When configuring a Provider-1 management solution for your VSX Gateway, what is the fewest number of CMAs that must be licensed, for VSX management functionality?

Explanation

Managing a VSX Gateway through Provider-1 requires a minimum of 10 licensed CMAs - this is a hard licensing threshold set by Check Point for enabling VSX management functionality within the Provider-1 architecture. The reasoning is that VSX environments involve multiple Virtual Systems, each potentially requiring its own management domain (CMA), so Check Point established 10 as the baseline enterprise-scale commitment for VSX support.

Why the distractors are wrong:

A (50) and B (25) are above the minimum - valid CMA counts for larger deployments, but not the fewest required.
C (5) falls below the minimum threshold; Check Point does not support VSX management at this CMA count.
E (1) is the absolute minimum for basic Provider-1 operation, but insufficient to unlock VSX management functionality.

Memory tip: Think "VSX needs 10 to begin" - the "V" in VSX looks like a Roman numeral hint toward a higher number, and 10 represents the minimum enterprise commitment Check Point requires before granting VSX management capability. If you remember that 1 CMA = basic Provider-1 and 10 CMAs = VSX support, you can eliminate all other options quickly on exam day.
