What is correct statement about Security Gateway and Security Management Server failover in Check Point R81.X in terms of Check Point Redundancy driven solutions?
A.
Security Gateway failover as well as Security Management Server failover is an automatic procedure.
B.
Security Gateway failover is an automatic procedure but Security Management Server failover is a manual procedure.
C.
Security Gateway failover is a manual procedure but Security Management Server failover is an automatic procedure.
D.
Security Gateway failover as well as Security Management Server failover is a manual procedure.
In a Check Point environment:
Security Gateway Failover: This is typically an automatic procedure. When a Security Gateway fails or becomes unavailable, the control over traffic is automatically transferred to another active member in the cluster based on internal cluster algorithms. This ensures high availability and minimal disruption in service.
Security Management Server Failover: This process is manual. If the active Security Management Server fails or needs to be changed to standby, an administrator must manually initiate the changeover. The active server synchronizes with the standby server at intervals, but the changeover itself does not happen automatically.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the following sources:
R82 Security Management Administration Guide - Changeover Between Active and Standby
R82 ClusterXL Administration Guide - Initiating Manual Cluster Failover
Changeover between the primary (active) and secondary (standby) management server is not automatic. If the Active fails or it is necessary to change the Active to a Standby, you must do this manually. When the management server becomes Standby it becomes Read Only, and gets all changes from the new Active server.
Answer is B > If the Active server fails, you can initiate a changeover to make a Standby server become the Active server.
