What is the maximum number of Appliances within Security group in Dual-Site configuration?

Question

Options

• A28
• B31
• C15
• D16

• A
  87% (34)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  8% (3)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A (28) is correct because in a Dual-Site Security Group configuration (as seen in platforms like Check Point Maestro Hyperscale), the architecture supports a maximum of 28 Security Gateway Modules - combining capacity across both sites with the constraints imposed by dual-site orchestrator pairing, which reduces total headroom compared to simply doubling a single-site limit.

Option D (16) is wrong because 16 reflects a single-site maximum per Security Group, not the expanded capacity available when both sites are combined. Option C (15) is a close distractor, likely confused with a near-boundary single-site limit or an off-by-one misremembering of 16. Option B (31) has no documented architectural basis and serves as a plausible-sounding high number to catch guessers.

Memory tip: Think "2 sites, but not 2x" - Dual-Site doesn't simply double the single-site cap of 16 to 32; the real limit is 28 because orchestrator pairing eats into available slots. If you remember that dual-site gives you more than 16 but less than 32, only 28 fits.
