Maestro Duel Orchestrator Synchronization

[Simon_Macpherso]

Hello,

Can anyone confirm if an SFP with fibre can be used for the Orchestrator primary (port/48) and redundant synchronization ports?

If a DAC cable is a requirement for synchronization, what is the current maximum length for a Checkpoint certified DAC cable  (3m?)

We have an upcoming dual MH-170/175 orchestrator deployment whereby each orchestrator will be installed a different racks that may be 5 or more meters apart.

I notice in the following SK that 5m and 10m DAC cables can be certified on business case.

This will be a requirement if SFP with fibre is not supported. 

Regards,

Simon

I run a mix of SFP (with fibre) and DAC cables with both my dual orch single site and for my dual site. You should be fine

Are you using SFP (w/fibre) on your MHO synchronization ports?

[vinceneil666]

Yes!, SFP with fibre on port 48 for MHO sync. Works fine and has been checked out as "OK" by Check Point tac.

Thanks! Do you know if 40G or 100G SFP (w/fibre) is also supported for both sync and downlink ports on MHO-170 or 175?

I dont know for sure - but I cant see why it should not work ? .. I would assume it would be fine.

I'll confirm with tac - thanks again for your input!
