Which of the following is NOT maintained separately by each Virtual System on a VSX Gateway?

Question

Options

• AState tables
• BSecurity Policies
• CConfiguration parameters
• DManagement database
• ELogging Parameters

• A
  5% (2)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  91% (40)

Explanation

Option D is correct because the management database is centrally maintained by the SMS (Security Management Server) or MDS (Multi-Domain Server), not individually by each Virtual System - it's a shared, unified resource that oversees all Virtual Systems on the gateway. In contrast, each Virtual System does maintain its own state tables (A), tracking unique connection and NAT sessions per VS; its own security policies (B), enforcing separate rulebases; its own configuration parameters (C), including dedicated interfaces and routing tables; and its own logging parameters (E), defining where and how each VS sends logs. A helpful memory tip: think of the management database as the landlord's master record - the landlord (SMS/MDS) holds one central registry of all tenants (Virtual Systems), while each tenant independently manages what happens inside their own unit (states, policies, configs, logging).
