MAESTRO Dual Single Site Configuration - bonding of interface and management ip address

[leangf_leangf1]

Hi Checkmates.

Good day. I just wanted to clarify on the configuraiton settings of maestro (dual maestro in a single site);

-For the bonding of interfaces, Maestro-1 and Maestro-2 are already connected and can be adminitered via its management port ip (located at the back), what interfaces should be bonded;

Any sample interface assignments bonding?

Also, for the management interface ip, e.g for MNGT1- 10.10.10.10/24, can i assign same subnet to the Maestro -eth1-Mgmt1

thank you.

Hi

First of all, maestro is a solution composed by orchestrador and Security Gateway Modules SGM, so you have dual orchestrator, you manage each orchestrator via Mgmt1 and Mgmt2 rear panel. each orchestrator have their own ip-address it does mean orchestrator 1 IP 10.10.10.1/24 orchestrator 2 10.10.10.2/24.
Now for Security group, when you create the security Group you have add management interfaces eth1-Mgmt1 (orchestator1) and eth2-Mgmt1(ochestrator2) both should be in management bond no traffic bond. we recommend to bond them for redundancy. And yes you can use the same subnet like 10.10.10.3/24 

If you have dual site, site 2 must be a mirror of site 1. 

I recommend to check Jump Start videos Check Point Jump Start Course: Maestro - Check Point CheckMates

Hi Dario, thank you for the information. Since the SGs were connected and detected by the Orchestrator1 and 2 via their downlink ports. This have to be bonded also as recommended?

Thank you.

donwlink is bonded by default, don't need configure it. just cabling.

Hello Dario,

Noted on this. For the revenue ports with corresponding ip addresses who will configured. eg. on orchestrator-1 (1/5/1] and on orchestrator-2 [2/5/1] needs to be bonded and assigned ip address (e.g: zone: Trust). and so on for the remaining interfaces that will participate in the network .

Thank you.
