The g_all prefix is used to run commands globally in Expert mode on all Security Group Members of the current Security Group. For example, g_all cpstop will stop the Check Point services on all SGMs. The other prefixes are not valid for global commands in Expert mode.

Maestro allows you to define the distribution mode per interface, which determines how traffic is distributed among the Security Group Modules (SGMs) in a Security Group. You can configure the distribution mode for each interface individually, or use the default mode for all interfaces. The distribution mode can be set for both uplink and downlink interfaces.

The cpinfo command is a tool that collects diagnostic information about the orchestrator, such as hardware, software, network, configuration, and logs. The cpinfo command generates a file that can be sent to Check Point Support for analysis and troubleshooting. The cpinfo command can be run on the orchestrator’s CLI or WebUI.

A downlink interface is a physical or virtual interface that connects a security gateway to an orchestrator. It allows the security gateway to send and receive configuration updates, policy changes, and other data from the orchestrator.

The lldpctl command is a tool to display information about the devices discovered by the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on all ports of the Maestro Orchestrator and the Security Group Members. LLDP is a protocol that enables devices to exchange information about their identity, capabilities, and configuration. LLDP can help to discover the topology and connectivity of the Maestro environment. The output of lldpctl can show the serial number, appliance model, and orchestrator’s IP of the connected devices, but it cannot show the distribution mode of the Security Group. The distribution mode is the algorithm that determines how the Maestro Orchestrator distributes the traffic among the Security Group Members. To view the distribution mode, other commands such as asg monitor or asg stat can be used.

The correct interfaces to connect to Orchestrator 1 for downlinks’ intra-orchestrator redundancy when using two Orchestrators are Port 1 in Slot 1 and Port 1 in Slot 2. This is because each slot represents a different NIC, and each port represents a different physical link. By connecting two ports from different slots, the appliance can have redundant connections to the same orchestrator, and avoid a single point of failure in case of a NIC or link failure.

According to the Check Point MAESTRO R80.20SP Administration Manual1, NAT is not supported on the management network. If you configure NAT on the management network, the Orchestrator will disable NAT and allow the traffic to pass without translation. This is to ensure that the management traffic can reach the Security Group members and the SmartConsole without any issues.

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.

The Pre-Upgrade Verifier is a tool that checks the compatibility and readiness of the Maestro environment for the upgrade process. It verifies the current version, the target version, the hardware requirements, the configuration settings, and the license validity of the Maestro Orchestrators and the Security Groups. It also identifies any potential issues or risks that might affect the upgrade and provides recommendations on how to resolve them. The Pre-Upgrade Verifier should be run before importing the R81.10 software package and before performing the actual upgrade.
