Actual exam question for CheckPoint's 156-315.81 exam

Question #: 72
Topic #: 7

Alice & Bob are going to use Management Data Plane Separation and therefore the routing separation needs to be enabled. Which of the following command is true for enabling the Management Data Plane Separation (MDPS):

Aset mdps split brain on

Bset mdps split plane on

Cset mdps mgmt plane on

Dset mdps data plane off

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The correct command for enabling the management data plane separation (MDPS) is set mdps mgmt plane on. This command enables routing separation between management and data planes on a security gateway. This means that management traffic will use a different routing table than data traffic, which can improve security and performance.

I think "set mdps data plane off" sounds wrong because it doesn't seem to fit with enabling anything.

I feel like "set mdps mgmt plane on" could be a trick option. We had a similar question in practice, but I can't remember the details.

I remember something about "split brain," but I can't recall if it was related to MDPS or something else.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Is it asking about enabling or disabling the MDPS? I'll need to double-check my understanding of the concept before selecting an answer.

Okay, let me think this through. We need to enable the routing separation for the Management Data Plane Separation, so I'm guessing the correct answer is either B or C. I'll have to carefully read the options again to decide.

Hmm, this one seems a bit tricky. I'm not entirely sure about the correct command, but I'm leaning towards option C since it mentions "mgmt plane on" which sounds relevant.

I think the key here is understanding the concept of Management Data Plane Separation. The question is asking about the specific command to enable this, so I'll need to review my notes on that.
