What is the Correction Layer?
A. Correction Layer is a daemon which corrects errors on Backplane interfaces
B. Correction Layer is a mechanism which handles asymmetric connections in multi-appliance system. For example, in case of NAT
C. Correction Layer is a mechanism which activated in case of asymmetric routing
D. Correction Layer is a Layer of GAIA OS which corrects misspelled commands and allows them to execute
Explanation:
The Correction Layer is a Maestro component that ensures that packets from the same connection are handled by the same Security Group Module (SGM) in a multi-appliance system. This is especially important when NAT is involved, as packets sent from the client to the server can be distributed to a different SGM than packets from the same session sent from the server to the client. The Correction Layer must then forward the packet to the correct SGM.
What type of cluster can a Security Group can be compared to?
A. Load Sharing Active / Active
B. VSLS
C. Active / Backup
D. Active / Standby
Explanation:
A Security Group can be compared to a Load Sharing Active / Active cluster because it consists of multiple Security Group Members that share the traffic load and provide high availability and scalability. Each Security Group Member is an active firewall that processes traffic according to the Security Group policy and synchronizes its state with other members. The Maestro Orchestrator acts as a load balancer that distributes the traffic among the Security Group Members based on their capacity and availability.
What happens if the SMO Master fails?
A. The next SGM with the current lowest SGM ID assumes the role of the SMO Master.
B. The Backup SMO Master will take over in the event of a failure with the SMO Master.
C. A failover will occur on the MHO and traffic will continue to pass.
D. The Security Group will no longer pass traffic and the issue must be resolved with the SMO Master.
Explanation:
This aligns with the principle of redundancy in network systems, where the next available device with the lowest ID typically takes over management roles in case of a failure.

Which command do you use to find bottlenecks in the system that are affecting performance, even functionality in some cases?
A. asg stat -v
B. asg diag verify
C. asg perf -v
D. asg monitor
Explanation:
The asg perf -v command is used to find bottlenecks in the system that are affecting performance, even functionality in some cases. The asg perf -v command displays the performance statistics of the Security Group Modules (SGMs) in the Security Group, such as throughput, packet rate, CPU utilization, memory usage, and more. The asg perf -v command also shows the distribution mode and the correction rate of each SGM, which can indicate potential issues with asymmetric routing or load balancing. The asg perf -v command can help identify which SGMs are overloaded, underutilized, or misconfigured, and provide insights for troubleshooting and optimization.

What type of license is required for an MHO?
A. The MHO requires a NGTP license.
B. The MHO requires a VSX license.
C. The MHO does not require a license.
D. A license is needed for each attached SGM.
Explanation:
The MHO (Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator) does not require a license by itself, but each SGM (Security Group Module) that is attached to the MHO needs a license. The license type depends on the features and blades that are enabled on the SGM. For example, if the SGM is running VSX, it needs a VSX license.
