Glossary
-
An optical fiber cable that contains several jacketed simplex optical fibers that are packaged together inside an outer jacket. Synonyms: Fanout cable, Fan-Out cable, Splitter cable.
-
Direct Attach Copper cable. A form of the high-speed shielded twinax copper cable with pluggable transceivers on both ends. Used to connect to network devices (switches, routers, or servers).
-
Interfaces on the Quantum Maestro Orchestrator used to connect to Check Point Security Appliances. You use DAC cables, Fiber cables (with transceivers), or Breakout cables to connect between the Downlink ports and Security Appliances. The Check Point Management traffic (policy, logs, synchronization, and so on) co-exists with the data (user) traffic on the Downlink ports. Bandwidth is guaranteed for the Check Point Management traffic (portion of the downlink bandwidth). These ports form the system backplane (management, data plane, synchronization).
-
The name of the global command line shell in Check Point Gaia operating system for Security Appliances connected to Check Point Quantum Maestro Orchestrators. Commands you run in this shell apply to all Security Appliances in the Security Group.
-
Check Point patented technology that makes sure that active connections are only synchronized to backup Security Appliances in the Security Group. HyperSync makes sure each connection flow has a backup within the Security Group.
-
A scalable Network Security System that connects multiple Check Point Security Appliances into a unified system. Synonyms: Orchestrator, Quantum Maestro Orchestrator, Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator. Acronym: MHO.
-
See "Maestro Orchestrator".
-
A logical group of Security Appliances that provides Active/Active cluster functionality. A Security Group can contain one or more Security Appliances. Security Groups work separately and independently from each other. To the production networks, a Security Group appears a single Security Gateway. Every Security Group contains: (A) Applicable Uplink ports, to which your production networks are connected; (B) Security Appliances (the Quantum Maestro Orchestrator determines the applicable Downlink ports automatically); (C) Applicable management port, to which the Check Point Management Server is connected.
-
Role of a Security Appliance (Security Gateway Module). Part of the Security Group that contains the assigned Security Appliances. A Security Appliance in a Security Group has one IPv4 address and represents all assigned Security Appliances as one entity.
-
Feature that allows to assign the same Management Port (interface ethX-MgmtY) on a Quantum Maestro Orchestrator to different Security Groups. The assigned Management Port has a different IP address and a different MAC address in each Security Group, to which this port is assigned.
-
Single Security Gateway object in SmartConsole that represents a Security Group configured on Quantum Maestro Orchestrator. Acronym: SMO.
-
The physical Security Appliance in a Security Group that handles management tasks for all Security Appliances in the Security Group. By default, this role is assigned to the Security Appliance with the lowest Member ID in the Security Group.
-
Role of the Quantum Maestro Orchestrator (SSM) that manages the flow of network traffic to and from the Security Groups.
-
Interfaces on the Quantum Maestro Orchestrator used to connect to external and internal networks. Gaia operating system shows these interfaces in Gaia Portal and in Gaia Clish. SmartConsole shows these interfaces in the corresponding SMO Security Gateway object.
