What Maestro component is automatically designated the SMO Master?

  1. The SGM with the lowest member ID (the first one added to the security group.)
  2. The MDS that pushes policy to the SMO is considered the SMO Master.
  3. The first MHO configured is considered the SMO Master.
  4. The SGM with the highest member ID (the last one added to the security group.)

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The SMO Master is the SGM that is responsible for synchronizing the configuration and policy with the other SGMs in the security group. The SMO Master is automatically designated as the SGM with the lowest member ID, which is usually the first one added to the security group. The SMO Master can be changed manually if needed.

The license type depends on the features and blades that are enabled on the SGM. For example, if the SGM is running VSX, it needs a VSX license.
