Mesh and Star are two types of VPN topologies. Which statement below is TRUE about these types of communities?

Question

Options

• AA star community requires Check Point gateways, as it is a Check Point proprietary technology.
• BIn a star community, satellite gateways cannot communicate with each other.
• CIn a mesh community, member gateways cannot communicate directly with each other.
• DIn a mesh community, all members can create a tunnel with any other member.

Explanation

In a Check Point VPN mesh community, every member gateway can establish an encrypted tunnel directly with any other member gateway - this is the defining characteristic of a full-mesh topology. Option A is false because star communities are not Check Point proprietary; the concept is standard across VPN solutions. Option B is misleading: in a star community, satellite gateways CAN communicate with each other, but only indirectly through the central (hub/center) gateway - they cannot create direct tunnels with each other. Option C has the topology backwards: mesh allows direct communication between all members, while it is the star topology where direct satellite-to-satellite tunnels are restricted.
