What is the role of a Single Management Object, SMO, in ElasticXL?
A.
Each member of an ElasticXL Cluster connects to the Security Management Server on the server’s virtual IP address as defined in the Check Point Host object called the Single Management Object, SMO.
B.
The Single Management Object, SMO, provides a single IP address for use in management communication and policy installation, simplifying the management of the ElasticXL Cluster.
C.
An object created for each individual ElasticXL Cluster member using its respective internal IP address is called a Single Management Object, SMO, for the member gateway.
D.
The Single Management Object, SMO, applies to a cluster of Management Servers using ElasticXL.
The correct answer isB. SMO is the ElasticXL management abstraction that lets the cluster be managed as one Security Gateway using one management IP address. It is used for management communication and policy installation, and the SMO Master distributes/updates relevant management tasks to the other members. Option A is badly worded and incorrectly focuses on each member connecting through a server virtual IP. Option C is the opposite of SMO because it says each member gets its own object. Option D is wrong because ElasticXL SMO applies to the scalable Security Gateway cluster, not to a cluster of Management Servers.
