Traffic Distribution within SGMs who has different downlinks

 

Hi mates,

 

Quick question, How does Orchestrator distribute traffic between two appliances in the same Security Group when one of them has a single downlink and the other has two downlinks?

Thanks

@starmen2000 distribution will be the same. That's why it's recommended to use the same downlinks for all SGMs of SecurityGroup. See Configuration of Downlinks for Maestro Appliances 

"5. We recommend that each appliance be plugged into each MHO with the same number of downlink ports so that each SGM receives and transmits the same throughput."

This means it's 50/50 %,right? or  33.3/66.7 %?

@MarcuzShinz 50/50 is default for two appliances if you have the same models in your SG. Distribution is calculated and can be configured with weights of the security members Configuring Weights for Security Group Members (checkpoint.com)
