What is the distribution mode?

Question

Options

• ADistribution mode is the same as QSFP mode
• BDistribution mode is how the Orchestrator distributes traffic in between Security Groups
• CDistribution mode means selected algorithm for traffic distribution in between Orchestrators
• DDistribution mode means selected algorithm for traffic distribution in between Appliances

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  8% (4)
• D
  88% (42)

Explanation

Option D is correct because "distribution mode" refers specifically to the algorithm chosen to distribute traffic among the individual appliances themselves - for example, round-robin, hash-based, or least-connections algorithms applied at the appliance tier.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because QSFP is a physical transceiver form factor; it has no logical relationship to traffic distribution algorithms.
• B is wrong because it confuses the target of distribution - traffic is distributed to appliances, not between Security Groups (which are logical policy constructs, not traffic-forwarding endpoints).
• C is wrong because it misidentifies the subject of distribution: the algorithm governs traffic flow between appliances, not between Orchestrators. Orchestrators manage/control the appliances; they don't receive the distributed traffic themselves.

Memory tip: Anchor on the word "appliances" - think of distribution mode as the load-balancing recipe your system follows when deciding which physical/virtual security appliance handles each flow. The Orchestrator uses the algorithm; the Appliances receive the distributed traffic.
