Quantum Maestro Orchestrator Ports and Gaia OS Interfaces

The tables below show how the Gaia Operating System on the Quantum Maestro OrchestratorClosed 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. assigns the interface names to the ports on the Quantum Maestro OrchestratorClosed See "Maestro Orchestrator".'s front panel (the default configuration).

Important - The Gaia Operating System on the Quantum Maestro Orchestrator does not let you configure the network settings for the Uplink or Downlink portsClosed 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).. You configure all the applicable network settings for the Uplink portsClosed 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. in the Gaia Operating System of the applicable Security GroupClosed 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. (for example, IP addresses, Bond interfaces). There are no network settings for the Downlink ports.

  • When you connect two Quantum Maestro Orchestrators MHO-170 for redundancy, Gaia OS shows:

    • eth1-XX and Port 1/X/X for the first Quantum Maestro Orchestrator.

    • eth2-XX and Port 2/X/X for the second Quantum Maestro Orchestrator.

  • The tables above show the default configuration before you connect breakout cables.

    After you connect breakout cables to the upper ports, you get four additional interfaces starting from the original interface name.

  • The port type "management" is supported only for Ports 1 and 2.

    See the summary table in Changing the QSFP mode and the default type of an Orchestrator port.
