laugh when they named those gateways 'FW_A' and 'FW_B'. Sounds like a cheesy sci-fi movie!

I think the correct answer is C. The question states that FW_A has a higher priority, so when it becomes operational again, it should automatically become the active cluster member.
