Discuss CheckPoint 156-836 Exam Topic 8 Question 9

Where should sx_api_ports_dump.py command be ran?

AManagement server

BSecurity Group

COrchestrator

DSMO Appliance

Suggested Answer: C

The sx_api_ports_dump.py command should be run on the Orchestrator, which is the device that manages the communication and the configuration of the Security Groups and the SGMs. The command shows the port mapping and the traffic distribution for each Security Group, as well as the backplane bonds and the Orchestrator ports. The command does not work on the Management server, the Security Group, or the SMO Appliance, as they do not have the same role and functionality as the Orchestrator.

Definitely not the Security Group, that's for sure!

Laurel 11 months ago

Wait, are you sure about the Management server? Sounds off.

Ashlee 11 months ago

I thought it could also run on the Orchestrator?

Gracia 11 months ago

Totally agree, that's where it makes the most sense!

Maile 12 months ago

It should be run on the Management server.

Clorinda 12 months ago

I definitely remember something about the Security Group, but I don't think that's where this command goes.

I'm a bit confused about this one. I thought it might be the SMO Appliance, but I can't recall the specifics.

Roselle 1 year ago

I remember practicing a question about where to run certain commands, and I feel like the Orchestrator was mentioned a lot.

Caren 1 year ago

I think the sx_api_ports_dump.py command is supposed to be run on the Management server, but I'm not entirely sure.

Based on my understanding, the SMO Appliance is the most likely location to run the sx_api_ports_dump.py command. That's where I'd expect to find the necessary APIs and interfaces to execute this script.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I'm not sure if the Security Group or Orchestrator would be the right place to run this command. I'll have to review the system architecture more closely.

Stefany 1 year ago

I'm pretty confident this command should be run on the Management server. That's where I'd expect to find the necessary tools and environment to execute this script.

Eleonora 1 year ago

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different components of the system and where this command would be most appropriate to run.

Micaela 1 year ago

Okay, let me see if I can break this down step-by-step. R4 is being introduced into the OSPF process via BGP, so that's an important detail. I'll need to consider how that affects the LSAs that R3 would advertise.

I feel like option D makes sense too, but then again, I can't quite recall if that's really what 3D privacy masking is.

I remember something about VPC limits from my notes, could it be that they reached the default limit for VPCs?

Aleisha 2 years ago

True, but I read somewhere that this command interacts mostly with the Orchestrator.

Alise 2 years ago

But isn't most of our command monitoring done on the Management server?

Maurine 2 years ago

Isn't the SMO Appliance more plausible? It's specific to operational tasks.

Maia 2 years ago

Really? I thought it's supposed to be the Orchestrator.

Alise 2 years ago

Yeah, kind of tricky. I'm leaning towards the Management server.

Aleisha 2 years ago

Hey, did you see that question about sx_api_ports_dump.py?
