CheckPoint 156-315.81 Exam - 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.

Suggested Answer: D

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.

I’m leaning towards option B, but I’m not 100% sure.

I believe option C is correct, higher priority should kick in.

Wait, are we sure about that? I thought higher priority would take over.

I think it will stay inactive since the default is to maintain the current active member.

I recall reading that the higher priority member should take over, so I’m leaning towards option C or D. But I need to double-check the default settings!

This question seems familiar; I practiced something similar where the active member stayed in control. Could it be option A or B?

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the priority settings should allow FW_A to take over once it’s back online.

I think I remember that the default setting keeps the current active member, so FW_A might not become active again automatically.

I'm leaning towards B. The question says the "maintain current active cluster member" option is enabled by default, which suggests that FW_B would remain active even after FW_A comes back online. But I'm not 100% certain, so I'll have to double-check the details.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key is that the default cluster configuration is set to high availability. So when FW_A comes back online, it should automatically become the active member since it has higher priority. I'm going with C.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. The question mentions the "maintain current active cluster member" option, but I'm not sure if that applies in this case since the higher priority member is coming back online. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C, since the question states that FW_A has a higher priority than FW_B. The default behavior should be to switch back to the higher priority member when it becomes operational again.

This is a tricky one, but I think the answer is C. The question specifically states that FW_A has higher priority, and in a high availability cluster, the default behavior is to switch to the higher priority member when it becomes available again. I'm feeling pretty confident about this.

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 was unsure at first, but I agree with Meaghan. The 'Switch to higher priority cluster member' option is enabled by default, so FW_A should take over the active role when it rejoins the cluster.
